Variety Show
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. It is normally introduced by a compère (master of ceremonies) or host. The variety format made its way from the Victorian era stage in Britain and America to radio and then television. Variety shows were a staple of English language television from the late 1940s into the 1980s. While the format is still widespread in some parts of the world, such as in the United Kingdom with the '' Royal Variety Performance'', the Philippines with ''Eat Bulaga!'' and '' It's Showtime'', and South Korea with '' Running Man'', the proliferation of multichannel television and evolving viewer tastes have affected the popularity of variety shows in the United States.

Happy Sunday
''Happy Sunday'' () is a Korean reality-variety show shown on the KBS2 network, which competes directly against MBC's '' Sunday Night'' and SBS's '' Good Sunday'' line-up.

At that time, three new shows were introduced – ''Are You Ready'', ''High-Five'', and ''Immortal Songs''.

In late November 2008, ''Happy Sunday'' had a revamp of its shows keeping '' 1 Night 2 Days'' as the second segment and bringing back ''Immortal Songs'' which was previously liked by viewers.

In 2013, ''Qualifications of Men'' was cancelled and replaced with ''Star Family Sho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
