Show

Every episode of Extravaganza will have guests, for example: Cinta Laura, Ungu, etc.

The show became successful due to its creativity and originality, a new, fresh kind of comedy show in Indonesia. This however, is 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 in the Internet and common Indonesian jokes.

Segment in Extravaganza

Some segment on Extravaganza such as:

  • Sketsa Komedi (Comedy Sketch) - Comedy story like the real-life story. Usually based on true life-story, anime, manga, Western cartoon, Indonesia fighting, folktale, or even pre-historic era.
  • Gerimis - Parody of Trans TV program Ceriwis with the tagline "Yoo...Miss..."
  • Legenda Extravaganza (Extravaganza Legend)
  • Bincang-bincang Extravaganza (Extravaganza Talk) - Talk show segment with Tike Priyatnakusumah.
  • Extranews - News segment presented by Edric Tjandra, Indra Birowo or Shogi. Edric always presented the news with perfunctory Chinese language.
  • Sinden Gosip - Infotainment segment presented by Tike and TJ which brought with Sundanese song.
  • Berpacu dengan Muladi - Music quiz parodied from TVRI program Berpacu Dalam Melodi.
  • Teka-Teki Selebritis (Celebrity Crosswords)
  • Makelar (Lima Kelip Terpopular) - Music segment which presented some Indonesian music video clip that had been parodied by the Extravaganza cast.
  • Termelet-melet - Like Gerimis, but the real-show that been parodied is the Trans TV program Termehek-Mehek.
  • Mauneh (Manusia Unik dan Aneh) - A segment that introduced people with some unique and strange look.
  • Bedak (Berdua Dalam Kamar)
