The show had a different theme for each episode, which allowed the producers to showcase a wide range of different comedic styles, physical challenges, and genres of entertainment. Some themes included 'Action Movie', 'Christmas', and 'Horror' among others. The themes were chosen based on the various guests' interests, and they were given free rein to explore their comedic talent and creative minds.

The winner of each episode was awarded a gold medal, and at the end of the season, the performer with the most medals was declared the 'Riot Champion.'
