These days a show titled Light on Hai, which is a copy of (sorry ‘inspired’) by the famous American programme, Whose Line is it, Anyway? can be seen on a local TV channel.

It has to be said that while some of the items on the gig do elicit genuine laughs, most of the content points at the fact that a shadow’s shadow can never be the same. What’s surprising is that the makers of Light on Hai (referring to the episode with VJ Ali Safina) totally forget or ignore the audience sitting behind the host of the show, Azfar Ali. While Azfar A is seen laughing his head off, one of the audience members behind him sits poker-faced. Actually, come to think of it, it is funny in itself!
