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.
So the younger generation of comedians should just, what, do nothing?
I didn't realize the younger generation's only options were "do nothing" and "rip off an existing show". I guess originality was never an option.
A broadcasting company relaunching a show that hasn't been on in 10 years is not ripping off an existing show lol.
I hate to ruin the illusion, but a lot of variety shows aren't actually created by the people who perform in them.
