greener pastures and KTN plans on offering just that to them!

MORE INTRIGUES in the world of comedy
"Obinna Declines to Host Churchill Raw as Kenya Kona
plans to Poach Underpaid Churchill Comedians Easy FM Comedian Obinna Ike Igwe
has refused to succeed MC Jessy Jasper as a host of Churchill Raw when the
second part of Churchill season 3 begins in August. MC Jessy, who has made
Churchill Raw bigger than Churchill Show is expected to host the remaining part
of Churchill Show as Churchill himself takes a back seat as a result of a huge
outcry about his depreciating sense of humour. Laugh industry has been shopping
for a host capable of filling Emcee Jessy’s big shoes. Obinna has refused to
take a break from his Easy FM show on thursday to be the new host. Emerging
details indicate that Eric Omondi’s brother, Fred Omondi could to take over as
the host of Churchill Raw, given his hosting experience at KTN Crazy comedy show.
Furthermore, KTN’s Kenya Kona is planning to strengthen itself by acquiring
underpaid comedians from the Churchill Raw. Malboro has already crossed to
Kenya Kona. A Kenya Kona artist earns almost 3 times better than a Churchill
Raw artist. For every stage performance, a Churchill Raw artiste earns 1000 and
a further 5000, if their act is aired on NTV. On the other hand, Kenya Kona
artiste is paid 8,000 for every stage performance and 12,000 when their act is
aired on KTN. All Kenya Kona artists perform twice a month and are assured of
having their acts aired at least twice a month. Churchill is paid a total of
1.4 million weekly by NTV for both Churchill Raw and Churchill Show as opposed
to the 500,000 that Kenya Kona gets from KTN weekly. Every weekly live
recording of Churchill show brings in at least 500,000 in gate collections
translating to 2 million a month with 125k going to the carnivore restaurant
per week. When added to the 5.6 million that he receives from NTV monthly, the
entire show makes nearly 8 million shillings a month. This leaves many
wondering why Churchill pays his
