SUPREME FUN!!

By: Seto Kit Yan

A three-year hiatus, Hong Kong TVB’s most popular and long-running game show Super Trio is back to thrill fans and sporting a new name – Super Trio Supreme.

What a roller coaster of excitement it was to be flying to Hong Kong to meet TVB game show hosts for the first ever cross-over collaboration between TVB and Astro.

First introduced in 1995, the TVB produced series, Super Trio, was so popular that it lasted a decade. Veteran Hong Kong entertainer Eric Tsang Chi Wai was the main host, assisted by Jerry Lamb Hiu Fung and Jordan Chan Siu Chun, who was later replaced by Chin Ka Lok.

After six seasons, the show bowed out on July 16, 2005. Now back due to popular demand, the hilarious game show which is now called Super Trio Supreme, features Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Chin Ka Lok, Louis Yuen Siu Cheung and Wong Cho Lam as hosts.

Astro’s Malaysian artistes from the station’s various reality shows – Hew Wan Ting, Cleo Tay Chin Teng and Crystal Wong Lynn Pei – were also in Hong Kong’s TVB City to participate in the shooting of the first episode of the game show. StarTwo was also present.

Astro hosts presented souvenirs to the four hosts and offered Tsang a piece of durian dodol, which formed part of the Malaysian giftpack. He took just a bite and immediately ran out of the studio.

When the media caught up with him later, he revealed: “I don’t eat durian but I figured candy would be fine. But, it turned out to be even worse. The moment I put it into my mouth,I felt like the powerful essence of durian had invaded all my senses.”

Recovering his composure, Tsang said: “Now that we’re bringing back the show and doing this crossover in Malaysia, it will be a big and happy show for everyone to enjoy.” Chin who was in Malaysia for two months last year to choreograph the stunts for the country’s first martial arts flick Kinta 1881, remarked: “I had a very enjoyable time in Kampar and I’m glad to be going to Malaysia to shoot Super Trio Supreme there.”
Yuen, a new addition to the show, added: “There are lots of new games and they are going to be even more fun and exciting, especially the one called Hole in the Wall.”

Wong, who will also be hosting the show for the first time, said: “I grew up watching Eric Tsang hosting the Super Trio series and I still cannot get over the fact that I will be hosting alongside my idol.”

Gracing the show are celebrity guests Miu Kiu Wai, Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Charmaine Sheh Sze Man, Krystal Tin Yui Nei, Johnny Tang Siu Chuen and Mui Siu Wai. Astro’s celebrity guests Hew, Tay and Wong, who would be co-hosting the show when it comes to Malaysia, also took part in some of the games.

Apart from introducing the reputable Japanese game named Hole in the Wall (that requires participants to pose according to the shape of the hole), Super Trio Supreme also showcases creative games like Hold Me Tight, Tweezers, Kissing Cards, Balance Beam, Hitch On and Creamy Face.

With 26 episodes planned for the series, the Hong Kong hosts and crew will be collaborating with Astro’s hosts in Malaysia next month.

“In light of the new season of the popular game show, we will be working with Astro and our preliminary plan is to produce four episodes in different states in Malaysia.

“The production of the game show shall implement much local flavour by inviting Malaysian artistes to participate,” said TVBI’s Telecast Licensing Division Controller Sherman Lee.

Super Trio Supreme will air in Hong Kong on TVB Jade every Sunday starting March 30 and premiere on Astro Wah Lai Toi (Channel 311) at 9pm on Saturdays starting April 5.

Stephen Chan: Rumors about Uncle Six's Health Only Annoys and Worries

There was news of "Uncle Six", Sir Run Run Shaw, being rushed to the hospital earlier. But according to Stephen Chan, the general manager of TVB, he was only in for an annual check up. But Uncle Six hadn't appeared publicly ever since, causing a lot of wild speculations from the outside. Last night there was a rumor that Uncle Six's illness had a change, and there was even a large group of reporters waiting outside at the hospital he was staying at in Kowloon City. Yesterday, Stephen Chan on the taping of his show "Be My Guest" , was asked regarding Mr. Shaw's health, he honestly replied that he hadn't asked whether Mr. Shaw had checked out yet. But he turned and said "He had probably left! Lately there's always a bunch of reporters waiting outside the hospital every single day, but they couldn't film anything, so he probably checked out already!" Did you visit him? Stephen Chan replies "Last night there was a rumor that his illness changed, but he was only in for his annual examination, so there's no need for visit!" He pointed out that these rumors will only annoy and worry people.
Yesterday Stephen Chan had invited Teresa Carpio onto his show "Be My Guest" for an interview, giving Teresa a jar of ancient "salt mandarins" made in 1971 as well as an ear cleaning machine, allowing her to take care of her voice as well as being able to hear her pupils sing.

bittersweet: Oh gosh, it's just so like the reporters to turn nothing into something. Uncle Six only went in for a check up and they make it sound like he was on the death bed. T_____T"

Charmaine Sheh is willing to develop her career in Mainland.

