I remember Banzai...

...Mr. Shake Hands Man who maintained a handshake with a people for as long as possible. He was later replaced when he became too well known with Mr. Shake Hands Man 2 (played by Japanese-American actor Tadao Tomomatsu), who did the same thing however his role was mainly with celebrities.

There was also Lady One Question played by non-professional Shizuka Hata, who posed as a celebrity reporter, asked a single interview question and then stared silently at the interviewee. In both of these segments, viewers were invited to bet on how long it took the celebrity to put a stop to the ruse.

I have not seen these pieces, but would thoroughly enjoy watching them. How does the Dos XX ad go, he has never been embarassed except once...he wanted to know how it felt. “I don’t drink beer often. But when I do, I drink Dos XXs. Stay thirsty my friends”.
