Sam Jam is an Indian Telugu-language talk show hosted by Samantha Ruth Prabhu.[1] Directed by Arun Seshkumar and created by Allu Aravind, the show premiered on 13 November 2020 on the streaming platform Aha.[2][3][4] It marks Samantha's second show as a host following the Telugu television reality series Bigg Boss 4.

Concept[edit]

Guests who have come to the show share various experiences of their own. Host Samantha asks various questions about their personal lives. Comedian Harsha Chemudu will be there along with Samantha and do some funny activities.[5] Anyone from the audience can ask a question to the guest. Also, Samantha asks a few things to the audience. In some episodes, talented artists from various fields perform their skills. Mini tasks will be conducted by Samantha, and the guests may win prizes.

Production[edit]

In the early 2020, producer Allu Aravind announced that a new talk show is about to launch on aha. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show got delayed. Finally, the show was officially announced on 6 November 2020.[6] A promotional press meet was held that day. Allu Aravind announced that Samantha is hosting the show, and B. V. Nandini Reddy will be the creative director of the show.[7]

Reception[edit]

While writing about the talk show, Karthik Keramalu of Film Companion stated that: "There’s a certain casualness and a sense of intimacy when a celebrity interviews another, and that seems to be the USP of many new talk shows in Telugu."[32] Sakshi Post criticized the show by opining that Sam Jam is mishmash of other several Telugu programmes like Bathuku Jatka Bandi, Ali tho Saradaga and Cash.[33]
