Actors who can host Comedy Nights with Kapil

From hosting the biggest Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to being the face of a popular 'churan' packet, Comedy Nights With Kapil host Kapil Sharma is popular and his comedy show is one of the most watched on Indian Television. It is an institution in itself that has made Kapil Sharma a household name. Now that the comedian is foraying into Bollywood with Yash Raj Films's Bank-Chor, he might not be able to give time to his own show. While we cannot even think of the show without Kapil, we are bracing ourselves for all possibilities. If Kapil decides to quit this show due to his B-Town aspirations, we bring you a list of actors who can replace Kapil Sharma as the host of the show. Though they will have a daunting task ahead filling his shoes.

Raju Srivastava: Be it Bigg Boss or Nach Baliye, Raju Srivastava has never failed to make us laugh with his dialogue delivery, imitation and antics. He has the gift of the gab and describes everyday incidents with a lot of humour. He makes funny faces and is an expert in imitating. Ever since his childhood, Raju wanted to become a comedian and used to reportedly impersonate his teachers in his school. He has also done some Bollywood movies and was runner up in the very popular comic show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. Considered as one of the best standup comedians in India, Raju Srivastava can do justice to a show as popular as Comedy Nights With Kapil.

Govinda: Bollywood's funny man Govinda ruled the big screen in the 90s with a spate of comedies, showing off a natural comic timing that puts him in the league of actors like of Paresh Rawal, Kader Khan, Johny Lever and Shakti Kapoor. He is good with impersonation and is extremely expressive, making him a perfect comic character. He has given some memorable performances in movies such as Raja Babu, Coolie No 1 and Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan. He has a great stage presence, is charismatic and dances like a dream. If he makes his debut as a host in television, he should do it with a show like Comedy Nights With Kapil. His popularity among the masses will take the TVTs higher too.

Bharti Singh: Be it her onscreen flirting with Remo Dsouza in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa or her 'Lalli' (the infant) act, no woman can tickle your ribs like Bharti Singh. She is cute, funny and extremely lively. She is perhaps the only woman who can make fun of her own weight. While some may agree that she lacks the finesse and class which is displayed by Kapil Sharma, we think she too can do complete justice to Comedy Nights With Kapil.

Sudesh Lehri: Another comedian to watch out for is Sudesh Lehri. He is extremely talented as far as comedy is concerned and has done several movies like Ready, Jai Ho, Wagah and Welcome to Punjab. He rose to prominence with his acts in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, where he was paired with Krushna Abhishek. Since he has already participated in several comedy shows such as Dekh India Dekh, Comedy Circus 2 and Comedy Circus Ke Ajoobe, he will be able to carry the burden of hosting a comedy show and just might be able to step into Kapil Sharma's shoes.

Cyrus Brocha: Known as the 'Prankster of Indian TV', Cyrus Brocha is a very popular TV anchor, theatre personality, comedian, political satirist, columnist and author. He became very popular for his show Bakra on MTV. He has acted in several movies and has a great screen presence. He is extremely funny, has a style and is also very popular among the youth. He has a dry sense of humour and has a huge experience in hosting shows and hence can easily host a show as popular as Comedy Nights With Kapil. He has a funny take on anything and everything under the planet and it would be fun to watch his interaction with Bollywood biggies on the show.
