talking point with Jaspal Bhatti

Will Flop Show ever make a comeback?
You will see lots of Flop Show on Thank You Jijaji.

In this show too we have a lot of family and bureaucracy spoofs. If you liked that show,you will definitely like this one.

What do you think of the stand up comedy shows that are all over TV these days?
I think when they are looking for the judges,they look for people who can laugh for the longest time and jump the highest from his chair. That’s all the judges do nowadays and it is highly irritating.

What is your Recession Party,doing now?
We will come back the next election. The main reason for forming this party was to show everyone what a joke our political system is. Especially with the handling of the recession. If the Congress cannot do any good this term,the Recession Party will be back.

They say that comedians are usually the most serious people,do you agree?
Completely. Just because we make people laugh doesn’t mean that we will be laughing all day long. In fact,we have to always observe others and we are always thinking about the next joke. Making a joke is not easy; we have to take our job seriously.

Do people expect you to make them laugh all the time?
I have gone to a funeral and people have asked me why I’m so sad. They think I’m a walking-talking joke. Everywhere I go the first thing people tell me is,“come on tell us a joke”.

So come on,tell us a joke.
The world we are living in is a joke.
