Churchill acknowledged the current challenges facing the country and the vital role of comedy in offering much-needed relief.
"I think we are going through a very interesting season as a country and there is a need to release that stress. There may not be much to celebrate but there's something about the show. The show is a ministry and so every time it's there on TV, it brings joy," he noted.
The show's return is scheduled for July 13th, at 8 p.m. and Churchill assured viewers of a revamped experience with numerous new segments.
"It starts this 13 July and TV will not be the same again. There are a lot of segments and you will see it back," he promised.
