Award-winning comedy show “LOL: Last One Laughing” has broken a record with its third season. For the third time in a row, the hit show is the most-streamed title of all time on Prime Video in Germany and Austria. The streaming service reported on Tuesday.

Host Herbig is also looking forward to new challenges in season four: “I’ll put it this way, if you’re already laughing on the floor and think it’s no longer possible, the fourth season comes from somewhere.”
How LOL: Last One Laughing works
In “LOL: Last One Laughing” ten comedians and celebrities locked in a room try to make each other laugh and get kicked out of the show for six hours. They do everything to achieve this goal: stand-up, comic character, improvisation and, above all, full use of their bodies.
Michael Bully Herbig watches the hustle and bustle from his control room and removes every celebrity from the show in the event of the smallest repeated facial derailment. The last person in the group can donate a sum of 50,000 euros to a good cause.
