Plot Synopsis

Hosted by the always barefooted Kurt Braunohler, a trio of comedians compete in a series of bizarre challenges to win surreal prizes. Each week, contestants are armed with nothing more than their wits and fertile imaginations as they complete drawing and sculpture challenges, create movie pitches, translate diner jargon and interact with an ever-changing coterie of modern dancers, puppies, jockeys, babies, gospel singers and more. The offbeat games and challenges include: "Pad The Gravestone," during which contestants are challenged to add lingo to the granite monument of someone's dearly departed to enhance their legacy; "Fix This Animal," as competitors are challenged to tell how they would improve upon the zoological characteristics of a member of the animal kingdom; "Unstamp the Tramp," when challengers use magic markers to transform the somewhat questionable tattoo on the lower back of a live female model; "Top This Lie," where they must out-fib Kurt in a rapid-fire succession of untruths; "Wordy and the Tramp," where they provide answers to a series of disconnected questions while they and the host bounce on trampolines; and many more comedy games and stunts. In the end, the prizes contestants are dueling for are ones that are beyond the powers of any mortal, such as the ability to travel back in time, having a priest supply an alibi, trading lives with a baby, and getting probed by an alien. Contestants include: Ethan T. Berlin, Alex Borstein, Michael Che, Andrew Daly, Ben Garant, John Gemberling, Chris Gethard, Dana Gould, Jordan Klepper, Damien Lemon, Thomas Lennon, Bobby Moynihan, Eugene Mirman, Kumail Nanjiani, Matt Oberg, Nicole Parker, Alison Rich and a cameo by Morgan Spurlock.
