After an opening monologue on the topic in question, host
Craig Ferguson and his guest panelists embark on a discussion to find the superlative in history on that topic. The superlative generally leans more on the side of "worst" as opposed to "best". They are provided a short list of contenders for the title, that list which they slowly whittle down to a final two based on the unscientific criteria of their choice. It is then down to the studio audience which will make the choice of the winner.
