Colors TV identified a niche for a show that could complement the existing comedy block. The network wanted to capitalize on the rising trend of "roasts"—popularized internationally by shows like Comedy Central Roast and briefly in India by the AIB Knockout. However, the challenge was to adapt the roast format for a "General Audience" (U/A) rating, stripping away the profanity and sexual innuendo while retaining the sting of the jokes.
The show eventually evolved into in late 2016, introducing new faces like Nia Sharma, Mona Lisa, and Ssumier Pasricha, while retaining the core cast members like Bharti and Krushna. comedy nights bachao premiere date
