The show, 'Comedy Nights Live' has been in the news consistently, courtesy the various controversies pertaining the channel, the supposed Krushna Abhishek-Kapil Sharma rivalry and other reasons.

The show did manage to earn decent TRPs against a lot of odds where it replaced Kapil's show, 'Comedy Nights With Kapil'. However, just four episodes old, the show seems to be getting into another fix already.

The show is hosted by Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh where they crack jokes and have fun with the celebrity guests. The format is similar to that of Kapil's show.

The episode past weekend had the Deol clan; Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol as guests where there was a gag performed by Bharti Singh with them.

The sketch involved Sunny and Bobby entering into opposite phone booths and Bharti would be the caller who calls the duo by turns. She would ask a trivial question to each one of them, and if the answer is wrong, one person would enter the booth of that of Deol. Soon, Bobby gave two-three wrong answers and saw almost six or seven people crowded with him in the booth.

The gag was certainly a funny one and got the audience laughing. However, one thing that can be assured is that it wasn't an original idea.

The sketch was apparently 'inspired' and was 'similar' to a sketch presented on Hollywood show, 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon'. This show is a massive hit in the west and also has a great viewership in India.

The show presented the same phone booth sketch a while ago with Jimmy being the caller and Hugh Jackman and Shaquille O' Neal being the respective guests.

Well, we don't know if it was 'inspired' or 'referred', but it is a surely uncanny 'coincidence' to say the least..!
