From around 2014 to 2019, comedy game shows became a "fever" with a series of programs covering all prime time frames.
In particular, the mark of comedians is associated with the success of many programs, making them familiar and irreplaceable faces. There were even times when the audience felt like "every time I opened the TV, I saw Hoai Linh, Tran Thanh, Truong Giang". They appear densely throughout the channel.
Before being involved in the scandal of slow disbursement of charity money, Hoai Linh was once considered the "entertment king" of Vietnamese showbiz when covering all fields, from stage, television, game shows to cinema, and almost everywhere there is Hoai Linh, there is a guarantee of ratings and revenue.
In her heyday, Hoai Linh's name was associated with a series of famous programs such as "Oh my god, here you are! , "Sunday Night Secrets", "The Lam shop", "Conceal Hiding the Face", "Dance of a Thousand Weights", "The familiar faces of children", "The Mysterious Person"...
"thank you, you are here!" is a situation comedy program that has attracted audiences through 8 seasons, received 4 Mai Vang awards and stopped in 2022.
The program brings together comedians from the South - North with a diverse cast of guest contestants who are showbiz stars.
In the position of head of department, Tran Thanh and Truong Giang are " obsession" of many guests because of their unpredictable opening style and ability to transform characters very quickly. Meanwhile, artist Hoai Linh was assigned the judge position.
"The Comedy Challenge" has gone through 6 seasons, and was one of the popular TV game shows of the past. After a year of being suspended due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the producer of "Challenge of Comedy" announced the return of season 7 with many innovations, including "changing the blood" of all the old judges Tran Thanh, Truong Giang and MC Ngo Kien Huy.
However, since the announcement in May 2021, the program has not returned.

The role of judge of Truong Giang and Tran Thanh in the program has become a familiar "laughing brand".
Grasping the hot trend of comedy game shows, Vinh Long Television launched "Laughing Across Vietnam", a contest to find new comedians. Tran Thanh sat in the "hot seat" in this comedy show.

In addition, television has many comedy game shows such as "The Comedy Show", "The Comedy Show", "The Comedy Show of Vietnam", "The Comedy Show of Vietnam"... but now these programs have temporarily stopped broadcasting for many reasons.
