Normally every episode unfolds in two parts with the first part being a comic skit enacted by the actors of the show and the second part being the celebrity interview where popular personalities from various fields indulge in a light-hearted interaction with karma.

Season 5 (2022–2023)
Controversy
On 31 August 2017, the spokesperson of Sony Entertainment Television announced that Kapil Sharma and the channel have mutually agreed to give the show a short break as the shooting of several episodes had to be cancelled in the past few days due to Sharma's poor health. The show started losing TRP post Sharma's mid-air altercation with co-star Sunil Grover. After that, his health started deteriorating which made him skip the show for a couple of episodes.[485] After the controversy, Grover left the show along with Chandan Prabhakar, Ali Asgar and some other cast members.[486][487] Prabhakar returned to the show along with Bharti Singh appearing in recurring episodes. The show went off air in 2017. The second season took to the telecast in December 2018.[488] Singh and Krushna Abhishek joined the show as new cast.[489][490][491][492]
The show was also in controversy when film director Vivek Agnihotri said that the star cast of his movie The Kashmir Files was not invited to the show because the film does not have a commercial star cast.[493] Later, film actor Anupam Kher denied allegations of Vivek Agnihotri.[494]
Reception
Summarize
Perspective
The Kapil Sharma Show's first season received a mixed reception from critics and audiences.[495] Namrata Thakker of Rediff.com gave it 2.5 stars out of 5 stars, liking the characters of Sunil Grover and Ali Asgar but saying that "the series has big shoes to fill considering how successful their earlier show Comedy Nights With Kapil was."[496] Chaya Unnikrishnan of Daily News and Analysis gave the series two stars out of five but said, "Kapil Sharma's wit and funny one-liners bring a laugh". Although she praised part of the show ("In fact, the 10 minutes or so where [Sharma] has a monologue is the best part of the show"), Unnikrishnan called it "dull and disappointing".[497] In her 1.5-star review, Letty Mariam Abraham of Mid-Day said: "The whole look and feel of the new set is interesting, even if the jokes are old". However, "Kapil brings nothing new to the plate and it seems like a waste of the prime time slot."[498] The season 2 of the show got a favourable opening according Broadcast Audience Research Council ratings, with 8.1 million impressions.[499]
Viewer response
According to the reports published by the Broadcast Audience Research Council, the show's first episode of the show generated 8,943 responses. Although, some viewers were happy to see the same contestants back after watching Comedy Nights with Kapil, others were disappointed with the show's repetitive humour and chaos.[500] The series' 16th episode, featuring the Sairat team and airing on 12 June 2016, had better ratings in the non-fiction category.[501]
