ABC is rebooting the hit 1970s game show The Gong Show (the show that launched Goldie Hawn’s career), which is already exciting news! But there’s one little mystery that’s percolating the Internet.

You see, in the release announcing the news, it says that ABC tapped “British comedic legend” Tommy Maitland as the host, however, following the announcement there has been speculation that Tommy Maitland doesn’t exist, and that in fact it is MIKE MYERS!

Can this be true??

ABC has yet to confirm, of course, but The Hollywood Reporter strongly believe it’s the case.

“When Will Arnett came to me and asked me to host The Gong Show, I said, ‘I’m honoured at the request, but I’m retired,’” said Tommy Maitland in a statement. “Then he told me how much I was being paid, in U.S. dollars, and I said, ‘I’m still honoured, but no longer retired.’”

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE
