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

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
