With Kapil Sharma's popular comedy show, ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ going off air last year and transitioning to an OTT platform, the TV comedy programming witnessed a significant gap. As per reports, popular stand-up comedian and actor Zakir Khan will be stepping in to fill this gap with his own comedy show.
According to Hindustan Times, "Zakir Khan's show will not only have comedy but seamlessly blend Shayari, which is typically the comedian's style." A source close to the development told the media portal that Zakir aims to reach a broader television audience with his shayarana aura.
Further reports suggest that the show might make it to the screens in August and will feature Bollywood guests reminiscing to the audience about ‘The Kapil Sharma Show's format. However, as of now, the lineup of guests for Zakir's show is yet to be confirmed.

As per reports, this won't be Zakir Khan's first appearance on TV. The comedian served as a mentor in the ‘Great Indian Laughter Challenge’ Season 5 in 2017. Khan has successfully hosted the comedy non-fiction show ‘Farzi Mushaira’ on the OTT platform, where he delivered shayari and comedy in a relatable way.
According to reports, the show ‘Madness Machayenge- India Ko Hasayenge,’ which temporarily filled the gap left by ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ is expected to wrap up soon. Recently, the show faced strong criticism from filmmaker Karan Johar for mimicking him in a distasteful way, and it has failed to establish a connection with its audience.
