Amitabh Bachchan hosting more KBC next seasons

Amitabh Bachchan hosting more KBC next seasons: Little wonder then that he’s been roped in by Sony Entertainment Television to host two more seasons of the show.

“Sony and I have signed on for KBC for the next two seasons... your blessings and encouragement needed in abundance!” Amitabh posted on his Twitter page.

It was Amitabh who first launched the show in 2000. He returned as its host for the second season in 2005 but was replaced by Shahrukh Khan in the show’s third season, but the audience response wasn’t as phenomenal as expected.

Last year, Big B returned as the host and revived the show and took its TRPs beyond those of other prime time shows, including Bigg Boss 4.

Sony Entertainment has confirmed that Big B has been signed to host two more seasons of the show. The fifth season will go on air this year only.

Amitabh Bachchan's KBC 4 retained highest TRP's

Amitabh Bachchan's KBC 4 retained highest TRP's: Amitabh Bachchan has taken the show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC 4) to an unique height this year.

The show's finale on Thursday final week touched the highest TRP of 5. 5 according to aMap rating. In connection, the Salman Khan hosted show Bigg Boss 4 earned the TRP of 2. 7.

In fact the TRPs of KBC 4 were steady from the start. Its opening episode in October got 5 rating. Later, the show remained between the rating of 4 and 5. It dipped a bit in the days when Bigg Boss roped in Pamela Anderson. Even Sara-Ali wedding got a good response from viewers.

But Bigg Boss couldn’t keep the same rating, despite putting the spitfire Dolly Bindra back in the house. Amitabh Bachchan just pumped the TRPs higher and higher in the concluding days of the show. The finale, with a guest appearance by Dharmendra, grabbed maximum eyeballs.

The verdict is clear. Amitabh Bachchan is the shahenshah of the small screen.

Take a bow!
