Documental
''Documental'' is a Japanese Television comedy, comedy show created and hosted by Hitoshi Matsumoto and has been airing on Amazon Prime Video since 30 November 2016. Format 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 are not active enough. The only way to communicate with the outside is a telephone controlled by the host. International versions References External links * {{Amazon Video orig ...
