  • L'ottavo nano ("The eighth dwarf") – satirical variety, hosted by Serena Dandini, with Corrado Guzzanti (also author), his sister Sabina and Neri Marcorè. For the show, that mocks pitilessly the Italian politics and television, Corrado Guzzanti creates two of his most famous characters: Vulvia (an anchorwoman vainly trying to hide her ignorance) and the impersonation of the singer Antonello Venditti.

The show aspires to be the Italian version of the David Letterman show , mixing serious information and virulent satire (directed moreover against Silvio Berlusconi and the Catholic Church). The provocative and willingly coarse gags of Luttazzi (who, live, smells the paints of the soubrette Anna Falchi or eats chocolate in shape of excrements) arouse from the beginning controversies and charges of bad taste but it's moreover the interview by the actor to Marco Travaglio to become a political case (see over).

  • Tanti auguri Italia ("Congratulations, Italy") – show for the New Year 2002, hosted by Milly Carlucci and Massimo Lopez.
