About the Show:

Samay Raina's 'India's Got Latent' is a parody of the popular reality TV show India's Got Talent. It draws inspiration from Kill Tony, an American comedy show hosted by Tony Hinchcliffe but with a unique twist. Contestants showcase their talents and rate their own performance out of 10, following which a panel of judges scores them. If a contestant's self-rating matches the judges' average score, they win the entire ticket revenue from that episode. In addition, the winner also takes home a cash prize of Rs 1 lakh, sponsored by the episode's partner.

With each episode of 'India's Got Latent' doing an average of 25 million, the show's popularity is supported by Raina's 6.7 million YouTube subscribers.

'India's Got Latent' also featured several well-known guests including actor Siddhant Chaturvedi, rapper Badshah, Rakhi Sawant, Poonam Pandey, and comedian Vipul Goyal.

Meanwhile, Samay Raina has announced a North American tour titled Samay Raina Unfiltered. Scheduled between February and early March, the tour includes 10 shows each in Canada and the US.
