Nick Kroll is set to take on the role of host and executive producer for the American version of "LOL: Last One Laughing" on Prime Video. The competition series brings together ten of the top comedians and comedic actors into a room for six hours, challenging them to make the room laugh without themselves laughing. Contestants are permitted to employ various techniques to break their competitors, ranging from improvisation to physical comedy.
Kroll expressed his excitement about the project, stating that he has long admired the show's format and is eager to witness America's most talented comedians endure the challenge of maintaining a straight face. The franchise has gained significant traction, with 25 international adaptations since its inception from the Amazon Original series "Documental."
Alongside Kroll, a roster of renowned hosts will lead their respective countries, including Graham Norton for Ireland, Rebel Wilson for Australia, Trevor Noah for South Africa, Jimmy Carr for the UK, Jay Baruchel for Canada, Eugenio Derbez for Mexico, Michael "Bully" Herbig for Germany, and Philippe Lacheau for France. The series, developed by Ben Winston, Emma Conway, and Eric Pankowski, will also be executive produced by Kroll and Good At Business.
Amazon granted approval for the show in August. Amazon MGM Studios' head of nonfiction, Jenn Levy, praised Kroll's sharp wit and passion for mischief, emphasizing that having him lead the project feels "almost unfair."
