Rooster Teeth is uncoincidentally debuting its latest comedy competition series on 4/20. Titled Last Laugh, the venture -- part social experiment, part game show -- will see 12 contestants trapped in a room for six hours; whoever laughs, smiles, or smirks three times is eliminated until only one creator is left standing.
The unscripted series -- which will offer a $1,000 cash prize for one winner -- comes courtesy of Funhaus, a Rooster Teeth-owned gaming and comedy channel. The series was created by longtime Funhaus member and gaming personality Elyse Willems, with Rooster Teeth co-founder Geoff Ramsey serving as host, and Rooster Teeth’s Stephanie Ard directing.
The contestants are: James Willems, Adam Kovic, Willems, Jon Smith, Lindsay Jones, Michael Jones, Alfredo Diaz, Fiona Nova, Gus Sorola, Chris Demarais, Blaine Gibson, and Jessica Vasami. Each contestant has three lives, with one life lost for every smile, snicker, or full-on giggle.

Though Machinima ceased consumer-facing operations earlier this month and laid off the majority of its staff, a handful of the gaming-focused digital network’s shows will live on at Rooster Teeth. Rooster Teeth's rescue mission feels a little serendipitous given that both digital OGs create content in the gaming space, and both are owned by At&T.
First, Austin-based Rooster Teeth will resume production an iconic brand within the Machinima empire: Inside Gaming -- a hub for quick updates on what’s happening in the gaming industry. Adam Kovic, who founded Inside Gaming in 2008 but left with his team in 2015 to found the Funhaus gaming channel at Rooster Teeth, will be involved in the relaunched production. The cast of the revamped venture will also include editor-in-chief Lawrence Sonntag, Kovic, another original member named Bruce Greece, and former IGN reporter Alanah Pearce. Staffers from Rooster Teeth’s The Know news channel and...

More than three years after they left Machinima, the original Inside Gaming crew has returned to their own home. On June 8, Adam Kovic and Bruce Greene hosted a special episode of their old show, in which they discussed the upcoming game Fallout 76 and shared a clip from the new movie Tag.
As part of the reunion, Kovic and Greene introduced a fake segment called "Tag Watch," in which James Willems riffs about the film's development. The video ends with an exclusive clip from Tag, which follows a group of friends who have been playing the same game of tag for 30 years.
Calling the new Inside Gaming episode a reunion is a bit of a misnomer, since most of the show's old hosts -- including Kovic, Greene, and Willems -- make videos together on the Rooster Teeth-owned channel Funhaus, which they launched days after airing their last Inside Gaming episode. On that hub,...

In 2015, Austin-based Rooster Teeth expanded into Los Angeles with the launch of Funhaus, a channel that brought over most of its hosts from Machinima's old Inside Gaming crew. Two years later, Funhaus has flourished, picking up a dedicated following thanks to a combination of gameplay, humor, nonsense, and even scripted content, such as the new animated series Sex Swing. The members of the Funhaus gang -- (from left to right above) James Willems, Elyse Willems, Bruce Greene, Lawrence Sonntag, Matt Peake, and Adam Kovic -- now count more than a million subscribers on their channel, and we caught up with Greene and Kovic to hear some of their thoughts.
