no prize. As far as I can understand this is not a competition but a comedy show and these guys are contesting comedians. they're doing this for fun and fame.
I'll check again later if I understood correctly.

  comedy, "fun and fame"!?!?

If they stay on THIS show they are unlikely to reproduce!

Culturally, is this a popular type Japanese show, or is it an extreme case?

Have you never seen the old "endurance" shows from the 80's? I could never be sure if half the antics were genuine or not, but that was brutal :lol:
