On September 18th, Nippon Television held a briefing on its October schedule changes at its Shiodome, Tokyo location. It announced that the variety show "Otameshi Itte Q!" (Sundays at 10:25am) will be broadcast only from October to November. A total of eight episodes are scheduled to air starting October 6th.
"Otameshi Itte Q!" is a variety show in which seven members under the age of 29 who passed the new member audition go on training location shoots around the world in preparation for their success on "Sekai no Hate Made Itte Q!" (Sundays at 7:58pm). The trial members will take on long-term overseas location shoots, heading to the world's most uncharted regions. There will also be plenty of trial location shoots, such as a trip to Japan just for the Degawa Girls and a female comedian becoming an apprentice to Okinawan jungle expert Kiji.
Enari Shinji, head of the general programming center, said, "We hope you'll look forward to projects that you won't see in the main series and discovering new stars. In addition to the audition members, there will also be projects featuring only a small number of members who usually go on location with a large group of people, so we hope you'll enjoy those as well."
The series will be broadcast in eight episodes, but the programming after the final episode is currently being adjusted, and he commented, "We hope to continue creating new, fun programs beyond that."
