One of my favorite language learning methods is to watch variety/talk shows in the target language. I am here to ask for recommendations of french variety or talk shows and where I can watch them. In learning Japanese I have been able to find an abundance of enjoyable material through youtube and various torrents, so I'm hoping to find a similar thing for French.
My preference is for shows that are humorous and for those that have some relation to music. To give a better idea of what I'm hoping for (for those familiar with japanese tv), I'll list some of my favorite japanese shows with a short description of each: Utaban- the hosts interview and joke with musical artists, there is usually a musical performance at some point(this show is now cancelled) Hey!x3- famous comic duo hosts music variety show doumoto kyoudai-popular japanese band interviews guests in various segments, they usually collaborate with the guest for a musical performance at some point. gaki no tsukai- famous comic duo along with supporting comedians compete in various games, the loser(s) are subjected to some sort of punishment bakusho sokkuri monomane- (this is actually a special rather than a regular show) people compete by performing impersonations of celebrities 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hey, I'm learning French and Japanese as well!
You have a good taste in languages. What methods are you using to learn French? Sorry for the off topic question. Edited by travisv10 on 13 November 2011 at 5:49am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

I used Assimil, but in general I like to expose myself to the language being used in native media as quickly as possible. I'm not completely active in my study of French right now, I just listen to music and watch some tv and movie dubs here and there, which is why I'm here looking for recommendations on things to watch so I can begin to immerse myself more fully.

Bit of a late response but... Le Grand Journal might fit the bill.
http://www.canalplus.fr/c-divertissement/pid3349-c-le-grand- journal.html The official page probably won't be accessible outside of Europe (it isn't accessible for me), but you can find lots of clips on youtube. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The French seem to love their variety and talk shows - maybe more than their political
shows. One that I can think of is Vivement Dimanche. Just go to French TV channel web sites to check out their programming. Look for shows listed under "Divertissement" and "Magazine" such as here: http://www.tf1.fr/divertissement/ or http://programmes.france2.fr/ As Eagle32 said a lot of this content won't be available outside of France (though sometimes clips will be viewable) so you'll have to be resourceful. TV5 Monde airs Vivement Dimanche. 1 person has voted this message useful |
