Much of the show's comedy is often based on South Dakota topics, such as the abortion ban, gun control, and home schooling. A number of sketches appear on the show regularly, including Booby Boobenheimer, Harry Back, and Ag East of Salem. Other sketches are parodies of well known television programs, such as Antiques Roadshow. The show also lampoons local political figures, including Dave Munson and Vernon Brown.
The Caribou Show is written and directed by the show's creator, Todd Magnuson. The cast includes Terri Lawrenz, John "Barnie" Barnes, Chuck Brennan, Amanda Bumann, Dan Eisenhauer, Todd Magnuson, Bart Naasz, T-Roy Neilson, Scott Pederson, and Brian "Ring a Ding" Dingler. Model Terri Lawrenz is the most recent addition to the cast. The show is owned and copyrighted by Caribou Productions.
Currently the Caribou Show is seen locally, and skits are updated on the website www.cariboushow.com. But soon, the show plans to expand to other markets.
