Shekhar Suman, Sushmita, Sonu Sood launch new comedy show as judges

New comedy show Comedy Superstar is gearing up to air on SAB TV, which has an interesting set of judges led by Bengali beauty Sushmita Sen, Shekhar Suman and Sonu Sood.

The show is to be launched on August 22 and will be telecast on Saturdays and Sundays at 10pm.

The show offers a platform to aspiring stand-up comedians to showcase their entertaining skills.

Speaking at a press conference to promote the show, Sen said: “We’ve been given the name, mind, body and soul. So no prizes for guessing, I’m the soul.”

She pointed to Sood as the body obviously for his macho physique and Suman as mind for his wit.

“There was one reason for doing the show, the first reason — whenever people watch television or films or when they read newspapers, all the news are extremely negative and depressing. Very rarely do you get an opportunity to make people happy and feel them laughing, even if it is in their living rooms,” she said.

All the three have initials ‘SS’. All the three of them also have association with comedy and hence apt as judges.

Suman is particularly known for his comic timing having judged numerous comedy shows over the years, particularly the one which identified talents like Kapil Sharma and Raju Shrivastav, who are renowned comedians today. Sen too has displayed her comic talent in Main Hoon Na and Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya among others. Sood recently tickled viewers’ funny bone as a hearing-impaired person in Happy New Year.
