Every episode of Extravaganza had guests, such as Cinta Laura, Ungu, etc.

The show became successful due to its creativity and originality, a new, fresh kind of comedy show in Indonesia. This is however, debatable since the format of the show appeared to be strongly based on foreign comedy shows, most prominently the American Saturday Night Live (SNL). Most of the comedic scenario the show used was based (sometimes even almost identical, word for word) on jokes circulating on the Internet and common Indonesian jokes.

Some segment on Extravaganza such as:

• Sketsa Komedi (Comedy Sketch) - Comedy story like the real-life story. Usually based on true life-story, anime, manga, Western cartoon, Indonesia fighting, folktale, or even pre-historic era.
• Gerimis - Parody of Trans TV program Ceriwis with the tagline "Yoo...Miss..."

• Bincang-bincang Extravaganza (Extravaganza Talk) - Talk show segment with Tike Priyatnakusumah.
