Nogizakatte, Doko? ( 乃木坂って、どこ?)
This is Nogizaka46's Vairety TV show (NogiDoko in short) usually featuring the members' Senbatsu Selections, Skits, Games, Competitions, Day Out/On-location Filming, Cosplay/Dokkiri Events, Talks, Singing, TV Performance, Experiences, Hit Single/PR Campaigns and several other segments spanning across their first 11 Single releases. 
This TV show hosted by the Bananaman (comedy duo formed in 1993), Osamu Shitara a.k.a Shitara-san and Yuki Himura a.k.a Yuki-kun or Himura-san. They are like the older brothers to the group Nogizaka46 on their TV Shows.

The Hosts (MC):
 |
| Himura Yuuki Osamu Shitara |
Shitara is a real wise crack and leader of the group and does what is called boke (meaning of "senility" or "air headed-ness" and is reflected in the boke's tendency for misinterpretation and forgetfulness.). Besides comedy and storytelling, he is an Actor, Voice Actor and Television Presenter. Shitara is known to have hosted more than 600+ television programs in Japan. Shitara always sits to the left of Himura in the show.
Himura takes on the secondary role often sacrificed to Shitara's wise crack and subjected to comical insults on his appearance and antics (totally harmless mind you), his role in duo is of tsukkomi (refers to the role the second comedian plays in "butting in" and correcting the boke's errors). Besides comedy, he is an Actor and a Voice Actor. Himura is known to have hosted more than 400+ television programs in Japan. Himura always sits to the right of Shitara in the show.
Episode Guide:
Seriously these episodes are meant to be watched (with English Subtitles preferably). Some are hilarious, exciting, comical, sporty, adventurous, resourceful, musical, thrilling, mellow, sad, boring (a few of them)... nonetheless something to enjoy thoroughly if you are a Nogizaka46 fan. Just watch them!!
