It’s been about a year since the first competition, which recorded the highest number of viewership* for a Prime Video original variety show and brought a breath of fresh air to the comedy world. The second installment of the “Strongest New Duo Showdown,” produced by Amazon MGM Studios to determine the pinnacle of improvisational comedy, has begun! ! *Domestic viewing figures for variety shows produced in Japan by Amazon MGM Studios within one month of release This program features talented comedians at the forefront of comedy forming one-off “original duos” to compete in the ultimate comedy survival battle to determine the best “improvisational comedy sketch.” Eight original comedy duos will compete for the 10 million yen prize, facing relentlessly difficult themes set up on a massive set worth a total of 100 million yen. The judges will be 200 members of the audience. Under the extremely harsh rules, the “least funny duo” will be eliminated at each stage, and the duo’s “overall comedic power” – such as quick thinking, improvisation, and expressiveness – will be tested, as well as the “bond between the duo.” Who will be crowned the “second golden duo”?! Information about the featured comedians and their partners, as well as the stellar guests who will toy with them with their unreasonable demands, will be announced in due course. Don’t miss the latest updates! The main MCs of this program are, of course, the two members of Chidori (Daigo and Nobu)! A hilarious teaser visual featuring the two, along with a special shot of them holding up the championship trophy, has been released for the first time! Image

Last year, a TikTok account was opened for a limited time to commemorate the program’s release, and it became a hot topic as it posted a large amount of original content that conveyed Hayashi’s passion for comedy. Following the recording of the show, comments from Chidori and Hayashi are as follows: Comment from Daigo (Chidori) “We received a lot of feedback last time saying it was entertaining. I think ‘Golden Combo’ has become a show that entertainers don’t want to be called on, but when they are, they feel happy because they know they’re being recognized. I laughed so hard this time too, and the ending was quite moving. Please look forward to it.” Nobu (Chidori) Comments “Last time, I recorded without really knowing anything, but after it was over, I was sure that a lot of people would watch it. The response was greater than I expected, and I’m happy that we’re having a second one. This time was a fierce battle again…! The comedians were incredibly passionate, and there were some thrilling moments. I felt like I saw some amazing comedy. Also, I’m truly glad I was the MC.” Comment from Nogizaka46’s Runa Hayashi “I’m so happy to be able to participate as a supporter of the program again, following on from last time! This time, I had a lot of fun and it made me laugh, but the various characters’ personalities came out in different ways, and the chemistry between the original duos is even more powerful, so please look forward to it!” *Nogizaka46 Runa Hayashi TikTok account Amazon Thomas Dubois, Head of French and Japanese Originals at MGM Studios, said: “We are extremely pleased that last year’s ‘The Golden Combo: The Battle to Determine the Strongest New Combination’ achieved the highest viewership of any Prime Video original variety show. With Chidori as the MC, this innovative program features an impromptu comedy battle between original comedy duos of talented comedians, and we hope that it will continue to bring even more laughter to Prime members.” “The Golden Combi 2025: The Battle to Determine the Strongest New Combination” Overview Title: “The Golden Combi 2025: The Battle to Determine the Strongest New Combination” Broadcast Date: Exclusively available every Friday at 8:00 PM starting November 21st (Friday) Number of Episodes: 5 Friday, November 21st: Episodes 1 & 2 (Stages 1 to 3) Friday, November 28th: ​​Episodes 3 & 4 (Stages 4 to 6) December 5th (Friday): Episode 5 (Final) Main MC: Chidori (Daigo, Nobu) Program Supporter: Runa Hayashi Copyright: (C)2025 Amazon Content Services LLC or its Affiliates.
