The group was originally composed of Farouk Hussain as the leader of the Senario group, and members of the group Wahid, Ilya, Hamdan, Shamsul, Azlee and Mazlan. The Farouk-hosted competition was running in early 90's and in 1994 season, Shamsul Ghau Ghau was crowned as the champion and Mazlan Ahmad became the runner-up. The Senario group was established in 1996 as a result of a combination of 6 participants of the Sinaran Pasport Kegemilangan together with the host of the tv competition programme, Farouk Hussain. Some of its original cast had undergone several replacements during its 17-year-long run whereas only Mazlan Ahmad (stage name: Lan Pet-Pet), Azlee Jaafar and Abdul Wahid (stage name:Wahid) remain as the core members of the troupe.
