The Search for the Funniest Mom in America, or simply Funniest Mom, is a five part reality series that features a competition between ten female comedians who compete for $50,000, the opportunity to develop her own show for Nick at Nite and host a special night of programming on the network. As of season three however the winner is no longer given the opportunity to develop their own show.[citation needed]
