HoTRoD 2 Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Anyone know any of them regulars that were on that program? I kinda miss that program (didn't think I would, but it was addictive in its own way). Link to post Share on other sites

nori-chan 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 But I think not so good image for foreigner on it. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I was on it twice, but you can't call me a regular. I sometimes see some of the poeple aorund here and there in Tokyo. Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 How did you get on it mogski, and what was it like? Really staged or what? Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 A freind of mine was doing it and they put on a program on the Olympics where the Judo dude from Japan lost his gold medal bout to the French. The umpire of this match was a Kiwi and they wanted Kiwis to express their opinion. I never said a damn word as the Japanese guests said the whole thing. The other one (they film two episodes in one day) was about cruelty to animals or something simialr. How was it? About the same as wworking in a coal mine I would guess. Noisy, smokey, poorly paid and genreally just unpleasant. I was acutally embarassed to be on the damn thing. Cheap arses. Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 How much you get? Talk to Rikako? Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I think I got about 1man per episode. BUT, the Saturday prior to shootin gon Sunday you spend 8 hours going through a rehersal at the TBS building listening to prats make stupd arguements so they can get asked to speak by Takeshi or get their comment used in the program. Then on Sunday you hike all the way out to Choufu ro somewhere(forget where) to the studio at 10am and don't get home until midnight cause each 1 hour progrma requires 6 hours or so of filming. Plus you have to listen to dribble half hte time from all those budding starlets. Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Mogski.....i have to take issue with your coal mine analogy. Definitely not porly paid Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Wouldn't you know it...even the oppressive banality of Japanese TV requires 6 hours of prep for only 1 hour of "payoff". Reminds me of where I used to work. Never have so many idle hands expended so much time and energy pretending to do lord knows what and failing at even that. Notice I didn't even say "pretending to be busy", because they couldn't even imagine what "busy" really is, and so couldn't pretend to be it. Link to post Share on other sites
