The risk of being publicly embarrassed is one that all TV talent run when they appear on variety shows. It's part of the job. However, you are virtually guaranteed to be embarrassed on the health-related variety show "Saishu Keikaku: Takeshi no Honto wa Kowai Katei no Igaku (Final Warning: Takeshi's Truly Scary Home Medicine)" (TV Asahi, Tuesday, 8 p.m.), which is hosted by comedian Beat Takeshi.
Last week the studio was full of women celebrities who heard of frightening ailments that strike females, and during the show they had to submit to a survey regarding things like "amount of monthly discharge" and "number of sexual partners."
This week's show focuses on flatulence as a symptom of illnesses that are more serious than indigestion.
