Initiated by the legendary Hong Kong film star and director Stephen Chow, the show features 44 groups of comedians vying for the coveted title of 'King of Comedy.' Since its release in mid-August, the show has rapidly gained popularity, achieving a content popularity index of about 8,700.

由傳奇香港影星和導演周星馳發起的節目，共有44組喜劇演員爭奪「喜劇之王」的稱號。該節目自八月中旬發佈以來，迅速走紅，獲得了大約8700的內容受歡迎指數。它還在包括美國、加拿大和澳大利亞在內的海外市場上名列愛奇藝的綜藝節目榜首。
The show, with the slogan of "From Ordinary to King of Comedy," aims to inspire everyone to step onto the stand-up comedy stage and share their life observations. It provides a platform for individuals from all walks of life, including crosstalk performers, rappers, delivery workers, civil servants, and even those with speech and visual impairments, to express themselves through their unique life experiences.
該節目以「從平凡之人走向喜劇之王」爲口號，旨在激勵每個人走上單口喜劇舞臺，分享他們對生活的觀察。它爲來自各行各業的個人提供了一個平台，包括相聲演員、說唱歌手、快遞員、公務員，甚至有言語和視覺障礙的人，通過他們獨特的生活經歷來表達自己。
Chow once elaborated on this theme, stating that "the king of comedy" represents a group of ordinary people who passionately pursue their dreams despite numerous challenges. He highlights their authenticity and resilience, urging everyone to become protagonists in their own stories and embody the spirit of perseverance and enthusiasm in their quest to overcome obstacles.
周星馳曾詳細闡述了這一主題，他表示「喜劇之王」代表着一群在面對衆多挑戰時熱情追逐夢想的普通人。他強調了他們的真實性和韌性，並敦促每個人成爲自己故事中的主角，在克服困難的追求中體現出毅力和熱情的精神。
In April, as part of its ongoing commitment to the comedy genre, iQIYI announced a partnership with Stephen Chow's Bingo Group to produce innovative content that spans various formats and genres, further expanding their collaboration on popular IPs.
今年四月，愛奇藝宣佈與周星馳的比高集團合作，共同製作跨越多種形式和流派的創新內容，進一步擴大了它們在熱門IP上的合作。
Building on the success of previous comedy hits like Super Sketch Show, The King of Stand-up Comedy further enriches iQIYI's comedy ecosystem. The two seasons of Super Sketch Show not only garnered immense success but also discovered numerous actors for iQIYI's comedy-focused 'Laugh on Theater.' These actors have since starred in popular series such as A Soldier's Story, The Great Nobody, and Our Parallel Universes.
在以往的喜劇熱門作品《超級搞笑秀》的成功基礎上，《喜劇之王》進一步豐富了愛奇藝的喜劇生態系統。《超級搞笑秀》的兩季不僅取得了巨大的成功，還爲愛奇藝的喜劇互動節目「樂在影視劇場」挖掘了大量演員。這些演員後來還主演了熱門劇集《士兵的故事》、《偉大的無名小卒》和《我們的平行宇宙》。
Industry data indicates that comedy clubs and offline shows in Chinese mainland have seen substantial growth over the past few years. Furthering this trend, iQIYI has collaborated with over 40 comedy clubs for the show, bringing both top performers and emerging talents to the forefront. The show also provides a platform for these clubs to exchange ideas and break down barriers between online and offline comedy, driving the industry forward and promoting sustainable development.
