According to producer , the idea to create a sketch show for the Nogizaka46 fourth generation members came during production of the group's previous show
Nogizaka, Doko e, in which they first appeared in a sketch segment. Several characters developed for
Nogizaka Skits were based on the members' distinct personalities as displayed on that show. The Saraba Seishun no Hikari duo have also been the co-hosts of
Nogizaka, Doko e and are experienced in sketch comedy, being regular finalists in the
TBS Television sketch contest show ''''. Like
Nogizaka, Doko e, the first season of
Nogizaka Skits exclusively features Nogizaka46 members from the fourth generation, who joined the group in two batches in 2018 and 2020. The second season features the addition of the third generation members, who joined the group in 2016. The show aired for two seasons from 2020 to 2021, followed by a live sketch comedy show and concert titled
Nogizaka Skits Live, held through live streaming as the final installment on April 18, 2021. == Reception ==
