Trendy Angel, a comedy duo who won the M-1 Grand Prix 2015 manzai contest, will appear on Detective Funassyi. (Manzai is a form of stand-up comedy that’s usually done in pairs as give-and-take banter - more about manzai on Wikipedia.) They’re the two balding guys in the photo above. Their names probably don’t mean much unless you’re a fan of manzai, but they’re a very ‘hot’ act right now, so it seems Fuji TV is putting some money and effort into the Funassyi vehicle. (News article (Japanese)).
As happens quite often with manzai duos, one of the Trendy Angels is a lot more popular than the other - Saito-san, who’s on the far right in the photo (and he’s always called Saito-san, not Saito or Saito-kun or something else. He even calls himself Saito-san). Here he’s in a skit with Egusuplosion, telling the history of Commodore Matthew Perry’s arrival in Japan through song and dance. Saito-san is the one in the middle - he moves and sings pretty well, in a slightly creepy kind of way. (I admit to being a fan of Saito-san.)
