If you love seeing competitions where comedians face off on who can say the funniest thing based on a premise, you’re living in a veritable promise land.
One such show, TruTV’s Comedy Knockout, returns tonight at 11PM. Here’s a taste of what’s to come with Clayton English, Noah Gardenswartz, and Jessimae Peluso.
In Comedy Knockout, which will likely be TruTV’s more rough and tumble, roast-y version of @midnight, three comedians will come up with best burns for both various challenges and each other. Host Damien Lemon manages the chaos that ensues.
The competitive comedy series premieres tomorrow night at 10PM on TruTV, but you can see it in action with Sean Patton, Chris DiStefano, and Arden Myrin in the hot seats in these previews.
Want to see the likes of Dave Hill, Jamie Lee, Arden Myrin, Nick Turner, Leonard Ouzts, Sarah Tiana, Kurt Metzger, Martin Monroe, Jim Norton, Jordan Carlos, and more duke it out by talking trash to each other in front of a live audience?
Well, TruTV’s latest series might just be your thing. Comedy Knockout hosted by Damien Lemon features all of the above as well as dastardly punishment for the comics that get knocked out.
See it all for yourself in the trailer.
Look for the series preimere on Thursday, April 21st at 10:30pm on TruTV.

Where the challenges on the earlier seasons of Last Comic Standing didn’t work, maybe they’ll work on Comedy Knockout.
TruTV rebranding as a comedy network has seemingly fared quite well for them and, as such, they’re headed further in that direction. Their latest series order is for a stand-up competition show featuring head-to-head comedy challenges.
NYC comedian Damien Lemon is set to host and a fair amount of roasting is being touted as well.
With Roast Battle’s popularity have spread beyond LA, don’t be surprised to see more of this sort of show pop up on TV more and more.
