Jang Sung-kyu and announcer Kim Hwan have appeared as recurring special guests by hosting the show's game segments. Originally, Shindong was also a recurring guest before being promoted to a regular cast member in episode 444. After appearing as a guest several times, comedienne Kim Shin-young was added as the first female cast member in episode 528.
