Answers:

The show you're thinking of was called "BANZAI", a game show based on various Japanese game shows. It aired on Fox for one season in the US, but ran for two outside the country. The object of the show was to bet on the games created on the show for prizes. One game was a regular feature with a woman called Lady One Question who would ask celebrities ONE question and hold the mic in their faces long after they answered the question! The object there was to bet on how long the person would talk waiting for the never asked follow-up question(s) before they finally walked away. Hilarity always ensued at the sight of a star trying to keep up a one-sided conversation! Another game in a similar vein was Mr. Shakehands Man,a jovial fellow who would shake celebrities' hands nonstop way past the point of polite comfort. The game,of course,was to guess how long it would take the person to break free from the man's neverending grip! Though it was based on actual Japanese game shows,it was condemned by the Asian community as a whole as being racist and that it depicted Asians (Japanese) in a stereotypical manner. You'd think that the controversy would've prompted FOX to produce even MORE episodes,prompting more people to watch! I mean c'mon! It's FOX!!! Anyway, I personally thought the show was silly and entertaining. And really, Isn't that what we want in our game shows?
