    This is a variety show that is usually aired around New Year’s Eve - although they sometimes have special editions at other times in the year, from memory. The guy in the suit that is half red & half white is the MC. He is supposed to represent the theme of the show - that is, there’s a white team & a red team & they’re competing for the highest score. There are judges that gauge each performance & rate them. The contestants all dress up as famous people & either impersonate them as part of a comedy act or else sing a song like them. There are some really funny acts & some are downright eerily like the person they’re impersonating. It’s a great show! Bonus that one of the Mezamashi girls was there as well…
