Comedy Nights Live: Krushna Abhishek fails to impress as a replacement for Kapil Sharma!

It won’t be an exaggeration if we say that it is nearly impossible to replace Kapil Sharma. Krushna Abhishek takes over the popular show Comedy Nights With Kapil only to repackage it as Comedy Nights Live (only to disappoint the viewers). Or is it the case of viewers being loyal to the host they have enjoyed watching for so long. We think it’s a mix of both! But frankly speaking the very first show was a colossal disappointment. Call it the desperation to renew the old wine or the nervousness that comes from filling the shoes of Kapil who has been running his show successfully, Krushna fails spectacularly.

So what does the new format have for the audiences? Well, as a host Krushna Abhishek doesn’t make you giggle as much. The jokes are stale and the gigs have been repeated at least a  zillion times before on some comedy show or the other. Krushna kicks off the segment by impersonating as a lady (we missed you Gutthi, oh-so-dearly!) and the act looked so stupid! Mika Sigh has replaced Siddhu for the worst. We missed Siddhu’s one liners and his trademark throaty laughter. What the think of the show was doing, one wonders before renewing the popular show to deliver something as yawn inducing as Comedy Nights Live. The fact that the first episode had Madhuri Dixit Nene did not exactly help. The only saving grace was Bua’s character. Thankfully, the lady retains her excellent comic timing. The entire episode was riddled with so many digs at Kapil but they only accentuated his absence even more. So much so that we found ourselves screaming our lungs out to say ‘get Kapil back now!’

It would be interesting to note that Kapil was not exactly happy with the same channel running Kruhna’s show along the same lines as that of Comedy Nights. Ultimately the think tank of the channel have decided to replace Kapil with Krishna.

Krushna Abhishek and Kapil Sharma are not exactly the best of buddies. Their journey has not exactly been smooth all along. While Krushna reportedly had maintained that he would never want to be one of those characters that appear on the show. He had reportedly made much noise when Kapil had won a reality show. In his response Kapil had maintained that he would rather move on and focus on his work.

The writing on the wall is pretty clear: Kapil Sharma is absolutely indispensable. Can we have him back plij?
