Like I said, KBC was for the masses with average or below average IQ. If it had been like what he used to do or like what Derek O'Brian used to do then I very much doubt the show would've been as successful even with AB hosting it because the questions would've been too tough for the common masses. :) And thats the reason I myself didn't like it as I found the questions to be too easy & sometimes even lame - hence a person like me wouldn't find it interesting. :( Yeah but he didn’t make KBC as per the quiz shows that he himself did.

As for quizzing shows, yeah the KBC & KAPPSTH were good. Infact I think I liked KBC much better when AB was the host. Not to diss SK, I like his acting over AB anyday, but in the TV show AB used to spin charm that SK was not able to match somehow. Other than that, one quiz show that was my all time favourite & which trumped all these quiz shows was the Bournvita Quiz Show that Derek O'Brian used to host & which used to air on sunday mornings. That was a real deal, the questions really used to stump the mind, forced to think & increased knowledge. KBC stuff was childish compared to that, for the common masses with average or below IQ & the only reason that was enjoyable was because of AB's style. Now I just stick to cartoons & movies, eh! ;) This is one reason actually why I stopped watching TV ages ago, nothing worthwhile was being aired, all this trash was being served repeatedly by all the channels!
