Masanori Hamada’s proposed replacement for “Matsumo to Nakai” may not be realized… “Deep reasons” other than “disagreement with Fuji”.

Hamada’s distrust of Fuji Television seemed to be considerable, and the following year, when “FNS 27 Hour TV” was broadcast, Downtown and other members of the legendary variety show “Downtown no Gottsu-eki” including Koji Imada and Koji Higashino gathered together, but Hamada was absent. Hamada is said to have a deep-rooted distrust of Fuji Television because of this, but is there really any chance that he would accept an offer to fill in for him?

In his radio program “Gobugobu Radio,” Hamada said, “There is no one to replace him, so until he comes back, I will do my best to do what I can. For Mr. Matsumoto’s sake, he would easily repair his relationship with Fuji Television.

However, I think what Mr. Hamada is saying is that he means ‘protecting Downtown,’ and not that he will do Mr. Matsumoto’s crown show in his place. I can’t take over his show while he’s gone,” he said. I don’t think Hamada would take over as MC, even as a stand-in.

A Fuji Television official added, “Considering Hamada-san’s character, I don’t think he would take over as MC,

A Fuji Television official also said, “Considering Mr. Hamada’s personality, it is hard to imagine Mr. Matsumoto taking over as a stand-in for a pin TV show.

“Even if Fuji Television were to offer Mr. Hamada an opportunity to appear on ‘Dareka to Nakai,’ it would only be as a guest, and it is unlikely that they would offer him the role of MC.”

It would be interesting to see Hamada and Masahiro Nakai side by side as MCs, but it seems highly unlikely.
