Further elaborating his statement, Dilip Joshi said that the show has suffered due to the focus shift in quantity. He added that initially, the show started off as a weekly show which gave writers enough time to think about the premise and the jokes. He further added that there used to be a gap of a month to write just 4 episodes due to which the jokes landed well. However, in recent times, Dilip Joshi said it is like a “factory” for the writers. He added that every day, writers have to find appropriate subjects. He sympathised with the writers of the show saying that they too are human beings and thus the pressure can be seen on them. He then explained that not all episodes can be of a certain level when one is writing for a daily show. However, Dilip Joshi agreed that certain episodes have not been up to the mark as far as humour is concerned.
