comedians and tarento
. Since 2007, a number of music subgroups have formed that have released singles; among the most popular of these have been Shuchishin
and Pabo.
During each episode, three teams (the membership of which is determined based on a paper quiz show participants take prior to each episode) compete for points in various quizzes, testing team members' knowledge on a variety of topics.
Recently, it has become a common occurrence for the ratings to rise in the last 10% of the show (last 20% of a special), and there have also been times when the show surpasses the competing program . Also, around the times of reorganization and in exceptional instances, the production of 2-3 hour specials has become common, but recently even in times of reorganization the production of regular shows also occurs.
On January 2, 2008, from 19:00 - 21:54 JST, it was broadcast as the replacement for the year-end special program that had run on January 2 from 2001-2007 (with a New Year's show in 2005 and a special show in 2005) but had ended regular production. (The same occurred in 2009).
The show's best ratings were on September 3, 2008, when it receive 23.5% in the Kantō region
(Fuji TV). In the Kansai region (Kansai TV), the August 1, 2008 2-hour special had a rating of 29.6%. (According to Video Research, Ltd.)
According to the Children & Media Opinion Poll sponsored by the Japanese National PTA Convention, under the category of "Programs Parents Do Not Want to Show Their Children" it ranked 6th in 2009, having been 7th in 2008, but on the other hand it was ranked 8th in the category "Programs to Show Children."
In the early stages of the program, people like Shin Koda, Akane Osawa, and Saki Fukuda
became semi-regulars, and within the program they were dealt with as "O-baka," but beginning around the time of September 2006, when Mai Satoda
became a semi-regular, the situation changed. She did not once beat the other regular guests in the preliminary test and came to monopolize the lowest ranking, and the "Obaka tarento" who had appeared to this point little by little stopped being treated as "Baka." Due to this, from all around the image of "Last Place = Satoda" became strong and it often became joke material. However, in 2007 guests at the same level or worse than Satoda - such as Takeshi Tsuruno
, Yukina Kinoshita, Suzanne, Yusuke Kamiji
, and Naoki Nokubo - became semi-regulars, and Satoda's monopolized status was reduced. From there, the six people - joined with Satoda - were called the "6-man Baka Group," and became featured performers on the show. In 2007, the CD debuts of the three women, as Pabo, and the three men, as Shuchishin
(when together, the six-person group was called aladdin), were huge hits. Currently, they have moved from semi-regulars to become regulars, and have become popular tarento, become regulars on other shows as well.
In 2008, the popularity of misono
, who was at the same level as the other six, rose when she became a semi-regular. She appeared as a guest on various shows, and the song , released in June, entered into the top 10, her first since her debut as a solo artist.
Beginning in the latter half of 2008, a number of popular performers with low test scores (referred to by Shinsuke as "High-Popularity Baka") have become semi-regulars: beginning in June 2008, Akina Minami
; in October 2008, Mari Yaguchi
; in 2009, Daisuke Motoki; in April 2009, Shintaro Yamada
; in June 2009, Nozomi Tsuji
. There are also other regularly appearing "O-baka tarento," such as former professional boxer Yoko Gushiken
who has an all-time average of 4 points (out of a possible 50) in the qualifying paper test.
In the early parts of 2008, there was the rule "In the case of sudden death, the quiz would take place at the pool used for the Action Quiz," but eventually as it did not reach sudden death, the action quiz was ended and not used after all.
