Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out is an American sketch comedy and improv television series that was created and hosted by comedian Nick Cannon.[1] It debuted on July 28, 2005, on MTV and concluded in Summer 2007.
In November 2012, MTV2 announced that the series would be returning in 2013 after a six-year hiatus. The series will follow Cannon as he searches high and low for the newest upcoming comedy stars, along with bringing back familiar faces from previous seasons of the series. It will also feature the show's original cast.[2][3] The premiere episode of season five had 1.1 million total viewers, making it the highest-rated telecast in MTV2 history.[4]
In November 2014, Wild 'n Out was renewed for a seventh season by MTV2.
The show continued its run on Wednesday December 16, 2015.

Premise
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Similar in premise to shows such as Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the series puts two teams of comedians against each other in a series of Wild 'n Out games which are all basically "improvisational" comedy games. The Teams are the "Red Squad", which was the team name until Season 5 where they became the "Platinum Squad" and were permanently Captained by Cannon and the "Black Squad", led by a celebrity guest until Season 7 where the situation was reversed with Cannon becoming the Black Squad team captain and the celebrity guest leading the Platinum Squad.
After three such games, the two teams square off against each other in the final round of the game called 'WildStyle', in which they must deliver a punchline directed at their opponent's team member(s) within a freestyle rap. The comedians "beef" with each other; however, some are impersonal jokes. Although similar to Whose Line, the "points don't matter", the teams score one point per round victory during the normal rounds, plus one point per favorably judged punchline during 'Wild Style'.
Each episode also includes a musical performance, occasionally by the guest captain for the Black Squad (Nick Cannon performed with Migos in Season 6 in the episode featuring Chanel Iman). At times, the musical guest comes out just before 'Wild Style' as the judge for the beefs. Major changes were implemented for the second season including shifting the show location to Hollywood and the teams now compete for a "Wild 'n Out" Championship belt which if the Black Squad wins, the team captain gets to take home. As of Season 5, the show once again shifted locations from Hollywood to New York City.
Production
Season one aired on MTV on July 28, 2005, the earlier episodes were live from Hollywood and the original set changed for four seasons. The first run episodes were suspended as Mr. Renaissance Entertainment had became Ncredible Entertainment in 2012. The fifth season (up to its current season) are now produced in New York City. The Wild'n Out Theme Song for Season 1-4 was produced by Fat Man Scoop. The theme music for Season 5 up to its current season was curated by Nick Cannon himself.
