many people

Has anyone noticed how all the Japanese TV talk shows always have a LOT of people on them. Its not uncommon for a show to have 8 or more main panel members.. In the US we only ever have 2 or 3 at most (plus any guests).

What drives me nuts is how they always seem to have 2 or 3 that go somewhere and report back.. And during the entire report there's always a little window on the screen with one or another of the at-home panel members making ohh-ahh faces. Its really strange..
