lit. "Celebrities Grading Check"
A Japanese TV game show.
"Apparently" first-class celebrities challenge several quizzes of distinguishing highest grade things (foods, music, etc.) from poor ones.
As they answer wrong, they get "downgraded" to the followings:
- 一流芸能人: First-class celebrities (or A-list; the initial grade)
- 普通芸能人: Ordinary celebrities (or B-list)
- 二流芸能人: Second-class celebrities (or C-list)
- 三流芸能人: Third-class celebrities (or D-list)
- そっくりさん: Look-alikes (The real celebrities can't be this bad! They must be common people who just look like them...)
- 映す価値なし: Not worth appearing (on the TV; they really disappear by CG processing)
