Samay Raina fans can't keep calm as India's Got Latent Clips returns to YouTube, ‘IGL will be back soon'
LiveMint could not independently verify the claim that the channel had 'returned' to YouTube since it could not be confirmed if it ever became private in the first place. It cannot be confirmed whether the channel is owned by Samay Raina or is a YouTube channel run by a fan.
When we checked, the channel had 522 videos. It also includes clips of members-only episodes.
Meanwhile, Samay Raina fans on Reddit have started celebrating the reported return. Many of them consider it a 'win' for the standup comedian.
'Sab Samay ka khel hai,' commented one user.
'Now that it has arrived, the Samay Raina channel will also return, right?' came from another.
Another user observed, 'I watched a few clips, they have beeped out most of the abuses it seems before making them public.'
However, not every fan thinks India's Got Latent will return.
'I don't think latent is gonna come back with all that has happened. No. Samay is very family-oriented and would not like his family to go through all that again. So, no,' wrote one user.
'He might start another show. Maybe, the podcast rumour is true and it was not just for ads but a way to show a glimpse,' the user added.
However, another user contradicted, 'I have insider info, IGL will be back! Soon! But not in ways many people are expecting.'
Samay Raina deleted all videos from his show India's Got Latent from YouTube after a major controversy involving guest Ranveer Allahbadia. Ranveer allegedly made 'inappropriate' comments on the show, which sparked backlash and led to multiple complaints across India.
Shortly after the backlash, Samay shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he had deleted all the videos. He clarified that his aim was to make people laugh, not offend anyone.
He admitted the situation had become too stressful to handle. With the videos gone, people wondered what would happen to the money earned from those videos.
YouTube's policy says that if a creator breaks the rules, the platform may take action and hold back payments. However, no such action is expected for users who delete their videos.
By removing all the episodes (or making them private) from the playlist, Samay Raina might have avoided YouTube's action against the violation of policies. He retained his channel to ensure visibility on YouTube and earn revenue in future.

TXT's Soobin wonders if he can ‘sell' BTS' J-Hope, older singer calls himself ‘pride of Gwanju'
BTS and their juniors at BIGHIT MUSIC, TOMOTTOW X TOGETHER, have always been very close and affectionate to each other. Ever since the latter's debut in 2019, the seniors have praised the five boys and received respect in return. For a new variety show, Idol Festa Attack, the quintet were required to sell zucchinis to their fans and invite them for a guerrilla concert-like segment. Held in Gwangju, where J-Hope was born and raised, the leader of the team, Soobin, reached out to the BTS member for advice to convince the citizens to attend their event. Hitting the nail right on the mark, the older star asked him to 'sell' his name for the deed, earning laughter from the viewers. J-Hope helps TXT with concert sales? Know how As a part of Mnet's new YouTube series called Idol Festa Attack, TXT was asked to sell tickets in the form of zucchinis to the unaware and unsuspecting citizens in the city of Gwangju. As word about the chart-topping team selling vegetables to gain audience at their concert spread, hilarity and surprise greeted them. Behind the scenes, the leader of the team took a chance at seeking help from his senior and was met with a loving response. First surprise came in the form of J-Hope's caller tune, which was set to his latest release at the time, Killin' It Girl, and as the rapper answered the call, an immediate flow of honey-dripping conversation flew. Addressing him as hyung-nim, Soobin asked how he could woo the Gwangju people. The BTS member emphasized his city's warm-heartedness and affection, and how its location in the South of the country meant delicious traditional Korean food would greet the singers there. He did not forget to mention how 'J-Hope is the pride of Gwangju', with the younger one agreeing to it. A fun exchange ensued when the TXT member asked, 'Would it be okay to 'sell' you a bit to the Gwangju citizens?' Not missing a beat, J-Hope said, 'You can sell me however you want,' much to the delight of Soobin. He then taught some satoori to the younger one and promised to buy some zucchinis from him at 990 KRW, ending with some words of support for the five boys.
