Italian pubcaster launched a  new fresh edition of Those Crazy Little Ones, created by RESET TV, with the local title Stasera a letto tardi, on March 3 at 21:20 on Rai 2. The program is produced by the Prime Time Entertainment Department of RAI in collaboration with Endemol Shine Italy.

The show is hosted by the comedy collective The Jackal, with Aurora Leone, Ciro Priello, Fabio Balsamo and Gianluca Colucci (Fru).

At the heart of the show is a group of children aged between four and ten, selected for their spontaneity and directness. Each episode combines studio segments and hidden-camera pranks in which the children, unaware they are being filmed, interact with the hosts in humorous and unpredictable situations.

The program also features interviews with guest celebrities who answer questions devised by the children themselves. Guests in the first episode include Carlo Conti, fresh from hosting the Sanremo Music Festival, long-jump champion Mattia Furlani and actress Matilde Gioli, known for the hit series Doc – Nelle tue mani.

Throughout the show, the young participants take part in special “missions” assigned by the hosts that, if successfully completed, earn them a humorous “adult license.” Another recurring segment, The Children’s Laws, sees the kids vote on proposals they have created themselves, forming a playful “parliament” that builds a list of rules they would like adults to follow.
