The Great American Joke Off


The Great American Joke Off is an American comedy panel game show that ran for one season in 2023 on The CW. The series is created by Dan Patterson — co-creator of the network's long-running improv comedy series Whose Line Is It Anyway? — and hosted by Dulcé Sloan.

Format

Two teams, each consisting of three stand-up comedians, compete against each other over several rounds involving telling as many jokes as possible, whether pertaining to subjects as prompted by host Sloan, using texts on an audience member's phone, or in response to the comedians' own jokes. Sloan chooses the comedian or team of comedians she personally deemed to be the funniest in each round, and declares an overall winning team at the end of each episode.
