Dahsyat presenters edit

The Dahsyat presenters have not been immune to controversy during the show's lengthy run.

In June 2010, Luna Maya left the show after video clips surfaced allegedly showing her taking part in sex acts with Ariel from the band, Peterpan (now known as Noah) and with Cut Tari.[1][2]

Raffi Ahmad's house was raided by police looking for drugs, including marijuana and methylone in 2013. Indonesia's agency responsible for monitoring narcotics charged Ahmad with possession and distribution of category one narcotics; Ahmad spent three months in an outpatient drug rehabilitation clinic.[3][4][5]

The Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) repeatedly reprimanded Olga Syahputra for coarse humor, which included references to male genitalia and jokes about transvestites, rape and, overweight people.[6][7] He subsequently died in Singapore on March 27, 2015 of meningitis.

Popularity edit

The daily Dahsyat show draws millions of viewers.

On 12 Dec 2014, the show had a TVR of 1.3 and a share of 12.7%, ranking it 62nd.[8] On 14 Dec 2014, the show had a TVR of 2.0 and a share of 18.7%, ranking it 25th.[9]

Dahsyat has made efforts to improve ratings. The show followed SCTV's Eat Bulaga! Indonesia's by offering prizes and instituted the new Gaspol format focused on dance events, similar to Trans TV's Yuk Keep Smile's Caesar Dance. However, the show's programming has been widely criticized by viewers for a decline in music, increased attention on the presenters' personal lives, long advertisements, and frequent presenter changes. These criticisms have been compounded by both the success of rival show Inbox on SCTV and incidents involving the presenters, notably Raffi Ahmad's drug charges and a reprimand by the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission for insulting Islam.[10]

New format edit

On August 27, 2013, Dahsyat launched the Gaspol dance event format, adding a DJ.
