Tezzbuzz Desk – These days a new debate is going on in the world of TV and digital entertainment. The question is, are audience preferences changing? Have people now started preferring sharp satire and socio-political sarcasm rather than just light comedy? At the center of this discussion is actor and host Shekhar Suman, whose new show ‘Shekhar Tonight’ is continuously gaining discussion on social media.
Many clips of recent episodes of the show have gone viral on the internet. Be it a jibe at international politics, the issue of inflation or the current events of the country, Shekhar Suman in his special style is making the audience laugh as well as think. This is the reason why his video clips are gaining millions of views.
Many users on social media are now comparing ‘Shekhar Tonight’ and ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’. However, the style and objective of both the shows are completely different. While Kapil Sharma’s show is mainly based on entertainment and family comedy, Shekhar Suman’s focus is on satire, social commentary and political satire.
Experts believe that today’s audience not only wants entertainment but also wants a different perspective on contemporary issues. In such a situation, satire based content is becoming increasingly popular. Shekhar Suman’s specialty has been that he does not remain limited to any one side, but comments openly on every issue.
Shekhar Suman has been known for his outspoken style since the era of ‘Movers and Shakers’. Now returning to an open platform like YouTube, he has once again presented the same style in front of the audience. The reach and sharing facility of YouTube has also played an important role in increasing the popularity of the show.
However, it is too early to say that any one show has left the other behind. But it is certain that ‘Shekhar Tonight’ has started a new discussion among the audience regarding satire and comedy. Only time will decide which direction the audience’s choice will go in the changing times.
