It first aired on 11 June 2014 on Nasim channel. The program is focusing on showing that there shouldn't be any reason to laugh. We can laugh to have fun and to make ourselves happy and healthy.

Khandevane is the combination of two Persian words; "Khande" meaning "laugh" and the last part of the word "watermelon" which is "Hendevane" (-vane). The reason why the name is chosen like this is that Iranians have a reputation for getting together, specially in summer, and having fun while having watermelon.

The host of the program is Rambod Javan and Nima Shaeban Nejad and a doll (Jenab Khan) participating in it as actors.
