Best Bollywood Celeb as a TV Show Host?

A lot of Bollywood celebs are turning to the small screen either to increase their star power or to revive their sagging careers. Here's a List of the most prominent shows on TV. Who among the following is your personal Favorite and Who according to you is the worst. Add names if i left out someone.

The Post is about Hosts and not judges - so don't come up with names like Madhuri, Rani, Karisma, etc.

Salman Khan: The Darling of the masses, Salman made a very successful debut on the Indian Television Screen with the show ‘Dus ka Dum’ with its first two seasons. Almost all his friends made special appearances on the show to show their support to this superstar. But Salman’s major success as a host came when the show ‘Bigg Boss- Season 4’ got very high TRPs and they are considering him to host its next season too.

Karan Johar: Probably the most scandalous show ever, Koffee with Karan is Karan Johar’s brainchild. Known for his impeccable sense of humor, wit and sarcasm, Karan managed to give the tabloids enough fodder to spice up their front pages with the catfights and celebs taking digs at each other on his show. So we have Priyanka and Kareena making nasty comments at each other and Sonam and Deepika ganging up against poor Ranbir Kapoor. After 3 successful seasons, Koffee with Karan is a Brand in itself.

Amitabh Bachchan: Amitabh Bachchan was clearly not in his best phase of Life or career when ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ happened to him in 2000. He was going through a financial crunch, but this show proved to be his best bet. The first season of the show was a huge hit with him being paid a whopping amount for the next one. He is back as the host for the show after being replaced by SRK in its Third season. He also hosted Bigg Boss-Season 3.

Akshay Kumar: Known for his action hero image, Fear Factor India choosing Akshay Kumar as their host for their show, Khatron ke Khiladi, came as no surprise. The first two seasons of the show did very well and then later Priyanka Chopra replaced him in the third. In the mean time, Akshay also hosted Master Chef India which turned out to be a dud. Now, he is back to reclaim his title of 'Khiladi Kumar' as he is once again hosting KKK season 4.

Preity Zinta: The latest entrant, Priety’s show ‘Guiness World Records: Ab India Todega’ started off at a very high note with Good TRPs. But gradually, the show lost its charm.

Priyanka Chopra: She replaced Akshay Kumar on the show KKK and hosted its third season. The show didn’t get the expected TRPs or the response and probably that’s why she is replaced with Akshay Kumar again in its Fourth season.

Shahrukh Khan: Shahrukh Khan quite didn’t impress everyone as a TV Host, as all the 3 shows he has hosted for so far, didn’t turn out as expected. He debuted with KBC- Season 4, replacing Big B, but the show didn’t garner the same response as one would have expected to (probably because it was difficult to fill in Big B’s shoes). The performance of ‘Kya Aap Panchvi Pass Se Tez hai’ was below average and that of ‘Zor ka Jhatka’ was disastrous.

Farhan Akhtar: Farhan’s debut as a TV Host was rather forgettable, as his show ‘oye, it’s Friday’ performance was rather dismal.

Abhishek Bachchan: Probably the worst show ever, Abhishek as the Host of the game show ‘Bingo’ was bad and so was the show. The only advice to him is that please think 10 times before you sign in for such a show.
