Nick Cannon Presents Wild 'N Out is a series that showcases a half-hour of unpredictable snaps and outrageous situations. Every episode, it’s Nick vs. A-List celebrities, as each leads their own team of 'improv comedians' in an attempt to come out on top in a variety of ridiculous comic throw-downs. Traditional improv games get a hip-hop twist as Nick and others rip the headlines--and reputations. It all culminates in a freestyle comedy battle to decide who wins fame and who goes home in shame. Don’t miss the illest 'improv' on television!

Occasionally, there are comedy sketches in the beginning, middle, and/ or end of the episode.

Wild 'N Out premiered in 2005 on MTV, and after ten popular episodes, the series went on hiatus, with no mention of a return. In early late 2005, it was released that season one of Wild 'N Out was going to be put on DVD and released on March 7th. It was also released that Season Two of Wild 'N Out would begin.