Charmaine Sheh's character in [Glittering Days] was transformed from a simple villager to a super singer in the series. And the most surprising fact is that all songs are sung by Charmaine herself. One of the tracks; a Russian song was even learned from listening in the car. "Singing Russian song with lisp is extremely difficult. They want me to sing in Russian, but I don't know the language so they just passed me a CD saying: 'Just listen and sing'. I don't even have a teacher, so I'll just have to learn by myself. I have to film series day and night, so how am I going to find a teacher? I barely have enough time for shower! I can only listen to the song on the car, for a few days! They wrote down the lyrics in Cantonese pinyin, therefore it sounded like Russian!"

Afterward, Charmaine chatted with online fans and expressed her wish to develop her career in mainland. She wish to film one mainland series per year.

Charmaine Sheh called "Number 1 Mo Lai" in Super Trio Show


TVB Show "Super Trio" has launched its new season called 《鐵甲無敵獎門人》. Yesterday the first episode was recorded, besides the 4 hosts, Eric Tsang, Chin Ka Lok, Louis Yuen and Wong Cho Lam, the guests includes Michael Miu, Charmaine Sheh, Bosco Wong, Kristal Tin, Cutie Miu, Johnny Tang and Malaysian artistes Tiffany Yau (丘涴鋌), 鄭婧婷 and 王翎蓓. This time Eric not only plays the guests, but took Charmaine's rumors and made jokes. As for Michael and Miss Malaysia when using their mouths to pass things, they accidently touched. Besides them was Bosco who could not help but to remind Michael to be careful of the other party.

Playing Charmaine's old rumored boyfriend.

Last night when Ah Sheh came on stage, she was chased by Eric asking her questions regarding if she went to find the "pilgrim monk of the four priests" from the Tang Dynasty, in particular "Ma Lau Jing" (Benny Chan), Ah Sheh laughs and says she didn't, that happened very long ago. Eric also spreads that she's qualified for the love games. Last night, he says to her that he believes she will not have problems playing those love games and will not be challenging for her. Eric also played Chin Ka Lok, but when he mentioned Li San San, Ka Lok immediately said out loud: "Don't mention it!"

When playing game #1, Cho Lam and Eric demostrated. Cho Lam was to jump on top of Eric's big thigh, maybe because their heights were about the same, Cho Lam's important part was facing Eric's leg, Eric laughs: "So Smelly!" Eric invited Ah Sheh's mom, who was in the audience, to join them on stage for the game. Eric laughs at her that she's "Sheh Dai Kwan", Sheh Mommy had to sit on Michael's thigh, causing her to scream in fear.


Last night Eric especially arranged Bosco and Michael to be in a team with the 3 pretty Malaysian girls. They had to pass the plastic to each teammate with their mouths, Michael kissed the Malaysian girl twice. Afterwards Johnny Tang, Cutie Mui and Tin Yui Nei were on one team, Johnny almost mouthed Charmaine in her chest area. Michael immediately explains that why would they have feelings, because they were so focused on the passing, did not notice about other things. Asked if he's afraid that his wife would be mad? He says she won't and only playing a game. He laughs he's not as good as Johnny, almost touched Charmaine's chest and being so happy. Johnny then counters attack Michael saying that Michael also played hard, he says that whether win or lose is not important. The two of them both counter-
attack back and forth, extremely funny atmosphere. As for Ah Sheh, she says that she did not notice Johnny kissing into her chest because a the time she was only paying attention to passing the plastic along. She says that before when she played ping pong ball, also came across this situation. She feels that the most important is to have good sportsmenship.

Eric Tsang says Sei Gaan Gwai
The last game is 「鐵甲無敵大咕窿」 which was introduced from Japan. Each person has to change into a silver outfit, after getting wet, they revealed true colors. The 3 female guests specially wore black under clothes to avoid being revealed. Each person had to be suspended on a human cardboard, if they fail, they would fall into a pool of water. Once Michael and Johnny got wet, they revealed their true colors. Ah Sheh most fear is going into water, in the end she pulled a sneaky trick, so she didn't have to go into water. Eric laughs at her saying she's so evil! (Sei Gaan Gwai), Wong Cho Lam also laughs at Ah Sheh saying she's the number one Mo Lai.
