THE ONE SHOT is Disney Plus's first original variety series in Japan. The show is a collaboration between Disney Plus and Yoshimoto Kogyo, with comedian Daigo of Chidori serving as executive producer. Daigo selected eight comedians to take part.
The format is unusual: each comedian writes and directs a short film over three months, with a single constraint: the film must contain exactly one joke. The series is described as a comedy battle, and the winner becomes the first GOLDEN ONE SHOT champion.
All eight episodes stream from August 12. The participants have not been revealed. Daigo discussed the show in a special interview ahead of the premiere, explaining the format's combination of film and comedy under the one-joke rule.
