It covers the topics of news, literature, history, psychology, geography, politics, chemistry, biology and more. The Host wears a headgear with a comic face during the show, and uses humorous words to report ridiculous news events. The show became popular among Chinese Internet users, and has a young audience. It imitates the program style and title sequence of Russell Howard's Good News, a BBC comedy and topical news show.
The show has had 4 seasons so far. The first season started from March 29 to August 8, 2013, the second from December 20, 2013 to June 20, 2014, the third from June 27, 2014 to June 26, 2015, and the fourth released on July 10, 2015.
During the first season, the show was short and only updated bi-weekly, lacking experience for watchers. Accepting viewer's criticisms, the director changed the show's style. The reporter, Wang Nima, began to report news standing instead of sitting, the production team also moved to a new shooting field. For the third season, the show's update cycle was abridged into weekly.
