Can &#8220;Anjash&#8221; Ken Watabe be a &#8220;stepping stone&#8221;&#8230;
Watabe, who had refrained from performing due to a report of infidelity in June 2008, made his comeback in the variety show &#8220;Monochrome Anjash&#8221; (Chiba TV) broadcast on February 15. At the beginning of the program, Watabe appeared at the call of Kazuya Kojima.
 I would like to apologize from the bottom of my heart to all the viewers for any inconvenience caused by the really stupid thing I did.
He apologized again. In response, Kojima said
 &#8220;My emotions are all jumbled up. 
 &#8220;(Watabe) was getting carried away. 
 I hate human nature.
Both were wearing dark blue suits.

Both were wearing dark blue suits. Both were wearing dark blue suits, and seeing the heavy atmosphere that was not appropriate for a variety show, some people in the industry called it a &#8220;picture of hell.
 A picture of hell. 
 &#8220;This is impossible&#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;This is impossible&#8230;&#8221; were some of the words that spilled out.

The guests for the next episode to be aired on the 22nd were the comedy duo &#8220;The Mummy&#8221; (Yohei Hayashida and Takashi Sakai), who belong to Jinkisha and are Anjash&#8217;s juniors. Chihara Jr. commented on this in an information program broadcast on the 16th.
 The next guest is The Mummy, a junior comedian who is starting to develop a character as a &#8216;trash comedian. But the host (Watabe) is the scummiest comedian of them all.
He laughed. He continued.
 The host (Watabe) is the worst comedian. I don&#8217;t know if Watabe will ever be flat as a comedian, but it&#8217;s better to invite a comedian who can tease him like crazy. I think that&#8217;s the shortcut to getting closer to the way things have been.
I told him. You are right to point out that the hair color of Watabe&#8217;s scandal may cause junior comedians to shrink. However, on the other hand, for young comedians, &#8220;teasing Watabe&#8221; is also a chance to make a name for themselves.

For example, the aforementioned Sakai of &#8220;The Mummy&#8221; appeared as a guest on the show just before Watabe&#8217;s suspension. For example, the aforementioned &#8220;The Mummy&#8221; Sakai appeared as a guest on the show just before Watabe&#8217;s hiatus, and was dissed by Watabe as a &#8220;big disappointment.
 The Mummy&#8221; Sakai appeared as a guest on the show just before Watabe&#8217;s suspension. As a comedian, there is no better development than this. There are those who say, &#8220;Won&#8217;t Sakai shrink? But he is full of enthusiasm.
 Even though Chiba TV is a local station, it will attract the same level of attention as the key stations for some time to come. Moreover, the broadcasting code is looser than that of the national broadcasting. The Mummy&#8221; is a great chance to leave a mark.

Since the announcement of Watabe&#8217;s return, Chiba TV has reportedly received complaints from viewers. Most of them were
 Most of them were, &#8220;Why are you showing that guy?
Most of the complaints were &#8220;Why are you showing that guy!&#8221;, which once again highlighted the public&#8217;s &#8220;rejection&#8221; of Watabe. On the other hand, some young comedians said
 On the other hand, a number of young comedians said, &#8220;I want to be involved with Watabe, even though I&#8217;m prevented from doing so by my office.
On the other hand, a number of young comedians said, &#8220;I want to get involved with Watabe, even though I&#8217;ve been stopped by the office. The program is not broadcast in real time in Tokyo, but they are watching and analyzing it by any means possible.
A man who has experience as a producer at a key station said
 A man who has experience as a producer at a key station said, &#8220;If you&#8217;re from an office with good instincts, you&#8217;ll go to &#8216;Black and White Anjash&#8217; to make a pitch. If we can liven up the show, which is in a state of &#8220;wake,&#8221; it will become a hot topic.
 They don&#8217;t have to worry about taking a risk because it&#8217;s always a bad idea. Watabe should go on the show with the intention of becoming a stepping stone for the younger comedians.
He says. The only point of concern is Watabe&#8217;s pride, but as expected, he has experienced a series of scandals and knows where he stands.
 He has been told by his partner Kazuya Kojima and his wife Nozomi Sasaki that he will have to take criticism in stride.
The &#8220;return&#8221; of the Watabe taboo has brought a new wind to the comedy world. Who will cook up a tasty dish, and how will Watabe himself turn it around? Let&#8217;s see what he can do.
