Extravaganza is a two-hour comedy variety show taped in Jakarta, Indonesia, which has been broadcast by Trans TV on Saturday and Monday night since its debut on May 30, 2004 until November 28, 2009. At the time, it was the most popular comedy variety show in Indonesia.
It also stars four finalists of Kampus Extravaganza, a show to find new characters ('extras') for Extravaganza. They are T.J., Sentot* now known as (Papham Ashari), Ananda Omesh and Ammho*. There are also newer members, like Cathy Sharon and Luna Maya
Notes: *(*)No longer starred in Extravaganza
Every episode of Extravaganza had guests, such as Cinta Laura, Ungu, etc.
The show became successful due to its creativity and originality, a new, fresh kind of comedy show in Indonesia. This is however, debatable since the format of the show appeared to be strongly based on foreign comedy shows, most prominently the American Saturday Night Live (SNL). Most of the comedic scenario the show used was based (sometimes even almost identical, word for word) on jokes circulating on the Internet and common Indonesian jokes.
