MUMBAI:
After experimenting and tasting different formats of comedy,
Sab TV has now geared up for yet another stand-up comedy act
called Comedy Ka King Kaun.
The
daily show will hit the screens on 14 April at 8:30 pm.
The
channel expects the show to deliver ratings. Star Ones's The
Great Indian Laughter Challenge is popular in this programming
genre.
"Stand-up
comedy as an emerging format has become a habit of today's
viewers and riding on which we have got this show which will
judge the best one among the equals," said Sab business
head Anooj Kapoor.
Sab
already has a slew of comedy shows like Comedy ka Tadka,
Comedy Club and Office Office running on the channel.
"The
other comedy shows on the channel like America's Funny
Videos, Office Office and Comedy Club have delivered
good in numbers and that compelled us to come up with this
show," added Kapoor.
Comedy
Ka King Kaun will see 12 stand-up comedians competing
with each other for the coveted title.
Hosted
by Sampada Vaze, Comedy Ka King Kaun consists of three
segments - a "Stand-up comedy round," a "Jugal
Bandi round" and a "Gag round."
The
"Stand-up comedy round" will have each participant
perform alone. In the "Jugal Bandi round" the judges
will select two random participants, who get together to perform
on a topic given by the judges. Finally, in the "Gag
round," each team will put up one gag with the help of
a pool of actors.
The
competition will be judged by Jaspal Bhatti and Divya Dutta.
"The
three rounds will give each one a chance to perform uniformly
and test on their presence of mind and ability to tickle your
funny bone," added Kapoor.
Every
Thursday, one of these 12 contestants will be eliminated until
the last one is crowned Comedy King who will walk away with
the prize money of Rs 1 million.
The
show has been produced by Contiloe Films and will run on for
13 weeks.
