On January 7, 2016, it was announced that the show had been picked up for 14 additional episodes of Season 1 to air starting on August 23, 2016. The series aims to shine light on popular false impressions and trends, debunking false ideas that pervade American society.

In Canada the series premiered on January 12, 2017 on Much. The series is also broadcast on SBS Viceland in Australia.
Adam Ruins Everything is based on a CollegeHumor web series of the same name, and stars comedian Adam Conover (who was also the star of the CollegeHumor series) as the host. In the show, Conover debunks misconceptions with what the show calls "annoying facts", backing up his points by lecturing the audience, appearing in skits, interviewing experts, and citing references on-screen. Conover usually does so in a cheery and matter of fact fashion, often annoying or upsetting those he is trying to inform, yet he retains his cheery demeanor, even at the threat of physical violence.
These actors don't play any starring roles, but act as visual aids for Adam's topic.
Adam reveals the truth about various football-related topics. These include the NFL Playoffs, the supposed dangers and exaggerated fear of dehydration, and concussions. At the end of the episode, Adam's sister makes a guest appearance.
Adam and Emily make a trip to the mall. There Adam explains the origin of the modern enclosed shopping mall, the real difference between "outlet" and normal clothing stores, and the largely-unregulated supplement market. Emily in turn explains the near-stranglehold Luxottica has on branded glasses frames and the stores that sell them. Adam's sister makes appearances at the beginning and end of the episode.
In this episode, Adam talks about how buying a house is worse than renting one, how Airbnb enables crooks to run illegal hotels, and how building houses for homeless people can actually save money.
