The adage of all dressed up and nowhere to go seems to be the perfect saying to describe the fate of Life OK’s stand -up comedy show <em>Laugh India Laugh</em>. We are not saying so, but the rating of this Chunkey Pandey, Shekhar Suman and Mika (he is on and off) judged effort seem to indicate the same (0.8TVR). Compare this to what Sony Entertainment Television <em>Comedy Circus</em>’ 3.3 rating and the writing is clearly on the wall.

India’ first superstar Rajesh Khanna who mouthed “<em>Yeh lo, phir tumhari aankho main paani! Maine tumse kitni baar kaha hai ki, Pushpa mujhse ye aansu dekhe nahi jaate</em>. I hate tears,” in <em>Amar Prem</em>, passed away this afternoon leaving behind tears to everyone’s eyes.

Don’t go by the headline and get shocked. Instead read on… Now, Shekhar Suman needs no introduction. Last year on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 5 (Sony Entertainment Television), he mesmerized the audience with his moves on this dance reality show and to some extent made his fans feel proud. And now, Shekhar is busy judging a standup comedy show, <em>Laugh India Laugh</em> on Life OK.

Shekhar Suman, the host of Movers and Shakers season one and two that was telecast on Sony Entertainment Television and SAB TV respectively talks about his show going off air today. “The show is going off air today (22 June) and it went on for 90 episodes. It went off well; it’s not all of a sudden that it is going off air. I was always kept in the loop about the happenings. We did get a good response for the show. Though it was not as expected, but still it got a decent TRP much better than many dailies,” shared Shekhar with Tellychakar.com. .

SAB TV’s show Movers and Shakers…Masala Markey anchored by Shekhar Suman never really set the TRP chart on fire. And the latest we have learned is that it is all set to go off air on 22 June 2012. Already this show has been shifted to the 7 pm slot from Monday (18 June) night. This standup comedy series had first been shunted from 10.30 to 11pm and the original producer (Runway Productions) was also replaced by Optimystix Entertainment.
