Guests who have come to the show share various experiences of their own. Host Samantha asks various questions on their personal life. Comedian Harsha Chemudu will be there along with Samantha and do some funny activities.[5] Anybody from the audience can ask a question to the guest. Also, Samantha asks few things to the audience. In some episodes, talent artistes of various fields perform their skills. Mini tasks will be conducted by Samantha and the guests may win prizes

Reception[edit]

While writing about the talk show, Karthik Keramalu of Film Companion stated that: "There’s a certain casualness and a sense of intimacy when a celebrity interviews another, and that seems to be the USP of many new talk shows in Telugu."[31] Sakshi Post criticized the show by opining that Sam Jam is mishmash of other several Telugu programmes like Bathuku Jatka Bandi, Ali tho Saradaga and Cash.[32]
