2021 Italian TV series or program
LOL - Chi ride è fuori is an Italian comedy reality television show based on the format of Japanese comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto's Documental.[1] It is hosted by Fedez, Mara Maionchi (Season 1) and Frank Matano (Season 2–3),[2] The first four episodes were published on 1 April 2021, while the remaining two were made available on April 8.[3]
On April 23, 2021, the game show was renewed for a second edition.[4] The first 4 episodes of the second edition were released on February 24, 2022, while the remaining 2 on March 3, 2022.
Rules
The rules are the same as other editions: 10 comedians are locked in a house-theater for six consecutive hours. The goal of each player is to make others laugh by any means: jokes, gags, props (present in a special "locker room" or brought from outside). In case of laughter, smiles and grimaces, a player is initially cautioned with a yellow card and, subsequently, sent off with a red card and then eliminated from the game. Furthermore, the players are obligated to actively participate in the game, under penalty of a warning or elimination.[5]
The conductors (here defined as host and co-host), positioned in the so-called control room, observe and comment on what is happening in the room through a camera system and, using a console, give the competitors precise commands and / or suggest to them inputs for comic interventions. The last player remaining wins. The final prize is 100,000 euros, which the winner will donate entirely to charity.[6]
