The Misery Index is a game show where contestants compete to rank hilarious and outrageous events on a scale of 1-100 based on the "misery index," a ranking system created by a team of therapists. Hosted by Jameela Jamil and featuring the comedy duo The Tenderloins, the show challenges contestants to guess the misery index of different scenarios, from getting a bad haircut to being attacked by a bear. The contestant who can accurately rank the events in order of misery wins a cash prize.
