This is a sad excuse for comedic show. At most, you get a dad joke/pun that makes you think "oh that's witty, I guess" The host is pretty annoying. When Jackie is on the show he repeatedly shouts "JAH-KAY" and its so unfunny it feels like I'm watching a "comedy" video from Instagram. I can almost guarantee you the audience is paid to laugh, which is probably why the prize money is so small. The budget for the show is so low that when the loser leaves, they leave with NOTHING. Well actually that's not true; the loser leaves with embarrassment for being on such a bad show. I'm just going to list a bunch of things that show how low-budget this show is:
1) There is no inspiration or or effort put into the stage where the show takes place. *not enough money for a good setup*
2) The "smash hit line of comics" are just a bunch of old people that used to be in sitcoms and don't know the first thing about making people laugh. (sitcoms, as in unfunny, boring shows where 24% of the episode is taken up by laugh tracks placed at what are considered to be "jokes" I guess.) *not enough money to hire actually funny people*
3) Loser gets nothing *not enough money to even pay for their hotel*
4) The big prize money is only 5 grand. (Host announces it like it is a new car/$50,000.) *not enough money to give out anything worth going for*
5) They literally use the horrible song "Happy" from that horrible artist Pharrell Williams, from that horrible movie Despicable Me 2, from that horrible entertainment company Illumination. *not enough money to hire a composer that will make the theme memorable and not make you want to pluck out your eardrums*
Anyway, let me complain some more. Every time the comics tell a "funny" answer, everyone in the audience, the host, the contestants,and the comics laugh like they just heard the most hilarious thing in the world. (personally I have a theory that the more they laugh, the more they get paid. It's really the only reasonable explanation.)
Recap of why much I despise this show: 1) Not funny 2) Bad host 3) Loser leaves with nothing 4) Low-budget 5) Everyone laughs too much for it to be natural.
Never watch this. You are welcome for the warning :D
