Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Jason Sudeikis, TOURNAMENT OF LAUGHS is a competition reality series that turns comedy into sport, with comics facing off each week in a single-elimination bracket-style tournament. The comics go head-to-head virtually to out-funny one another, with Sudeikis acting as the master of ceremonies and providing color commentary. The comics create, produce, self-film, and star in their own videos -- from stand-up sets to song parodies and everything in-between. After the episode airs, the home audience decides who moves forward -- via phone and online voting -- with the winning comics returning for the next round. The final episode features an expert comedy panel charged with crowning a winner in the championship match-up for the last laugh and bragging rights as tournament champion. Each of the 32 comedians has been placed into one of four regions -- The South, The Wast, The West and Unknown, Probably Canada -- and first-round matchups are set:

UNKNOWN, PROBABLY CANADA

Moshe Kasher vs Aida Rodriguez
