It was announced on the 9th that model and actor Shiraishi Mai will be the assistant for "Uchimura Produce" (TV Asahi), which will be revived for one night only on September 28th and will be hosted by Uchimura Teruyoshi of "Ucchan Nanchan". During the regular broadcast period (April 2000 to September 2005), assistants included Uchimura's wife, currently a freelance announcer Tokunaga Yumi, and entertainers Yasu Megumi and Hara Fumina, but this time Shiraishi will be taking on the important role.

Additional performers were also announced, including Hikorohee, Morita Tetsuya and Higashibukuro from "Saraba Seishun no Hikari," who attended the "Cast Selection Press Conference" in August, as well as Moriyama Shintaro and Lily from "Mitorizu," Yashiki Hiromasa and Shimasawa Kazuya from "New York," Noda Crystal from "Magical Lovely," Suga Ryotaro, Mukai Satoshi, Ogata Takahiro, and Kano Eiko from "Panther," Sawabe Yu from "Haraichi," and Shiba Daisuke and Tomosige from "Moguraider."

The "comedians who watched UchiP" were just viewers when they were regulars, but after 19 years, they are now performers. Together with the 15 "comedians who appeared on UchiP" such as Ariyoshi Hiroiki, who was recently announced, a total of 30 people rushed to celebrate the 60th birthday of host Uchimura Teruyoshi, and will do their best to make people laugh.

The recording details were also revealed this time. The location was the National Stadium (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo). When Masakazu Mimura of "Samaazu" announced, "We will be filming at the National Stadium, fitting for Uchimura, who was born in the year of the Tokyo Olympics (1964)," the "comedians who appeared with Uchi-P" exclaimed, "Wow!" at the sheer scale of the opening scene. However, when Mimura said, "Let's all celebrate Uchimura's 60th birthday with a warm and relaxed mood," they relaxed and said, "Then this is an easy show." They talked about memories and updated their current situations.

Suddenly, Uchimura appeared on the large screen at the stadium, and he gave a nostalgic scolding, saying, "You guys are no good! You've been rambling on since the opening. I'm coming over there now, so wait for me!" He then appeared from an "amazing place." He started off with the same arrogant character as back then, but he also revealed his true feelings, saying, "It's been a long time, everyone! Thank you for coming. It makes me want to cry."

Assistant Shiraishi, who has been appearing on the show for many years, was teased by the two "official older brothers" of "Bananaman" who said, "We raised him," and said, "We used to watch 'Warazawase-ou' back then!"

Alongside this, "comedians who watched Uchi-P" also appeared. Panther's Mukai listed off the shows he was crazy about back then, saying, "When I was in high school, I was given the 'NO PLAN' CD for my birthday present," but the other comedians were a little put off by his passionate love for the show. A number of shows were announced that are likely to be more tense than heartwarming. The details of the shows will be announced soon.

TV Asahi's 65th anniversary program, "Celebrating! Teruyoshi Uchimura's 60th Birthday Festival: Uchimura Produced Revival SP!!," will air on the 28th at 10pm. On the 20th, one week before the broadcast of the "Revival SP," there will be an event at movie theaters nationwide to screen classic shows from the past. The event will also feature the announcement of plans for the "Revival SP," as well as special comments from the cast and a look behind the scenes. Additionally, Fuka Ryo will make a surprise appearance at the "Somewhere Theater."
