Despite "The Man Show" receiving scrutiny in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Jimmy Kimmel believes the Comedy Central show, which he co-created and starred in alongside Adam Carolla, would thrive if it was on TV today.
"I think not only would it be possible, I think it would be more popular than it ever was," said Kimmel of the series on Monday's "Watch What Happens Live" after Cohen asked if the show, which was designed to celebrate and criticize the loutish male perspective, would be positively perceived in 2019.
"There's a certain portion of society that is outraged — behind the outrage — and I think they would probably find it to be exhilarating," he explained, touching on the recent backlash.
He added that he would not participate in the series if it was rebooted.
