Jabardasth is an Indian Telugu-language sketch comedy television show produced by Mallemala Entertainments. It was conceived and directed by Sanjeev K Kumar, and later directed by Sanjeev's associates Nithin and Bharat. It was premiered on ETV on 7 February 2013.

The show was hosted by Anasuya Bharadwaj, and is now hosted by Siri Hanumanth. Initially judged by actor Nagendra Babu and actress Roja, Babu left the show in 2019 with singer Mano replacing him.[2] Jani and Sekhar have also appeared in the show as guest judges.

The show is popular among the Telugu audience,[3] but it is criticized for its obscene and problematic content.[4][5] An extended version of the show, Extra Jabardasth began airing in 2014.
