In an era of sensationalist hosts and nasty judges, not only does Bachchan appears comfortable enjoying the key elements of the show -- quizzing, interacting, conversing but appears thoroughly delighted and, alternatively, disappointed when a contestant does or doesn't do well. It's infectious. And so is KBC.
After three editions of the hugely-successful Kaun Banega Crorepati, Sony TV has bought the rights for the show this year.
Kaun Banega Crorepati-4 (KBC-4), hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, got an average TV rating of 5.5 in its final episode, according to data from TVR agency aMap. The closing episode had a peak rating of 7.4, it said. TVRs denote the percentage of viewers who watched the show for a stipulated period.
KBC's Prashant Batar isn't the first; we've seen some big losers before.
His quiz master avatar fetched Sony one of its highest TV ratings (TVRs) in recent times.
