The show's success and potential for a series run is a significant development for the ABC, which has faced criticism for its risk-averse programming in the past. But can this special's controversial content and bold hosting style translate into a full series? And what does this mean for the future of comedy on the ABC? The answer lies in the eyes of the viewers and the network's willingness to embrace risk and innovation.
