On March 31st, Yusuke and Atsuhiro Tsuda of the comedy duo "Diane" attended a press conference for the new weekday late-night variety show "Barabara Daisakusen" (Monday to Thursday 1:58 a.m., Friday 2:26 a.m.), held at the company's headquarters (Minato Ward, Tokyo).
The show "Jaikiri Diane" (Tuesdays at 2:17 am) will be broadcast in the same time slot from late April 2nd. Diane will compete in reckless, serious matches against tough opponents who have mastered their field in sports, martial arts, competitive eating, games, etc., aiming to win.
Tsuda, who is now 48 years old, said, "I'm almost 50 and I'm being given the opportunity to host this extremely young person's segment, so I don't want to lose out in energy. I'll stay healthy for now! I'm willing to die on this program," and revealed, "I really did nearly die from the first episode (laughs)."
When the host, Tsumugi Mitani, asked, "You're full of energy today, and you're the one sweating the most," Tsuda confessed, "This isn't sweat (laughs). It's the marks from removing spots." He revealed, blushing, "I went there this morning. I didn't expect so many reporters to come (laughs)."
Also appearing at the press conference were solo comedian Minamikawa, model Kondo Chihiro, and idol group FRUITS ZIPPER.
