In April 2006, ''Wazzup Wazzup'' was reformatted with the new set including a News Desk and a Stage instead of a Coffee Shop (e.g. Gloria Jean's Coffees) and/or a Juice Bar.

One form uses satirical commentary and sketch comedy to comment on real-world events, while the other presents wholly fictionalized news stories.
