StatusAiring

All In is an American unscripted comedy competition series that has aired on Pun Intended since September 21, 2011. It is the network's first and only unscripted original series. Each episode pits two teams of five comedians against each other across a series of comedic challenge rounds. The show is episodic; team compositions vary between episodes and no elimination format is used. Episode titles follow a round and game-related pun format.

All In premiered alongside Team Party on September 21, 2011 as part of the network's Fall 2011 expansion. It is currently in its sixth season.

Premise

All In is structured around comedic challenges rather than skill-based tasks — rounds are designed to produce comic situations, miscommunications, and failures as much as successes. Scoring is acknowledged but treated loosely. Each episode is self-contained. No elimination format is used; the show does not remove contestants over the course of a season. The competitive element is present throughout but is secondary to the comedy generated by the format.

Production

All In was the first unscripted format developed by Kellerman Broadcasting and Pun Intended's first departure from entirely scripted original programming. The show films multiple episodes per production block. Comedian rosters are drawn from a recurring pool with occasional guest participants. Production is based in Columbus, Ohio.

Reception

All In premiered September 21, 2011 to 7.14 million viewers. It has grown consistently across six seasons, currently averaging above 20 million in Season 6. Season averages: S1 8.28M, S2 10.94M, S3 13.07M, S4 15.44M, S5 18.48M, S6 21.37M.
