Social Distancing with an Expert
Apparently, during the pandemic, the Peacock channel had a program called At Home Variety Show with Seth Macfarlane. I know nothing more about it -- even if they're still doing shows or not -- other than it was done in conjunction with Universal.
However, I came across a fun sketch that sprung from an really wonderful idea -- What if Monk was around during the pandemic and had to quarantine? And they were able to not only get Tony Shaloub to re-create his character, but other characters from the series, as well. I won't say who, that's part of the fun.
I was a fan of the show -- and still occasionally watch it in reruns -- so this was a particular treat. The end credits list several writing credits, but how many of those were for Monk only and how many for the opening and closing segments, I don't know, but one of the writing credits is for Andy Breckman, who created the series.
What's particularly weird is that I saw the video yesterday, May 11, and it was dated May 11 -- except on closer look it was May 11, 2020.
