TOI: Indian Idol likely to replace Comedy Circus

Apparently the popular SONY TV show is being pulled off momentarily.

Comedy Circus essentially is amongst one of the strongest and longest running shows on Sony TV. So it sure comes as a surprise with the news doing the rounds that the channel has decided to do away with the popular show all of sudden.

If the buzz is to be believed, this is the last leg ofComedy Circus and the show will go off air after that. Comedy Circus has run for more than half a decade now with multiple seasons coming back to back. They never took a break between any two seasons either. However fans of the standup comedy show need not be disappointed since the show is going off air only momentarily.

Apparently Comedy Circus is taking a three month break after which it shall return with revived energy. The reason being cited is that over the period the acts were getting kind of repetitive and without any break, creativity wasn't getting the space. In that case the gap should only prove helpful to the comedians.

While the channel hasn't issued any confirmation on the development yet, in most probability, the new season of Indian Idol shall replace the Comedy Circus slot.
