Monday Late Show Episode 348

The first topic was a research of foreign residents in Japan. The staff interviewed them on their jobs (featuring the Mexican from Ep. 343), the hardships and bad treatments, and romantic relationships. They then checked on various nicknames of people on the street. The staff found nicknames like "Jimny", "Four Years Ago", "stingray", and "reverse Conan". Matsuko then talked about AIBO robot dog, discussing its newest potential with Murakami and contemplating to buy it. Next was the "Saitama Headline News" with Toyoda Junko as the anchor. The news included how a new banknote featuring Shibusawa Eiichi affect a city, a man with an ability to describe bad smell, and a nudon shop owner who cut his noodle blindfolded. Lastly they reacted to a ranking of favorite men's gestures according to women surveyed by Navi News. The ranking was not that interesting according Matsuko, while Murakami questioned the use of the word "casually" for the top 2 gestures. (Source: Griffin Seannery at kisskh)
