The Super Trio Series is a Hong Kong variety show series produced by TVB. It debuted in 1995, and remained in production for eighteen years due to its popularity. The show was hosted by Eric Tsang and his two assistants - Jerry Lamb and Chin Kar-lok.
The show initially ended its run with the airing of the final episode on July 16, 2005. However, on March 9, 2008, the first episode of the show's spin-off series Super Trio Wonder Trip was aired; its main purpose was to introduce a series of new games that are to be imported from various game shows all over the world and would appear in series 8, Super Trio Supreme. On May 26, 2013, the tenth series, Super Trio Maximus, was aired, its final episode airing on January 12, 2014.
Eight years later, in 2022, the show was revived with the new series, Super Trio Returns. Eric Tsang, Chin Ka-Lok, Louis Yuen from series 8 and Mayanne Mak from I Heart HK hosted the program as prizemaster and prize elders respectively. Additionally, Hellston Ching and Amisha Ng joined the program as new prize elders.




Format



The show is presented by Eric Tsang, the "Prize Master" (獎門人, Jiăng Mén Rén), and the "prize elders" (獎老, Jiàng Láo), Jerry Lamb and Chin Ka-lok.
Each episode features several popular Hong Kong celebrities as guest stars. Sometimes contestants from Miss Hong Kong pageants and other international pageants are invited. They participate in different party games devised by the producers, usually ridiculous or sexually provocative. At the end of each round, attractive (or sometimes bizarre) prizes would be awarded to the winners. Audiences are often included as part of the show.
