I SURVIVED A JAPANESE GAME SHOW!


^show's host, Tony Sano


SHOW LINK

Synopsis Provided by abc.com:

Survived A Japanese Game Show has begun shooting in Japan and will premiere TUESDAY, JUNE 24 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) on ABC. This unscripted reality/game show takes an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes look at 10 Americans - many of whom have never traveled outside the United States -- who are whisked away to Japan and compete in the ultimate Japanese game show...with hilarious results. The final winner will take home $250,000.

Guiding the American players through their stay in Japan will be Host/Interpreter Tony Sano (Spring Break in Japan, Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight), an American actor who is fluent in Japanese; a house mother and resident pot stirrer, Mamasan; and the witty Game Show Host Rome Kanda (Pink Panther, Saturday Night Live), who leads the contestants through all of the zany challenges.

The executive producers are Arthur Smith and Kent Weed (A. Smith & Co., Kitchen Nightmares, Hell's Kitchen), David Sidebotham, Karsten Bartholin and Tim Crescenti, from a concept by Babyfoot APS Denmark.

sorry can't find any other pic right now but I'm actually watching the show (commercial break) and my mom and I find it hilarious..the reactions when the American first get to their house in Tokyo is a tad offensive but a few of them admit they never set foot outside the U.S. so culture shock I suppose? Anywhoo, it's just fun to watch them compete on the wacky gameshow (Majide) biggrin.gif

I just finished watching it too!
It's great how the show focused on the cultural aspects too and not just the game.

that's the host? he looked so much older on tv
Alice asked the Cheshire Cat `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

lol I got scared when I saw this ad last night cuz i thought it'd be something like: westerners going to Japan to take part in one of those crazy variety shows when they play pain-inducing games that will bring forth hilarious results


but this seems different

- edit -
nvm....i watched the preview thingy

Wow I hate to be so political but why can't America just have a Japanese host? I'm sure there are Japanese-Americans who can speak English. They had to have a mixed host didn't they? Americans can't see a normal Asian-American on television.

its an okay show. I thought they were going to just adapt japanese game show and play them in America.
It was funny when the girl in the background just yelled "SUSHI!" when she heard she was going to japan.

Sounds interesting... HAHA!!

I can imagine that the contestants are in for a shock once they had landed in Japan >:3

I want to watch it but I'm not sure if it airs in Australia (maybe cable?).

Might just have to catch it streamed online then :/
