LOL: Last One Laughing Philippines is a Philippine comedy reality competition show based on Documental, a format created by Japanese comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto. Hosted by comedian, presenter, and actor Vice Ganda, it aired on Prime Video on July 4, 2024.[1][2][3]
Chad Kinis was proclaimed the winner of the first season on July 18, 2024.[4][5][6]
Development
[edit]On May 30, 2024, it was announced via Prime Video Philippines' social media accounts that a Philippine version of Documental (known as Last One Laughing in other countries) is in the works, and will premiere on July 4 of the same year.[7][8][9] On June 19 and 26, 2024, Vice, the competing celebrities, and Prime Video Philippines released the series' trailer and teasers on their respective social media accounts.[10][11]
Format
[edit]Ten comedians stay in a living-room style studio with hidden cameras for a few hours (usually six). During this time, they must try to make their opponents laugh in any way and by any means, while not reacting at their opponents’ attempts to make them break. At the first laugh, the competitor is cautioned (yellow carded), while a second eliminates the player from the game (red carded). However, large infractions may be given an automatic red card. Eliminated players join the host in the observation room, but may return as an external challenger to the remaining contestants. The comedians can also be eliminated if they aren't active enough. The only way to communicate with the outside is a telephone controlled by the host.[12]
