Really old Japanese TV game show

When I was little, I used to watch a Japanese TV show called "TV Champion", they used to do really huge tournaments for "unique" talents.

example of a famous stage from "spicy foods" episode:

-contestants have to eat really spicy ramen while sitting on top of a Plexiglas platform that's design to catch all the sweat that's coming out of their bodies with a bottle underneath the platform as reservoir, and whoever puts out the most sweat wins.

Just wondering if anyone saw this TV show too. I've been meaning to look for them online but I just couldn't find it.

I've seen it like 12 or so years ago in Indonesia, don't think anyone would go through the trouble of converting the media of that era into digital and have it uploaded somewhere.

Then again, this is japan we're talking about...

There's tons of crazy off-the-wall clips of Japanese shows on Youtube. I've watched quite a few but can't tell you the names of any of the shows.

My favorites are the guys that get caned/spanked if they can't resist laughing.
