We did give the show that extra marketing push through the on-ground events and if need be, we will do that again sporadically, but right now, we haven’t felt the need.” “The show is doing really well for us and we haven’t found a need to tweak it in any manner. Golwalkar feels that at the moment, there’s no need. The show has so far been successful for the channel, but are there plans to boost it further? The channel’s extensive marketing campaign during the launch included live events by the actor comedian and lead of the show Kapil Sharma. This shows how people are gradually spending more time on the show. In addition to the numbers, the show has also witnessed an increase in the average time spent per viewer from 24.35 minutes per viewer (average of week 41-48) to 30.29 minutes per viewer (average of week 49-4). I will give this to the makers and writers of the show.”

Since it is humour sans vulgarity, it attracts a lot of co-viewing by the families. It is just a perception that the male audiences watch more of Kapil Sharma, while it is more of a family show.
