Doug Benson Comes Out on Top in @midnight 2017 Tournament of Champions

In many ways, it would seem as if Doug Benson was made for @midnight. Excelling at quick wordplay and riffing on the Internet has lead to him being one of the go-to competitors for the show and, for 2017, the @midnight champ. Take note that @midnight has been on the air for over 3 years, meaning that they have a deep, deep pool to pull from for this now annual contest.

Benson won this week in the final round of The Tournament of Champions over at Moshe Kasher and Milana Vayntrub.

Paul F. Tompkins has been the only other @midnight Tournament of Champions winner.

Having been on the air since 2013, comedians have battled it out with puns, one-liners, riffs, and shenanigans to win @midnight. After nearly two and a half years, the winningest competitors finally went in for a “March Madness” style tournament, appropriately held in March, to see who would be the best @midnight player of them all.

So, after a week, the brilliant Paul F. Tompkins has appropriately become the first winner of The @midnight Tournament of Champions Two Girls Won Cup Trophy. If this win means that Paul has won the Internet until further notice, we’re completely fine with that.

Watch him win the crown in the extended, uncut final round of @midnight’s Tournament of Champions.
