Story and premise
Banzai was a comedy gambling game show spoofing Japanese game shows and general television style. It was produced by Radar, part of RDF Media. Each segment of the show was a silly or bizarre contest. Members of the viewing audience were encouraged to bet with each other on the outcome of each segment. The Japanese characters seen on screen during the programme are meaningless.
