Mr Shakehands Man aka Tadao Tomomatsu

Who & Why?

Originally played by Tadao Tomomatsu Mr Shakehands Man is part of the cult game show Banzai.

Viewers are invited to bet or guess how long Mr Shakehands Man can shake hands with a celebrity whilst interviewing them, before the celebrity pulls their hand away.

You will stunned and amazed to learn that celebrities are so engrossed with talking aobut themselves on camera the majority don't even realise they are still shaking hands and the rest are far too polite to say anything to the quirky guy shaking their hand. The most interesting thing is that he also gets away with having the worst interviewing technique ever! asking questions in pigeon English that a professional interviewer would steer well clear of, perhaps they assume he is from a far away land and so pretend not to mind. Superb television.
