If Laugh-In were a show today...

Husk, the DVDs are GREAT! Well worth buying.

...and there's this red-headed gal on the second box set that looks AND sounds exactly like Kristin Chenoweth. Same face, same voice, same timing... but she's got red hair.

...and that's what got me thinking about a modern Laugh-In.

If it touched on all the politics of today, PLUS featured singing and dancing, with guest stars from music, movies, famous authors (Truman Capote was just on the episode I was watching!), sports, etc., I think it might work.

They would NEVER run it prime time though. It would be on late night, and compete with SNL or Mad TV.

*sigh*

My choices for hosts? I'm thinking Jimmy Kimmel for some reason. Plus...

Jo Anne Worley could still do it.

It would never get on the air or if it did it would be cancelled almost immediately for low rating as it 80's revival was.

It was a product of its time & premiered when it did perfectly. It would never work today. For one thing, too many people would be offended. Ditto for All In The Family.
