TOKYO —

Veteran actor and TV personality Masaaki Sakai, 64, will celebrate the 800th episode in the TBS Saturday night cooking program “Chubo Desu Yo” on Jan 29. He will be joined by co-host and announcer Erina Masuda, 25.

Looking back on the program, Sakai said, “The cooking is the easy part. It’s more difficult drawing conversation out of our guests.” Asked if he thinks he will make it to 1,000 programs in four years, Sakai said, “I’ll try my best to stay healthy enough for it.”

    Sakai has the widest spaced eyes on Japanese tv than I have ever seen before. SOrt of a lizard or avatar kind of look.
