Churchill is truly an ambitious man and no amount of bashing from Ezekiel Mutua can bring him down.
Just this week Churchill Show suffered a major blow when it had a run in with KFCB’s Ezekiel Mutua who came out to condemn the show for allegedly airing explicit content which had no place in a modern Kenya.
This was received with mixed reactions from Kenyans with majority coming out to support of Ezekiel who was motivated to take a stern action against the show. We’re yet to know what will happen to the show but he later came out to state that Churchill had called him to apologize and thus he would be a bit lenient on him.
The explicit drill by Zeddy which drove the internet into a frenzy
It seems however Churchill is not a man to take a hit lying down…Churchill Show might have suffered a setback but the hustle must continue.
Yesterday he went to announce his clothing business, Churchill Clad would be hitting the stores soon proving beyond reasonable doubt you can’t bring down an ambitious man.
Just earlier on today, they were in support of Ezekiel Mutua when he made the ultimate decision to ban Churchill from airing on NTV.
He was allegedly vexed by the adult jokes which he termed as a stupid and horrible prank, 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.
This statement was supported by many Kenyans who thought Kenyans had taken it too far.
Ezekiel took this support to maintain his position and not even a call from Churchill himself was going to make him change his decision.
It seems however Kenyans were not very genuine in supporting Ezekiel. Whilst they were up in arms on his facebook page, they were also supporting Zeddy on hers applauding her for her creativity and boldness.
You rock were some of the encouraging words that came her way as Kenyans urged her to produce more of such episodes.
Now that leaves me in a cliffhanger…what exactly do Kenyans want.
Ezekiel Mutua has stand his ground despite Churchill apologizing for last night’s horror; the Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) CEO maintains that Churchill Show must be punished.
For starters, Sunday March 5th 2017 episode of Churchill Show was hijacked by obscene jokes that sparked uproar from Kenyans.

Churchill, who had maintained that the jokes were just creativity, has since eaten the humble pie. Ezekiel Mutua has revealed the comedy king called him to apologize.
The KFCB boss disclosed that he has forgiven Churchill on a personal level, he encouraged him to use last night’s blunder to rebrand and make Churchill Show the family program it’s supposed to be.
“I have received a call from Mwalimu King’ang’i this morning regarding the unfortunate episode of the Churchill Show last night. He has apologised and taken full responsibility and requested that I pull down my post. I do so in good faith and in reciprocity for the mature manner in which he has handled the matter. I do so because I believe people make mistakes and learn from them. We all know the contribution of Mwalimu King’ang’i in developing talent in Kenya. We salute him for his outstanding contribution and hope that he will use last night’s blunder to rebrand and make Churchill Show the family program it’s supposed to be. All programs airing between 5am and 10pm should be suitable for family viewing. Churchill Show is not any other program. This has been the top stand-up comedy show in the region for years. It’s a family show that builds talent and brings laughter to our sitting rooms. To allow the pathetic adult jokes that have come to characterise it lately is unfortunate.” Wrote Mutua in part.

The no nonsense KFCB boss has however refused to expunge sanctions against Churchill Show, he explained that the decision is meant to ensure that the mistake is not repeated.
“While at a personal level I accept the apology the Board will pursue this matter to ensure the mistake is not repeated and will mete the necessary sanctions on the Show. Our message to you Churchill is simple: You are talented. You are a mentor to many. Mungu amekutoa mbali. Please don’t use your talent to corrupt the moral values of our children. Give us clean content. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE OBSCENE TO BE POPULAR!”
