Santa Singh is appearing on the KBC (Kaun Banega Crorepati, the TV quiz
show).
Amitabh Bachhan: Santa you’ve done very well so far - 50,00,000 and one
lifeline left - phone a friend, the next question will give you the first ever One Crore if you get it right, but if you get it
wrong you will be out of the game and drop to 3,20,000 - are you ready?"
Santa: “Sure I’ll have a go”
Amitabh Bachhan : “Which of the following birds does NOT build
it’s own nest? Is it: A-Robin, B-Sparrow, C-Cuckoo or D-Trush.
Remember Santa it’s worth 1 Crore.”
Santa: “I think I know who it… but I’m not 100%…no I haven’t got a
clue. Can I phone a friend please just to be sure?”
AB: “Yes Santa who do you want to phone?”
Santa: “I’ll phone Banta back home in Bhatinda.” (ringing)
Banta: “Hello…”
AB: “Hello Banta, Mein Amitabh Bachhan bol raha hoon KBC se, I have Santa here and he is doing really well on 50,00,000 but needs
your help to get the Crore. The next voice you hear will be Santa’s he’ll explain the question. There are 4 possible answers and 1
correct answer and you have 30 seconds to answer - aap ka samay ab shuru hota hai Santa.”
Santa: “Banta, which of the following birds does not build it’s own nest???. Is it: A-Robin, B-Sparrow, C-Cuckoo or D-Thrush!!!”
Banta: “Oh Praji that’s simple…Its a Cuckoo.”
Santa: “You think?”
Banta: “I’m sure.”
Santa: “Thanks Banta.” (hangs up)
AB: “Well do you want to stick on 50,00,000 or play on for first ever crore rupees Santa?”
Santa: “I want to play, I’ll go with C-Cuckoo.
AB: “Is that your final answer?”
Santa: Final answer!”
AB: “Confident?”
Santa: “Yes fairly, Banta’s a sound bet.”
AB: “Santa …you had 50,00,000 and you said Cuckoo - aur aap ek crore rupaiye jeet gaye hain . Here is your cheque - you have
been a great contestant and a real gambler - audience please put your hands together for Santa.” (clapping)
That night Santa calls Banta and brings him down to the bar to fill him full of drink and as they are sitting at the bar Santa turns to Banta and asks.
“Tell me Banta!!! How in Gods name did you know that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest, sure you know all about
birds???”
Banta: “O idiot Santa, everybody knows that a Cuckoo lives in a clock”!!!
