Funniest Wins

In the premiere episode of Funniest Wins, Marlon Wayans welcomes the 10 competitors and immediately tasks them with their first challenge, which is to perform comedy for tourists on a double-decker bus as it moves through the streets of Hollywood. Later, Marlon and guest star Orlando Jones mentor the comics through their first elimination challenge where they must create viral videos. Omar Epps also guest-stars.

Marlon Wayans and Internet superstar Brittany Furlan mentor the nine remaining competitors on the creation of funny Vine videos. With help from Marlon and the multi-talented Affion Crockett, the contestants then break into teams to write and perform sketches for the studio audience, who will cast votes for their favorites. Marlon and Affion must then decide whom from the bottom three to send home.

In this week's first challenge, the comedians must create hilarious characters for a round of speed-dating with actual daters as Marlon Wayans and guest mentor Iliza Shlesinger watch. For round two, Tom Green and Marlon mentor the comedians to take their character improv skills to the next level, where they must create a hilarious hidden camera prank or face going home.

Marlon Wayans reveals that this week's first guest mentor, DeRay Davis, is there to coach the comedians through their first challenge, which is the ultimate comedy snap rap battle in the gritty streets of Los Angeles. In the elimination challenge, they must compete in a no-holds-barred roast of TV and hip-hop star, Ray J.

Marlon Wayans tells the comedians that this week is all about making funny music. With help from musical comedy experts Owen Benjamin, Todrick Hall, and Tenacious D's Kyle Gass, the six comedians pair up to write hilarious songs and shoot videos to go with them in less than 48 hours. Only the funniest can win as the rest are up for elimination.

With help from Marlon Wayans and guest mentor David Alan Grier, the comics do funny interviews with people on the street. Later, Deon Cole and Marlon coach the remaining comedians as they develop stand-up routines to present for a hundred burly bikers who will help determine who stays in the competition.

In this week's episode, the comics have one day to write and shoot a hilarious commercial parody to screen for not only Marlon Wayans and guest mentor Jamie Kennedy, but also a live audience. Then they must take on one of their biggest challenges yet: making an animated short from scratch in just two days. The comedians are thrilled to learn from animation voiceover legend, Billy West, in the process, but ultimately one of them is going home.

With $100,000 at stake in the season finale, the three finalists must take everything they've learned over the past eight weeks and put together their own mini comedy show with help from Marlon Wayans and guest mentor Jay Chandraskhar, as well as some surprise helpers. The big moment finally arrives as the comedians present their shows to a live audience, Marlon, and guest judge Damon Wayans, Jr.
