Ebichan and Close Friend Erika Karata Launch New Talk Show 'Snack Ebichan' on BS Yoshimoto Starting June 7

Ebichan from the comedy duo Marie Marie and actress Erika Karata, who are close friends in real life, will host a new talk show titled 'Snack Ebichan: Healing Tipsy Bar - Regular Customer Erika Karata.' The program will air on BS Yoshimoto for two consecutive weeks starting Sunday, June 7, at 10:00 PM.

### Comedian Ebichan as the Hostess, Erika Karata as the Regular Set in a cozy snack bar in Tokyo, the show features Ebichan as the hospitable 'hostess' and Erika Karata as the regular customer who always seems to be there. Together, they invite various comedian guests for informal, drinks-in-hand conversations.

The premiere kicks off with a spirited 'Cheers!' from the duo. While sipping their drinks, they discuss their first meeting and subsequent friendship. They became close during the production of the Netflix series 'The Queen of Villains,' seeing each other daily. The episode includes stories from their audition days and behind-the-scenes anecdotes, including how they were once scolded by a producer for being too friendly, offering viewers a glimpse into their real-life camaraderie.

### Instant Chemistry with Guest Nake Nagisa The first guest is Nake Nagisa. Despite meeting Karata for the first time, the conversation flows effortlessly. When Nagisa asks about their usual drinking spots, Karata and Ebichan reveal surprising locations, leading to a sharp retort from Nagisa: 'An actress shouldn't be going to such places!' sparking laughter from everyone.

In the second half of the program, fortune-telling comedian Kinjo Mekuru-kun appears as a wandering diviner. Using tarot cards, he reads the futures of Nagisa, Ebichan, and Karata, creating a relaxed yet honest atmosphere unique to a snack bar setting. 'This show is filled with the kind of talk you only hear in a bar,' says Ebichan. Fans can look forward to seeing the authentic, unvarnished expressions of the stars as they laugh and drink together.
