Fulwell Entertainment has been commissioned by Amazon to make a US version of hit comedy format, Last One Laughing.
The news was first reported by Deadline.
The format has been a hit for Amazon with local versions produced across several territories.
Last One Laughing is produced in the UK by Banijay UK labels Zeppotron and Initial and has already been commissioned for a third series.
Last One Laughing is based on Japanese series Documental, created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo, where Matsumoto leads 10 comedians betting their own money in an anything goes “battle of laughter behind closed doors.”
The Last One Laughing format became the most watched title of all time on Prime Video in France, Germany and Italy, and had successful local versions in over 20 territories. Local celebrity hosts include Graham Norton (Ireland), Jay Baruchel (Canada), Eugenio Derbez (Mexico), Fedez (Italy), Michael “Bully” Herbig (Germany), Rebel Wilson (Australia) and Trevor Noah (South Africa).
