IDEA 'National Bingo Night' is a show that combines the energy and drama of a nationwide television event with an air of celebration that brings in together our Host Abhishek Bachchan's close celebrity friends, masti, music, along with the simplest and most interactive game in the world - 'Bingo' . Apart from lots of gup shup there will be two fast paced rounds of the number game Bingo played by the studio contestant or Abhishek's guests, driven by numbers drawn from the 'Bingo Bubble'. The studio audience meanwhile has to predict the numbers and match them with the tickets that will be handed out to them. This is a show where not only the studio contestant but also the television viewers will participate in real time and win lots of exciting prizes week on week. To add to the fun, the show has a 'Bingo Buddy' in the form of the cute-as-a-button Ali Asgar who keeps a check on all the 'Bingo Bombs' in the audience. 'Ali Baba' as he is fondly referred to by Abhishek Bachchan adds the 'Masti' to the whole episode in his various avatars.

Describing the show further was none other than the newest celebrity on the television block, Abhishek Bachchan said, "The sheer simplicity of the idea and the fact that this show is highly interactive is what attracted me to it. Winning here is easy, you need not answer any difficult questions or perform any strenuous physical tasks. The idea is simple- leave behind all your worries, relax and enjoy. It's all about making your Saturday nights entertaining right in the comfort of your own home!"
