The Kapil Sharma Show (also known as TKSS) is an Indian Hindi language stand-up comedy and talk show that airs on Sony Entertainment Television. Hosted by comedian Kapil Sharma, the programme premiered on 23 April 2016.
The first season was set around Sharma and his neighbours living in the fictional Shantivan Non-Cooperative Housing Society. The show is filmed at Film City in Goregaon East, Mumbai.
The initial season was produced by Sharma’s production company K9 Productions in association with Frames Productions. From the second and third seasons, production responsibilities were shared by Salman Khan Television and Banijay Asia, along with K9 Productions, while TEAM (Triyambh Entertainment and Media) served as the creative producer.
The 5th season of the show premiered in September 2022, with Archana Puran Singh returning as the guest judge.
Premise The format is largely identical of Sharma's former show Comedy Nights with Kapil. The kapil sharma Show revolves around Kapil Sharma and his team of comedians, including Sumona Chakravarti, Kiku Sharda, Chandan Prabhakar, Krushna Abhishek, Bharti Singh and Rochelle Rao, who play residents of the Shantivan Non-cooperative Housing Society. Normally every episode unfolds in two parts with the first part being a comic skit enacted by the actors of the show and the second part being the celebrity interview where popular personalities from various fields indulge in a light-hearted interaction with karma. Navjot Singh Sidhu was the permanent guest of the show but was later replaced by Archana Puran Singh after 16 February 2019.
