had to live up to the expectations that people had from him after he replaced amitabh on kbc.. from whatever i heard yesterday, shah rukh khan was quite bad as the host on kaun banega crorepati, which aired for the first time yesterday.. what do you guys think?

It's silly to even attempt a comparison. Besides age, experience and skill (where Amitabh Bachchan is leagues ahead) the comparing styles of the 2 actors in questions are diametrically opposite. Sharukh is more casual with the contestants, joking and being flippant with the participants as opossed to Amitabh's poised, formal demeanor. Amitabh was classy ...but frankly, I'm bored beyond words of his repeatedly repeated chaste Hindi phrases and 'look at the refinement in me' projections. Sharukh seems more real and vulnerable. I almost enjoyed watching him fumble, pick himself up and ease the contestants with his everyday humour. Amitabh Bachchan is too perfect and I smell a lot of carefully cultivated artifice there. Sharukh is more 'human'. In my opinion the show will pick up once the audience decides to look beyond Amitabh Bachchan. ...and of course there is the curiosity value that brings people like me to switch to the channel and check out just how worse the KBC's gotten...lol

i dont think shah rukh khan will be as great as the big but i think he will certainly gain some revenue for the channel and himself aswell
