The first episode aired on November 19, 2004 and the first season ended on May 27, 2005. The show had been put on hold due to Johar's commitment to his next directorial project, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006).

The winner receives a coffee hamper. Sometimes the show includes opinions from members of the public.

Regular Segments:
Rapid Fire
The segment involves Johar asking a volley of questions to the guest, in which they have to answer as quickly as possible. The questions usually involve making choices between two options or just giving a straight answer. Johar usually forces the guest to choose one option of the two he presents.
The Lie-O-Meter
Johar uses a bleep, which he calls the Lie-O-Meter, to indicate if he thinks the guest is lying. The Lie-O-Meter was mostly used in season one.
Opinions
Sometimes the show features a segment which allows the guest to see and hear other people's opinions. They may come from the general public or even people within the industry itself.
