On October 28, it was reported that the variety show “Sake no Tsumami ni naru Hanashi” (Fuji TV) may be terminated. The “end of the show” is causing surprise among the public. According to a report in the magazine, Daigo is still a popular guest on the show, but the “end of the show” has been met with surprise. According to the magazine, it all started with an “emergency replacement” on the day of the October 24 broadcast. According to the magazine, the October 24 episode was originally scheduled to feature Daigo of the comedy duo Chidori dressed up as former MC Hitoshi Matsumoto in honor of Halloween. Although a preview video had been shown the week before, it was suddenly replaced with a rerun on the day of the broadcast. Fuji Television is said to have apologized to Yoshimoto Kogyo for the series of actions taken, but Daigo’s intention to leave the show has become firm. The news spread widely on social networking services, and fans of the program voiced their grief and doubts about Fuji Television’s handling of the situation. The report was met with a variety of comments on social networking sites, such as “It’s too unfair,” and “Unfortunately, there will be no more Downtown appearances on Fuji Television. It was the variety show “Downtown no Gottsu-eki,” which aired on the same Fuji Television network from December 1991 to November 1997. This was another variety show in which two members of Downtown appeared as the main actors and performed skits. It became a very popular program, but was abruptly terminated in 1997. The reason was that the program was replaced by a professional baseball game that was taking place on the day of the broadcast. Matsumoto was furious about it.” Later, Matsumoto confessed the truth in “Sake no Tsumami ni naru Hanashi” (A Story That Will Serve as a Tsumami for Drinking). Later, in “Sake no Tsumami-naru Hanashi,” Matsumoto confessed the truth. He revealed that it was true that the reason for the termination was the live broadcast of a professional baseball game. I wanted to get a news report, but there was none. Many fans seem to compare Daigo’s case to the “Gotttsu-eki” series. Since Daigo had replaced Matsumoto as MC, the show had continued to air with the stance of waiting for Matsumoto’s return. It is said that Fuji Television’s response this time was in consideration of the relationship with Masahiro Nakai’s alleged sexual assault scandal, but it is natural for Daigo to be angry that he is not allowed to even show his respected senior on the screen. It seems that he has lost the trust of not only the viewers but also the talent.
