Wild ‘N Out is a game show that pits two teams of comedians against each other in a series of improvisational comedy games. One team is captained by Cannon while the other is always led by a celebrity guest. After three games, the two teams compete in a final round called “WildStyle” where they deliver a line directed at the opposition team while freestyle rapping.

Episodes also include a musical performance, often by the celebrity guest captain. The most recent season featured guests like Chance the Rapper and GloRilla.
