Kangxi Lai Le
Encyclopedia
KangXi Lai Le is a Taiwanese topic-based comedy talk show hosted by Dee Hsu
(徐熙娣 a.k.a. Xiao S) and Kevin Tsai
(蔡康永), both of whom worked on variety shows. It was produced by Chungta Production (中大製作) from 2004 to 2009, and currently produced by Gold Star Production (金星製作公司). It was first broadcast on 5 January 2004 and currently airs Monday to Friday at 22:00-23:00 on cable TV CTi Variety
. The hosts interview celebrities and politicians in various topics while employing their signature comedic bantering. It is broadcast in Hong Kong on ATV Home
under the name of Variety Show of Mr Con and Ms Csi.
Although it is actually broadcast in Taiwan, the show is very successful and popular with Chinese speaking
audiences across the world who watch uploaded re-runs over the internet or through bootleg
DVDs. Most of the topics in the show are considered to be taboo in Mainland China, despite its fan base.
KangXi made other Chinese talk show programs emulate the style which is more relaxed and involves personal stories, a very different path from the usual more serious and more focused style. With its variety show characteristics, KangXi is highly involved in comedic bantering between the hosts and the guests, accompanied with cartoon sound effects, on-screen visuals and animated texts.
