Japandemonium<\/em> showcases clips from some of the most bizarre games ever featured on Japanese TV, coupled with clips from hidden-camera pranks pulled on celebrities and members of the public.<\/p>\n

Asif Zubairy, ITV\u2019s commissioning editor for comedy and entertainment, said,\u00a0\u201cJapandemonium<\/em> is a collection of some of the cleverest, funniest, oddest, most bonkers game shows ever seen outside Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andy Scott, Zig Zag Productions\u2019 head of entertainment and an executive producer on the show, added, \u201cThe Japanese are the absolute masters of epic physical game shows and completely hilarious no-holds-barred hidden-camera pranks.
