Reality Bites Back is a reality show hosted by Michael Ian Black that parodies various reality show formats. It premiered July 17, 2008, on Comedy Central. The name is derived from the 1994 film Reality Bites.
Ten comedians compete in a variety of contests that spoof popular reality shows. Each week one contestant is eliminated. The winner is then declared the "Lord of All Reality" and receives a $50,000 prize.[1] The show is stated to be about 50% sketch comedy and 50% actual reality.[2]
