Nobody Knows Anything: A New Comedy Experience Arrives on HBO Max in North America
In a bold move that blends radio humor with television spectacle, the long running improvisation program Nobody Knows Anything is set to debut on HBO Max on June 18. The show marks a significant expansion for its creators as the series crosses from radio waves to the streaming screen, bringing its distinctive voice to a wider North American audience.
The project is born from a collaboration between the streaming platform and El Terrat, the production company led by veteran comedian Andreu Buenafuente. While the format will shift to a televised arena, the creators promise that the heart of the program will remain intact. HBO Max envisions a faithful transition that preserves the improvisational energy, rapid-fire humor, and unpredictable turns that fans have come to expect from the radio version.
Improvisation, humor, surreal moments, and audience participation stand as the pillars of this new phase as the show prepares to reach viewers through a different format. The adaptation keeps the spirit of spontaneity that defines the original while exploring fresh possibilities offered by television production and the platform’s reach.
The conceptual core of the series is simple yet ambitious. It treats the careers and experiences of two seasoned comedians as ingredients for a nightly performance. The duo crafts a live, evolving dish of comedy that reflects decades of stage and radio work, now plated for a television audience. This is more than a set of sketches; it is a dynamic experiment in timing, collaboration, and storytelling.
From the perspective of the performers, the project represents a milestone and a creative space that feels like a safe harbor for two seasoned comics. Buenafuente explains that the show condenses a long career into a single, concentrated moment on screen while keeping the essence that fans have followed for years. The format allows for bold ideas and unfiltered energy, offering a new way to present familiar humor on a platform built for contemporary viewing habits. Source: HBO Max.
For Berto Romero, the enterprise is described as a personal dream and a space for creative experimentation. He characterizes the project as a protected hut for two comedians, a playful arena where wit and timing can collide with spontaneity. The weekly sequence becomes a ring of comedy where playful warnings and unguarded moments help define the show’s identity in this fresh medium. Source: HBO Max.
