Drama! NTV takes Churchill Show off air over disturbing sex jokes… Then Ezekiel Mutua and Churchill clash and most Kenyans support Mutua
Last Sunday March 5th, Churchill Show aired on NTV for 25 minutes only; the otherwise family comedy show was full of moral decay and Ezekiel Mutua and Kenyans in general couldn’t stomach it.
Churchill Show last night degenerated into a sex talk show causing uproar among Kenyans; Kenya Film and Classification Board CEO, Ezekiel Mutua, was the first to raise the alarm. He took a swipe at Churchill over what he termed as blatant moral decency.
“A stupid and horrible prank on Churchill Show. An unfortunate idiotic and foul drill, totally in bad taste, lacking in imagination and possibly the evidence of the beginning of the end of an era. That prank plus the idiotic meru-accident-laden village wag’s sex talk disguised as bicycle ride is against the Programming Code for Free-to-air radio and television services in Kenya. Any celebrity who makes money by pushing dirty content is no better than the corrupt politicians looting our country. It’s impunity and it’s wrong!” Ezekiel Mutua posted on Facebook.
Most Kenyans were not pleased with Zeddy’s prank and Jasper’s sex jokes. In the prank, Zeddy terribly insulted a ‘fan’ whom she claimed was a deadbeat dad, she used very crude words that annoyed the audience.
On the other hand, Jasper’s silly sex jokes also vexed viewers, he was talking about ‘sex styles’ which was deemed offensive by some people.
NTV had to take Churchill Show off air just 25 minutes after the show started airing; the show went on a commercial break and never came back. NTV instead aired adverts and a documentary until 9pm when they brought prime time news.
Churchill responded to Ezekiel Mutua’s bashing of last night’s show; surprisingly he didn’t apologize but instead said that creativity was under attack.
“When creativity is at it’s best, you’ll get all manner of things thrown along your path, to distract you, to instill fear, and to bring you down……. Jobs come and go, but TALENT and CREATIVITY is God given. Either way, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Asanta and Barakaaaaa #Churchillshow #creativity,” Churchill wrote on social media.
Below are some of the reactions from Kenyans after last night’s episode of Churchill Show:
Ngugi Isaac: Everyone is talking about Churchill live show prank.Personally I have never melted down to the meru-accent-laden village wag’s jokes as Ezekiel Mutua calls them,that to me has been the most dry joke that hardly moves my ribs,I see people laughing there and believes we all made differently.I didn’t even know Churchill live has degenerated into a sex talk show,I can now believe Churchill is a good student of Maina Mageni,it’s only on Churchill show that a pastor Kanyari and Paul Kuria can emerge from Woodwork and talk carelessly as if religious matters are so casual.
Bure Kabisa!
Lucy M Blessed: Hello Churchill please hear me out as ur fan a mother and a Christian. Today’s show was so much for a young mind like my son’s. Well we had to send him for some errands when mca was performing and then Zeddy. Please consider the contents before airing and consider young kids for they really love you. I love the earlier shows on maisha magic. Thanks

Denis Miriti: Hio show imekuwa down sana..a number of comedians ni amateur. They have to prepare well before appearing in the stage. Maintain the standards set by your predecessers before you lose the crowd.
