{{Nihongo|''Tetsuko's Room''|徹子の部屋|Tetsuko no Heya}} is a talk show hosted by [[Tetsuko Kuroyanagi]] and broadcast on [[TV Asahi]] from February 2, 1976, every Monday to Friday from 13:00 to 13:30 ([[Japan Standard Time|JST]]). It is a long-lived program, and as of 2022, it has been broadcast for 46 years and more than 11,000 times, repeatedly winning [[Guinness World Records]]. Other talk shows include [[Nichiyō Tōron]] (1994 onwards), [[Ametalk!]] (2003 onwards) and [[Takeda Tetsuya no Shōwa wa kagayaiteita]] (2013 onwards).

In [[Japan]], panel shows called ''tōku bangumi'' (トーク番組) are very commonplace, accounting for about 30% of daytime and prime-time programming on the four main television stations. Due to language and cultural differences, Japanese TV stations could not freely use syndicated programs (mostly from Europe and North America) and therefore turned to [[panel game|panel shows]], which could be produced cheaply and easily, to fill time during daytime programming.

Japanese panel shows are distinct in generally not employing regular panelists but instead having a panel made up of different freelance comedians and celebrities each program, although the program is generally hosted by the same [[compere (host)|compere]]. Talk shows evolved in tandem with the [[Japanese variety show]] and it is very common for talk shows to borrow variety elements, typically by having celebrity guests attempt some kind of amusingly incongruous activity. Often, one of the guests will be a ''[[gaijin tarento]]'' (foreign talent) in order to provide comedy or to comment on matters related to Western culture. Comedic material is commonly written and rehearsed before tapings with or [[laugh track|without a live audience]].

===South Korea and Taiwan===
Korean and Taiwanese talk shows have used the panel format similar to Japanese programs and rely on famous celebrities and comedic banter than topics. Their programs often shorten interviews from lengthy tapings.

===Brazil===
In [[Brazil]], [[Jô Soares]] inaugurated the genre with Jô Soares Onze e Meia ("Jô Soares Eleven Thirty") from 1988 to 1999 on [[Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão|SBT]]. In 2000, Soares took his show's format to [[TV Globo]], where it was then called [[Programa do Jô]], and was broadcast until 2016. Jô's main competitors at the time were [[Danilo Gentili]] and [[Fábio Porchat]].

=== China ===
In 1999, ''Speak Up'', hosted by [[Ma Dong]], son of the famous Chinese comedian [[Ma Ji]], was born as an early talk show "chatting" about a variety of sharp topics related to people's livelihoods, the state system, and power structures. The show was eventually taken off the air as a direct result of the last episode of "Approaching Homosexuality."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tone |first=Sixth |date=May 28, 2020 |title=Where Are All the Chinese Talk Shows? |url=https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1005616/where-are-all-the-chinese-talk-shows |access-date=2022-11-13 |website=#SixthTone |language=en}}</ref>
