Happy Can Already! (Chinese: 欢喜就好) is a Singapore dialect variety series which is telecast on Singapore's free-to-air channel, Mediacorp Channel 8. The series made its debut on 2 December 2016. This was the first dialect variety show to be produced on Channel 8 after a 30-year hiatus. This series is primarily targeted at Singaporean elderly as most of them speak Chinese dialects at home. The aim is to reach out to seniors in an entertaining and informative way through songs and comedy skits.Jack Neo and Mark Lee will reprise their roles as Liang Xi Mei and Robert respectively from Comedy Nite.
It consists of 10 episodes and broadcasts every Friday from 12pm to 12.30pm.
Liang Xi Mei (Jack Neo) and friends will reprise their characters from Comedy Nite, giving viewers an update on their lives since they last appeared on screen in 2003. Liang Xi Mei laments that most of her friends are not around anymore. Her eldest son Robert (Mark Lee) is now married to Mary (Chua Lee Lian) and they have a daughter Xinhui (Toh Xin Hui). Her second son Albert (Benjamin Tan) is now in university, and Lion King has a son called Merlion King (Jaspers Lai).
Each episode will start with a guest performance and interview, before proceeding to the skit segment. Performers in this program include veteran getai singers such as Liu Lingling and Hao Hao. The skit segments will not only revolve around the lives of Liang Xi Mei and friends, but will also feature cameo appearances by Dennis Chew (Aunty Lucy).
