They’re kidding right? They seriously expect this to succeed? The new regulars are no where near as popular as the old regulars when Lincoln was airing. Not even close. Not to mention a lot of Lincoln’s humor derived from the individual quirks of many of the regulars.
You are probably misperceiving how popular the members of the Lincoln cast were at the time because of how popular they got after the show.
Downtown were the exception, they were definitely more popular than the other members at the time. The new cast has Kamaitachi, I would define them as skilled but they are nowhere close to how popular Downtown were at the time, what surprises me is that they didn't chose Chidori as leaders, probably they are way too busy to start another program.
I don’t know, Kamaitachi is usually near the top of the popular geinin rankings - they were 5th in I think the last Wednesday’s Downtown ranking, and the only other young group in the top 5 was Chidori at 3rd. They probably couldn’t book Chidori for it, but Kamaitachi is likely close to an even draw…
