In every episode, Chris welcomes a group of three comedians who engage in a hilarious competition based on internet culture and social media. The format of the show requires contestants to come up with clever captions for obscure memes, invent puns about current events, and participate in wild improv games.
Season 5, episode 85 of @midnight follows this pattern and features three comedians who are more than up to the challenge. The guests for this episode are Dolph Ziggler, a professional wrestler and actor, Rory Scovel, a comedian and actor, and Emma Willmann, a stand-up comedian and actress.

Throughout the episode, the three comedians compete against each other in a series of hilarious games hosted by Chris Hardwick.

They then move on to a game called “Hashtag Wars,” where they have to come up with funny tweets based on a given theme.
