The hour and a half long show premiered on 24 October 2013,[1] and is hosted by comedian and radio host Seifu Fantahun. Modeled after the traditional late-night talk shows of the U.S., the show incorporates the use of comedy bits, monologue jokes, musical guest performances as well as celebrity interviews.
