Yeah, I´ve seen them occasionally. It´s funny, my neighbor tells me their culture doesn´t have "jokes" as we understand them, although they enjoy funny stories like everyone else. But when you see these shows, they´re full of gags and antics and pranks... I love them.

For some reason, I am always astonished at how silly the Japanese can get.  Personally, I love it!

I´ve got a Japanese neighbor and she´s a fun lady also!

Just to clarify: I mean that in the sense that Japanese interviewers are very imaginative and funny... hope no one gets offended.
