Kimmel was asked on Watch What Happens Live about the viability of The Man Show in these more sensitive times. "Yes, I think not only would it be possible, but I think it would be more popular than it ever was," Kimmel said, adding that he would never want to be personally with The Man Show again. Kimmel added: "There's a certain portion of society that is outraged by the outrage. I think they would probably find it to be exhilarating."

I'd say we need this show in 2020. Most of us are sick of our entertainment lecturing us and treating men as if we have no right to anything culturally to call our own anymore.

The Man Show you could say, hit the tail end of when that kind of show could have flourished. So much happened in the early 2000s culturally/politically that it was very out of place when it finally died.

But I would say the blow back to political correctness means The Man Show could catch on if given a chance.
