Gilgamesh Night


Gilgamesh Night was a Japanese softcore porn variety TV show broadcast from October 1991 to March 1998. Airing early Sunday mornings at 1:15 a.m. Japan [Standard Time|JST] on TV Tokyo, the hour-long show helped launch the career of one of its late hosts, Ai Iijima, who afterwards moved into a more mainstream career.

Description

Gilgamesh was a long-running example of the late-night sexy programming popular on Japanese television.
The show was in the format of a variety show. Segments included "Yashoku Banzai", a cooking corner with Yuuki Hitomi wearing just an apron; shiatsu with Jeff Furukawa; "Bathtub Cinema", in which a nude young woman in a bathtub reviewed a current film; and "No-Panty Pub Report", in which the television crew would visit a Tokyo bar featuring waitresses without undergarments.
