Into this room walk ten Italian comedians, each with a suitcase of props and a head full of ambushes. Fedez and Mara Maionchi, the hosts, explain the law of the land from a raised mezzanine like kindly tyrants: no laughing at any of your own jokes or anyone else's, no leaving the room without consequence, with contestants competing in a six-hour session that was edited into episodes. The first infraction earns a yellow warning. The second sends a comedian home. One survivor collects 100,000 euros for a charity of their choice.\n\nThe opening stretch belongs to aggression. Angelo Pintus decides almost immediately that his path to victory runs through Frank Matano, and he declares open war, stalking Matano with bits, impressions, and physical provocations designed to break him specifically. The rivalry becomes the show's first running storyline, with the other comedians watching like spectators at a duel. The punchline is that Pintus destroys himself: he laughs at one of his own jokes, the one crime the rules punish most directly, and his campaign against Matano ends in self-elimination. Matano survives his nemesis, only to fall later to Elio, who alters his voice and attacks with a fluorescent tube, a gag so absurd and so effective that the tube itself briefly becomes a top-selling product on Amazon.<sup>[21](https://www.kaleidoverse.it/2021/05/07/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-fenomeni-comic-show/)</sup>\n\nThe early episodes also claim Gianluca Fru and Luca Ravenna, the two contestants critics judged the least ready for this particular war.<sup>[22](https://www.cinematographe.it/recensioni-serie/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-recensione-show-amazon/)</sup> As the room empties, the survivors stop holding back. Lillo Petrolo, the stravagante of the group, unveils Posa-Man, an invented superhero whose whole power is posing. The character takes on a life beyond the show, spawning fan-made videos and becoming one of the season's defining images.<sup>[21](https://www.kaleidoverse.it/2021/05/07/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-fenomeni-comic-show/)</sup> Elio, the frontman of the band Elio e le Storie Tese, goes in the opposite direction, building his campaign on pure strangeness: a full Monna Lisa disguise, a tip-tap routine, escalating absurdity delivered with the face of a man discussing the weather.\n\n**The heart of the season is the four-way endgame, and the moment people remember is Caterina Guzzanti simply refusing to lose.** By the final episode the room holds four people: Elio, Katia Follesa, Ciro Priello of The Jackal, and Caterina Guzzanti. Guzzanti has played a different game from everyone else. Instead of constant assault she deploys fully formed characters, the hapless stagista, Pippa Amazon, a Miss Italia, sketches that arrive like little short films inside the show, and almost nobody manages to make her laugh at all.<sup>[23](https://www.rollingstone.it/cinema-tv/serie/il-finale-di-lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-perche-si-perche-no/557289/)</sup> Watching her sit untouched amid the chaos, while veterans around her collect warnings, is the season's most impressive running sight. But the format punishes stillness as surely as laughter: Guzzanti, having joined the fray less than her rivals, is edged out on a technicality of the regulations, a photo-finish elimination that half the internet considers a robbery.<sup>[23](https://www.rollingstone.it/cinema-tv/serie/il-finale-di-lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-perche-si-perche-no/557289/)</sup> Elio goes next, felled by a second warning, his Monna Lisa campaign ending in the very mechanism he had dodged all day. That leaves Ciro Priello and Katia Follesa, settling the endgame in a final standoff that resolves with Priello as the winner, a remarkable result for a man who had picked up a warning as early as the second episode and spent the rest of the season walking a tightrope.<sup>[24](https://it.mashable.com/prime-video/5581/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-finale-recensione-chi-ha-vinto)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[25](https://it.blastingnews.com/tv-gossip/2021/04/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-vince-priello-003305526.html)</sup>\n\nPriello's victory lap is characteristically modest: he donates the entire 100,000 euros to Action Aid, the international human rights organization.