Popular entertainers will come together to present their own selected precious videos on "Entertainment World's Uke Treasure Video Grand Prix - 30 Amazing Consecutive Moments When Comedians Asked," which will be broadcast on Fuji TV's "Saturday Premium" slot (Saturday 9pm) on April 26th. This is the second installment following "Entertainment World's Uketakara Kette Video Grand Prix," which was broadcast in January last year, and the comedian duo Cream Stew's Ueda Shinya will serve as MC, and Arita Teppei will serve as chairman of the judging panel.
The nine studio guests who will be livening up the show are actor Nao Asahi, talent Hikaru Ijuin, comedian Kayoko Okubo from the comedy duo "Oasiz", freelance announcer Aika Kanda, comedians Kanningu Takeyama, Hitori Gekidan, Haruna Kondo from the comedy duo "Harisenbon", Eiji Shibata from "Untouchable", and Atsuhiro Tsuda from "Diane". In addition, Ryuji Akiyama from the comedy trio "Robert" and talent Miyuki Imori will also be appearing via video.
Gekidan Hitori will be introducing a short drama from "Omokuri Director ~O-Creator's TV show~" (2014), which he directed, wrote and starred in, which was also introduced in the first installment. The story he will be introducing this time is themed around "travel" and depicts the tragicomedy of young people who are overjoyed on their first trip to Okinawa. Gekidan Hitori confidently explains that "among all the 'Omokuri Director' works, I chose this one, which ends with the best expression on my face," so what is the final scene?
Okubo-san will introduce the moment when he appeared on the 2013 and 2014 comedian Ogiri King Championship "IPPON Grand Prix" and won the "IPPON". As a bonus video, we will also deliver a collection of Kanningu Takeyama-san's strange answers that "were not funny at all" from "IPPON Grand Prix".
Actor Katsumi Takahashi, who will appear as a VTR guest, cites "Protector Shinzo Uchida," a spin-off of the drama series "Bayside Shakedown," in which he starred, as his "most popular moment." This short drama was produced as a highlight project for "Fountain of Trivia SP," which aired in 2007, and will be broadcast in its entirety for the first time in 18 years.
Other hilarious footage will include footage from the talent show that helped MC Ueda establish his working style, Kondo's "best collection of 'It's not ____'", Shibata's "high-speed aerial tsukkomi" that was unleashed on location in Dubai, and an "accident that was only broadcast in these laid-back times" that happened on a late-night show that Ijuin appeared on, among many other hilarious footage.
