History
Guess started on 4 July 1996 as 我猜我猜我猜猜猜 (pinyin: Wǒ Cāi Wǒ Cāi Wǒ Cāi Cāi Cāi; literally "I Guess I Guess I Guess Guess Guess"), but suffered low viewer ratings initially (apart from its pilot episode), until Jacky Wu took over the helm as the main male host on 21 March 1998. He has been the main host since, while his 2 female co-hosts have changed throughout the years. Former female hosts includes Rainie Yang, Aya (柳翰雅), Barbie Hsu (aka Da S), Dee Hsu (aka Xiao S), Matilda Tao, S.H.E. (Selina Ren, Hebe Tian and Ella Chen).
Wu left the show on 3 July 2010, and hosting duies was taken up by Harlem Yu and Selina Jen. However due to Selina's filming accident in October 2010, Chen Han Tien (陳漢典) filled in as co-host. Yu left the show on 28 January 2011 and the show went on a short hiatus. It relaunched with the new name on 12 March 2011, with Jacky Wu returning to the show as the main host and joined by Patty Hou as his new co-host.
While the show is still running in Taiwan, the production and writing staff are also working on the "talk" show Kangxi Lai Le, a variety show composed of star-studded topical and comedic interviews.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
