Ciao Darwin
''Ciao Darwin'' is a variety game show format created and hosted by Paolo Bonolis (Stefano Magnaghi is the co-creator), and produced by the Italian mass media company Mediaset. There are two competing teams of 50 people each, usually made up of people who fit certain opposing stereotypes. In each game two members of the audience are selected at random, one from each team, indicated by a light in front of them which remains illuminated when all the other team members' lights have gone off. The games involve contestants competing in acts of skill, intelligence and general knowledge, with deliberately ridiculous results, trying to mimic the mechanism of natural selection theorized by Charles Darwin. Some of the games are designed to humiliate the contestants, especially an assault course which was introduced with the Italian version in 2010, and the Finale which is a water tank game. At each round a score by a vote in the studio by the audience consisting of 300 people. The sum of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Variety Television
Variety show, also known as variety arts or variety entertainment, is entertainment made up of a variety of acts including musical performances, sketch comedy, magic, acrobatics, juggling, and ventriloquism.

Despite this, their influence has still had a major effect on late night television whose late-night talk shows and NBC's variety series ''Saturday Night Live'' (which originally premiered in 1975) ha ...
