The winner becomes the first 'GOLDEN ONE SHOT' champion. All eight episodes stream from August 12. The participants have not been revealed.
A teaser trailer for "THE ONE SHOT" is now on YouTube, showing silhouettes of the eight comedians who will compete. The show, Disney+'s first original variety program in Japan, is produced by Chidori's Daigo in collaboration with Yoshimoto Kogyo. Each comedian writes, directs, and produces a short film over three months, with the rule that the work must contain exactly one punchline. The winner receives the title of first-generation "GOLDEN ONE SHOT" champion. Daigo said he hopes the format could change skits and manzai by turning everyday moments of suppressed laughter into comedy weapons. All eight episodes stream from August 12. The participants have not been named.
