Banzai: Mr. Shake Hands Man 2 - Jackie Collins

Taking the form of an outrageous, comedic, game show Banzai spoofs the goofy nature of Japanese reality television. Each segment of the show features a ridiculous contest with two contestants where the audience is encouraged to bet on who the winner will be (no actual betting occurs). The show’s MC, Mr. Banzai (opera singer Masashi Fujimoto), never really speaks any coherent lines of dialogue, but rather, opts to shout “Banzai!” at every available moment. The show is filled with twists, surprises, and a level of irreverence that will grab the attention of even the most jaded of audiences.