<sup>[25](https://it.blastingnews.com/tv-gossip/2021/04/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-vince-priello-003305526.html)</sup> The final image of the season is the room finally allowed to laugh, all at once, after six hours of holding it in.\n\n### Characters\n\n**Ciro Priello** (himself), of the comedy group The Jackal, is the season's quiet strategist. His bits are simple, direct, and devastatingly effective, and his discipline is the story of the season: warned in the second episode, he never gives the hosts a second chance to remove him.<sup>[22](https://www.cinematographe.it/recensioni-serie/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-recensione-show-amazon/)</sup>\n\n**Caterina Guzzanti** (herself) is the show's undisputed queen, a chameleonic impressionist who fights with prepared characters rather than improvised jabs. She laughs at almost nothing, and her elimination on a technicality turned her into the season's moral winner in the eyes of many fans.<sup>[23](https://www.rollingstone.it/cinema-tv/serie/il-finale-di-lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-perche-si-perche-no/557289/)</sup>\n\n**Elio** (himself) is the agent of chaos, a veteran musician-comedian whose Monna Lisa disguise, tip-tap, and voice-altered attacks made him the season's meme factory and the man who took out Frank Matano.<sup>[21](https://www.kaleidoverse.it/2021/05/07/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-fenomeni-comic-show/)</sup>\n\n**Lillo Petrolo** (himself), of the duo Lillo & Greg, is the season's eccentric soul, creator of Posa-Man, the posing superhero who escaped the show entirely and lives on in fan content.<sup>[21](https://www.kaleidoverse.it/2021/05/07/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-fenomeni-comic-show/)</sup>\n\n**Katia Follesa** (herself) reaches the final standoff, a steady presence who outlasts nearly everyone without ever becoming the season's loudest storyline.<sup>[24](https://it.mashable.com/prime-video/5581/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-finale-recensione-chi-ha-vinto)</sup>\n\n**Angelo Pintus and Frank Matano** (themselves) provide the season's first great feud, which ends not with a knockout but with Pintus laughing at his own material and escorting himself out.<sup>[21](https://www.kaleidoverse.it/2021/05/07/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-fenomeni-comic-show/)</sup>\n\n**Fedez and Mara Maionchi** host from above the fray, handing out warnings with the solemn delight of customs officers at a carnival.\n\n### Interpretations and controversies\n\nThe finale divided the fandom. Rolling Stone Italia called Guzzanti the season's best performer and argued her elimination was a rules-lawyer's decision that rewarded participation over excellence.<sup>[23](https://www.rollingstone.it/cinema-tv/serie/il-finale-di-lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-perche-si-perche-no/557289/)</sup> The other controversy was external: veteran critic Aldo Grasso published a negative review in Corriere della Sera, and the backlash on Twitter was so fierce that #aldograsso trended, with fans treating the review as an attack on a national party.<sup>[24](https://it.mashable.com/prime-video/5581/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-finale-recensione-chi-ha-vinto)</sup>\n\n### Sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations\n\nThe show is Italy's version of the international LOL: Last One Laughing format, and its success was confirmed on April 23, 2021 with a renewal for a second season, whose cast was revealed that November.<sup>[26](https://www.teamworld.it/spettacolo-tv/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-streaming-amazon-prime-video/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[27](https://udite-udite.it/2021/11/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-svelato-il-cast-della-seconda-stagione/)</sup>\n\n## Format and rules\n\nThe premise is deliberately simple. Ten comedians of different styles are locked in a studio-stage room for six hours and must try to make their opponents laugh without ever laughing themselves.<sup>[8](https://www.wired.it/play/televisione/2021/04/06/lol-chi-ride-fuori-show-risata-scema-liberatoria-ci-voleva/)</sup> The show plays on the common belief that professional comedians rarely laugh at each other's material, so contestants often resort to slapstick and deliberately silly, disarming gags rather than polished jokes.