About the show

Kangsi Coming (Chinese: 康熙來了; pinyin: Kāngxī Lái Le; lit. 'Kangxi Arrives" or "Here Comes Kangxi') was a Taiwanese variety-comedy talk show hosted by Dee Hsu (a.k.a. Little S) and Kevin Tsai from 2004 to 2016, with the addition of sidekick Chen Han-dian since 2007. The show had been produced by Chungta Production (中大製作) from 2004 to 2009; after Chungta shut down, it was produced by Golden Star Entertainment (金星娛樂). The typical format of the show was for the hosting duo to interview a panel of celebrity guests on various topics while engaging in comedic banter. The show also conducted special interviews with important figures in politics and entertainment.

Although it was broadcast in Taiwan, Kangsi gained enormous popularity among the broader Chinese speaking audiences, and is considered one of the most successful talk shows in the Sinophone world.
