The Connection is a knowledge quiz that revolves around a single answer: the ultimate connection. Hosted by Patrick Lodiers, the show features three Dutch celebrities along with viewers at home competing across four rounds. The correct answers in each round are linked to one another, ultimately leading to a single, all-encompassing answer. For instance, what is the connection between Alicia Keys, the Guggenheim Museum, the Yankees, and *Friends*? Or between the color red, May 1st, Jan Wolkers, and Doorn? Which contestant possesses not only a broad range of general knowledge but also the ability to link all the answers together to uncover the ultimate connection?


Waku waku is the Dutch version of a Japanese game-show format (hence the name, unintelligible in Dutch or other Western languages) in which a small panel of celebrities is shown a number of short film sequences in which (usually wild or zoo) animals are shown in unusual (often artificially created) situations. The presenter asks the panel members multiple choice-questions about what an animal (or group)'s next move or reaction will be, as a rule a matter of guessing, the scores don't actually affect the show.
