The Hilarious and Highly Anticipated Show: THE Golden Combination 2025

Prime Video is set to launch its original variety show, THE Golden Combination 2025, which has already gained the title of the highest viewership ever for an original Prime Video variety program. The show will be available exclusively for Prime members starting on November 21 at 8 PM JST, and will air weekly for three consecutive weeks.

In this second installment, talented comedians form original combinations for a battle seeking to crown the best improvisational skit duo. They will compete under intense, multifaceted challenges that dictate performance, showcasing their talents. A grand prize of 10 million yen awaits the victorious duo. Each episode features an escalating level of difficulty in tasks with a staggering 1 billion yen production set depicted through a myriad of sketches.

The competition follows an intense format, where the weakest combination based on audience votes will be eliminated after each performance. Eight original duos will face ruthless challenges that test their quick thinking and camaraderie, leading to a uniquely engaging experience for viewers.

Returning as the main hosts are the popular comedy duo Chidori, consisting of Daigo and Nobu. They have been a source of immense support among younger viewers with successful shows such as Aiseki Shokudo and TV Chidori. The duo promises to bring fresh and entertaining content while also showcasing a deeper bond that enriches the show’s dynamics.

Special Support from Nogizaka46

In addition to Chidori, the show welcomes back Runa Hayashi from Nogizaka46 as a supporting cast member. Runa's vibrant personality and passion for comedy have resonated with fans, making her a fitting choice to add extra flair to the proceedings. Last year's TikTok account celebrated their partnership and documented Runa’s enjoyment of the comedy genre.

DAIGO from Chidori remarked about the previous season's success, stating, “We received immense feedback, and ‘THE Golden Combination’ feels like a stage where comedians are recognized in a joyful way.” Meanwhile, Nobu expressed his excitement over the overwhelming response from viewers, stating, “This season promises another fierce battle and plenty of laughs.” Runa echoed these sentiments by sharing her eagerness to explore new comedic styles with the original combinations and the chemistry unfolding on stage.

Also, Thoma Dubois, who oversees original productions for Amazon MGM Studios in Japan and France, expressed his delight at the previous season's achievement, crediting the innovative concept and team. He anticipates more laughter and engaging chemistry in the upcoming season.
