Celebrity performers and guests including Kevin Hart, Iggy Azalea, Shaquille O’Neal, Snoop Dogg, Zendaya, T-Pain, French Montana, Wyclef, Kanye West, Jay Leno, and Ryan Lewis have contributed some of the most viral moments in television to the freestyle program.
The series pits two teams of comedians against one another in a series of Wild ‘N Out games, which are all essentially “improvisational” comedy games.
Each episode also has a musical performance, sometimes by the Black/Platinum Squad guest captain.
Sometimes the musical performer enters the stage right before “Wild Style” to serve as the judge for the beefs.
Since season 2, the teams have competed for a Wild ‘N’Out Championship belt (Million Dollar Chain in seasons 16 and 17), where if the Black Squad wins, the team captain gets to take home the belt, but if Cannon’s team wins, he gets to keep the belt (chain).
Nick Cannon developed and hosts the American sketch comedy and battle rap game show television series Wild ‘N Out, which is presently running on VH1.
It originally made its premiere on July 28, 2005.
The show was renewed for a further 90 episodes until Season 16 in April 2019.
The expansion of Wild ‘N Out to VH1 was announced on June 19, 2019.
