Plot Synopsis

They're comedians starring in a thrilling drama, but if their jokes don't land in the unscripted scenes, they're off the show. Hosted by the Japanese comedy duo Chidori, LAST ONE STANDING is a survival comedy talk show during which 24 comedians and talents engage in talk battles to move on to the next stage starring in a thrilling drama with strong actors. The portion of the script is unscripted, and the cast is tasked with sharing their stories -- in their own words. But will that be enough? After witnessing the first elimination, the remaining contestants dig up their most laughably humiliating secrets for the next unscripted scenes. Netflix released the entire eight-episode first season of LAST ONE STANDING on Tuesday, March 8, 2022.