<sup>[8](https://www.wired.it/play/televisione/2021/04/06/lol-chi-ride-fuori-show-risata-scema-liberatoria-ci-voleva/)</sup> Contestants adopt individual strategies to suppress laughter, from a Zen-like practice adopted by Caterina Guzzanti to the running and sweating of Frank Matano and the facial exercises of Lillo.<sup>[8](https://www.wired.it/play/televisione/2021/04/06/lol-chi-ride-fuori-show-risata-scema-liberatoria-ci-voleva/)</sup>\n\nThe six hours of play are edited into episodes of roughly 30 minutes each, released in blocks on Prime Video.<sup>[5](https://www.movietele.it/serietv/2021-lol-chi-ride-e-fuori)</sup> The hosts observe the competition from a control room and act as referees.<sup>[9](https://endemolshine.it/news/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-la-nuova-stagione-disponibile-in-esclusiva-su-prime-video-dal-23-aprile/)</sup>\n\n## Origin of the format\n\nThe show derives from the Japanese format *Documental*, created by Hitoshi Matsumoto, one of the most popular faces of Japanese comedy.<sup>[4](https://www.donnamoderna.com/people/entertainment/hitoshi-matsumoto-ideatore-lol-chi-ride-e-fuori)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://selectra.net/pay-tv/guida/serie/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-streaming)</sup> Before the Italian version, the format had already succeeded in Japan, Mexico, Australia, Germany, and Spain.<sup>[10](https://www.gqitalia.it/show/article/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-frank-matano-pintus-elio-amazon-prime-video-recensione-intervista)</sup> The Italian edition was produced by Endemol Shine Italy.<sup>[10](https://www.gqitalia.it/show/article/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-frank-matano-pintus-elio-amazon-prime-video-recensione-intervista)</sup>\n\n## Season 1 and reception\n\nThe first season, hosted by the rapper Fedez together with the record producer Mara Maionchi, featured ten comedians: Caterina Guzzanti, Frank Matano, Elio, Lillo, Katia Follesa, Angelo Pintus, Ciro and Fru of The Jackal, Michela Giraud, and Luca Ravenna.<sup>[1](https://www.primevideo.com/-/it/detail/0PI0L557VHS483BSF5UN9HSJ9H?tr=va)</sup> The winner was Ciro Priello of The Jackal.<sup>[11](https://www.corriere.it/spettacoli/21_aprile_08/lol-chi-ride-fuori-ecco-chi-vincitore-attenzione-spoiler-a0b4b02e-97a6-11eb-b3c4-d1c4be2a345c.shtml)</sup>\n\nThe show became an immediate internet phenomenon, with memes, videos, and gags circulating widely in the weeks after release.<sup>[6](https://www.wired.it/play/televisione/2021/04/15/lol-chi-ride-fuori-piu-visto-amazon-prime-video-italia/)</sup> Nicole Morganti, head of Italian original productions at Amazon Studios, confirmed in an interview with Variety that it was the most-watched title ever on Prime Video in Italy, a result that pointed toward a second season.<sup>[6](https://www.wired.it/play/televisione/2021/04/15/lol-chi-ride-fuori-piu-visto-amazon-prime-video-italia/)</sup> Reviewers also noted the show's timing: its pure silliness, without references to the pandemic, the crisis, or politics, arrived when audiences wanted light entertainment.<sup>[8](https://www.wired.it/play/televisione/2021/04/06/lol-chi-ride-fuori-show-risata-scema-liberatoria-ci-voleva/)</sup>\n\n## The shared-sketch controversy\n\nA few days after the final episodes of season 1, images circulated on social media showing that several gags in the Italian version also appeared in the German edition of the format: Lillo's magic trick, in which he pretends to lengthen his wand and pulls out tissues one by one, and Elio's Mona Lisa disguise both matched German sketches.<sup>[12](https://www.vanityfair.it/show/tv/2021/04/12/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-sketch-uguali-versione-tedesca-polemica-lillo)</sup> The explanation lies in the format itself: since *LOL* derives from the Japanese *Documental*, it is built on a shared starting repertoire of bits designed to provoke reactions from the contestants.<sup>[12](https://www.vanityfair.it/show/tv/2021/04/12/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-sketch-uguali-versione-tedesca-polemica-lillo)</sup>\n\nLillo explained in an interview with the *Corriere della Sera* that the magic number performed by both him and the German comedian was the work of the magician Lioz, and that he had declared the authorship at the start of the sketch. \"The concept of LOL is to make the others laugh, not necessarily with material of one's own repertoire,\" he said, adding that contestants may use anything that makes them laugh, always declaring the

