Česko Slovensko má talent (ČSMT) is the Czech-Slovak version of the "Got Talent" franchise that is in some +60 countries.
ČSMT first aired on 29 August 2010 and the tenth season finished airing a couple of months ago.
One of the moderators is Czech and the other is Slovak. Both Czech and Slovak are spoken by the moderators, judges, and contestants.
From what I understand, back in the days of Czechoslovakia, the evening news used to always be broadcast in both languages. The first half was in Czech and the second half was in Slovak. This was one of the ways that pretty much helped everyone to understand each other. While Czech and Slovak are pretty close, the younger generations today, in both Czechland and Slovakia, have a harder time understanding the other language. I wonder how many other shows there are out there that are broadcast in both languages.
Here's a short clip from season 8 that I found out on YouTube. The contestant plays clips from songs in several languages and holds up cards with similar sounding but incorrect lyrics. I think it's pretty funny.
