Notes
- Yamamoto Keiichi (山本圭壱) was replaced by fellow comedian Tsukaji Muga, with Yamamoto's career believed to be finished because of the ongoing rape allegations against him.
- Fuji TV initially planned to just archive it, but after receiving a barrage of messages from disappointed fans, they decided to postpone it until key scenes could be re-shot.
