What happens

Tamori Club (タモリ倶楽部, Tamori Kurabu; full title: Tamori Club: for the sophisticated people) was a late-night variety program hosted by comedian Kazuyoshi Morita, better known as Tamori. It was broadcast in Japan on the TV Asahi network. It aired from 8 October 1982 to 1 April 2023, and is one of the longest-running programs in Japan. This program deals with social phenomena from original, maniac viewpoints. Due to its "low budget" (not really true, but a running joke on the show), it has no stage sets, and almost all of the shooting is done on location. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
