A newly released promo from Netflix has already created a buzz online. In the clip, Samay Raina is seen in top form, roasting everyone on stage, including host Kapil Sharma, judge Archana Puran Singh, and even Sidhu Paaji.

Standing beside him, Ranveer Allahbadia praises Samay, saying he has a very pure heart. Kapil quickly fires back with a witty jab, joking about Samay managing to get his own show cancelled yet still keeping Ranveer around, sending the audience into fits of laughter. The banter doesn’t stop there. When Ranveer mentions how their friendship has grown stronger over the past year, Samay delivers a cheeky response, hinting that the feeling may not be entirely mutual.

In another promo shared on social media, Samay excitedly announces his appearance on the show, claiming he hasn’t been informed about the guest joining him. Moments later, Ranveer walks in, leaving Samay mock-disappointed and the audience amused. The episode, promoted as a double dose of laughter, premiered on May 2 at 8 PM on Netflix, coinciding with global celebrations like World Laughter Day.

The excitement around their comeback also brings back memories of the controversy surrounding India’s Got Latent. In February last year, Ranveer appeared on the show alongside Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Mukhija, where certain remarks about sensitive topics sparked backlash. Multiple FIRs were filed against those involved, including Samay and Ranveer.
