Gilgamesh Night (ギルガメッシュないと / ギルガメッシュ・ナイト) was a softcore porn Japanese variety TV show broadcast from October 1991 to March 1998.[1] Airing early Sunday mornings at 1:15 a.m. JST on TV Tokyo, the hour-long show helped launch the career of one of its late hosts, Ai Iijima, who afterwards moved into a more mainstream career.
