I read last week that Japan has their own SNL, but I just freaked out a little watching their opening sequence. It looks like a complete spoof. They have an American announcer (could be Don Pardo), the same song, but instead have Japanese actors.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    For some reason, I’m suddenly thirsty for a COCA-COLA.

    Lol! There are times that I wish I didn’t. This promo is kind of embarrassing to be honest. The first host, Akashiya, tries to say “Saturday Night Live” in the worst English accent I’ve heard in a long time. And after the intro, the three hosts talk do their “yoroshiku onegai shimasu” song and dance. I love living in Japan but Japanese TV is vile. x.x
