Making It is an American reality competition television series, co-hosted by Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. The series aired from July 31, 2018, to August 26, 2021, on NBC. [1] [2]
The show features craftspeople skilled in different media competing to be named the "Master Maker" and win $100,000. Each week, competitors make two handmade projects—a "Faster Craft" and a "Master Craft." The winner of each challenge earns a patch. For the Faster Craft, makers have three hours to create an item. For the Master Craft, they have a longer time to create a more elaborate themed collection. At the end of every episode, one person is sent home based on their performance in the Master Craft. [3]
