According to Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB), there are 832 channels in India. These 832 channels have unlimited number of shows which run 24x7 on the screen. There was an era of saas-bahu where everyone would (specially ladies) stick to their television sets for the tear-jerking dramas between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Even though, this era hasn't diminished completely but the taste of the audience has definitely changed. With 356 million youths (the most number of 10-24 year-olds in the world, even more than China) India is in the need of quick witted humour and fast entertainer which is undoubtedly filled by Kapil Sharma.

The Kapil Sharma show is very popular and is probably liked for following reasons:

1. No derogatory or double meaning jokes: Kapil Sharma's comedy is better than most of the comedy series we see on other channels. His comedy is mostly neat and is free from double meaning jokes.
2. For all age groups: Kapil's show offers entertainment to all the age groups. Children love to watch his comedy too. His jokes are mostly family oriented which we all can laugh at while sitting with the whole family. 
3. Personable: Kapil's show has  a format of interacting with audience which connects the host and the celebrity guests to the common man. He also has the skill to do it in common man's way that the audience feel themselves connected to the family portrayed on the stage.
4. Celebrities: The concept of bringing celebrities or rather celebrities coming to promote their movies keeps the audience glued to their TV sets. Connecting celebrities to the audience with their conversations make audience believe that the celebrities are also approachable and they get to know more about their favourites celebrities.
5. Navjot Singh Sidhu: His witty jokes, "thoko taali" and above all his perfectly timed shayari make Navjot Singh Sidhu a much desirable part of the Kapil Sharma show. His laughter which is often on not-so-funny jokes induces laughter.
