NTV's popular comedy show, Churchill Raw, has bid farewell to its audience after a successful run. The show, which aired every Thursday at 7:30pm, has been a staple of Kenyan entertainment for years.
Hosted by Jasper Murume, popularly known as MC Jessy, Churchill Raw has been a launching pad for many comedians, including DJ Shiti, who has risen to become one of the most sought-after stand-up comedians.

Churchill also took a moment to joke about DJ Shiti's growth, saying, 'DJ Shiti started off on Raw as Magazine doing standup comedy. We are proud of you. Let's face it, Sleepy David hajaongeza height ata kidogo…many years later (Sleepy David has not grown tall).'
MC Jessy also took to social media to share his gratitude, saying, 'It's been an amazing journey hosting Churchill Raw. The Churchill Raw family reunites as we air the season finale. As we restructure the show to bring you even better content, we just want to thank you for the amazing support that you've given us over the years.'
