Variety Big Brother (traditional Chinese: 綜藝大哥大; simplified Chinese: 综艺大哥大; pinyin: zōngyì dàgēdà) is a television show hosted by Chang Fei, a.k.a. Fei Ge, which screens on Taiwanese channel China Television on Saturdays. It is representative of the format and style common to Taiwanese comedy-variety shows, using sketches, performances, songs, and jokes relating to Taiwan and celebrities. Every week the show has celebrity guests and performers from Taiwan and/or abroad.
Chang's brother, Fei Yu Ching, a well-known classical singer, is a frequent guest.
Co-host Ni Min Jan failed to appear in several shows, and it was later revealed he had committed suicide after learning his wife had allegedly had an affair.[1][2]
It is shown in the United States on the San Francisco Bay Area-based television station KTSF, which shows much Chinese-language programming for the area, under the English translation Big Brother of Entertainment, the literal translation of the Chinese title.[3]