annual Prime Video original. Season 2 premiered on 24 February 2022, with Fedez co-hosting alongside Frank Matano and a new cast including Virginia Raffaele, Corrado Guzzanti, Diana Del Bufalo, Maccio Capatonda, Maria Di Biase, Mago Forest, Alice Mangione, Gianmarco Pozzoli, Tess Masazza, and Max Angioni.<sup>[13](https://www.primevideo.com/-/it/detail/0NIZDA48PWCIFSMQ05QGO52WRT?tr=ca)</sup> Season 3 followed on 9 March 2023.<sup>[5](https://www.movietele.it/serietv/2021-lol-chi-ride-e-fuori)</sup> Seasons 4, 5, and 6 ran in April 2024, March 2025, and April 2026 respectively, each with six episodes.<sup>[7](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori)</sup>\n\nFor season 6, premiering on 23 April 2026 with the first five episodes and closing on 30 April, the hosts in the control room were Alessandro Siani and Angelo Pintus, assisted by Federico Basso and Andrea Pisani as their designated disruptors, ready to intervene and put the contestants to the test.<sup>[9](https://endemolshine.it/news/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-la-nuova-stagione-disponibile-in-esclusiva-su-prime-video-dal-23-aprile/)</sup> The new cast included Carlo Amleto, Valentina Barbieri, Giovanni Esposito, Barbara Foria, Sergio Friscia, Francesco Mandelli, Paola Minaccioni, Scintilla, UfoZero2, and Yoko Yamada.<sup>[9](https://endemolshine.it/news/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-la-nuova-stagione-disponibile-in-esclusiva-su-prime-video-dal-23-aprile/)</sup>\n\nThe franchise also expanded with specials and spin-offs. *LOL Xmas Special: chi ride è fuori* was a one-off holiday episode presented by Fedez, bringing back comedians from earlier seasons such as Frank Matano, Mago Forest, Michela Giraud, Lillo, and [Maria Di Biase](https://www.edgepedia.org/maria-di-biase), while Mara Maionchi competed for the first time.<sup>[14](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/54423/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori/episodeguide)</sup> A related franchise program, *LOL Talent Show: Chi fa ridere è dentro*, was created in which Mago Forest accompanied a jury searching for the next contestant for the main show.<sup>[15](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/54423/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[16](https://www.primaonline.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/PrimeVideoPresents2024_Italia_Ita.pdf)</sup> A Halloween special hosted by the Gialappa's Band, with Lillo as an assistant, aired in October 2026 with a cast including Maccio Capatonda, Herbert Ballerina, Brenda Lodigiani, Lucia Ocone, Katia Follesa, and Andrea Pisani; reviewers judged it a return to form for a format that had been stagnating.<sup>[17](https://www.ciakeazione.it/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-halloween-special/)</sup>\n\n## Critical reception\n\nReception has tracked the show's evolution after its exceptional debut. Reviewers agree that the success of the first season, arriving in 2021 when audiences still needed pure entertainment, was unrepeatable, and that over the years the format has tired at points while remaining a reliably amusing annual appointment.<sup>[18](https://www.hynerd.it/lol-6-chi-ride-e-fuori-recensione/)</sup> Season 5 drew a spread of judgments, from the view that it found a great balance among all cast members to the criticism that the biggest problem lay in the casting; several reviewers noted that the final minutes of that season delivered a surprisingly moving moment involving its winner.<sup>[19](https://criticometro.it/serie-tv/recensioni-lol-chi-ride-e-fuori-224504)</sup> Season 6 received a 6.5/10 from HyNerd, which judged that the show recovers somewhat and the comedians interact better than in other seasons, but that the recycling of ideas has dropped noticeably and the show may be near the end of its run.<sup>[18](https://www.hynerd.it/lol-6-chi-ride-e-fuori-recensione/)</sup> On IMDb the series holds a rating of 7.2 out of 10.<sup>[20](https://www.justwatch.com/it/serie-tv/lol-chi-ride-e-fuori)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
