Unusual Events and Appearances On The Show
The live show has been the stage of many unusual events. One of them was the live "trial" of an alleged spiritual medium, called Mrs. Ildiko. She claimed to posess paranormal abilities when covering her head in a bulky bunch of towels. Diaconescu wrote several times some words on a piece of paper without her seeing them, and asked her to reproduce them using her medium powers so as to "test" or "prove" her abilities, each time with alleged success. At some times, while Mrs. Ildiko was using her "paranormal abilities" to find out the secret words, horror music was being played in the background and lights in the studio were rapidly being switched on and off by the show crew. This practice has been parodied many times by satire shows on concurrent TV channels.
Another unusual event was the live arrest of a man who allegedly had broken out of prison. The arrest took place during the live show in the show's studio, and the man tried to commit suicide before being immobilised.
Another unusual and controversial event that was broadcast live during the show was an apparent aggression of the show's host, Dan Diaconescu, by a recurrent guest who claimed he was disturbed by Diaconescu's instistence to invite him on the show. The aggressor brought a garbage can in the studio and tried to throw Diaconescu into it, without success. This was regarded by many internet users as a staging, taking into account that neither the reaction of Diaconescu himself nor that of the other guests in the studio nor that of the studio crew to the incident was very strong.
Several times during late night hours, Diaconescu had some of his guests dance on manele during the show on the table in the studio.

Famous quotes containing the words unusual, events, appearances and/or show:
“You do not become a “dissident” just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schelling or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
