Variety Shows
A list of variety shows and their main cast members.
NOTE: For the purpose of this list, the line of distinction between variety shows, game shows, talent shows, and talk shows will be blurred.
Though the genres are not the same, there are enough similarities for me to feel comfortable listing them together.
If you would like to know which category a certain program belongs in, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know.
