I really hope there is either a major Gandhi twist gag reveal...or at least a throwaway joke, never to be heard of again.

For those who don't know, India protested MTV for casting Gandhi in their TV series, prompting MTV to kill the show.

I've seen the leaked first episode. There is a quick Gandhi reference and I could see them never referencing him again

They just briefly show that he got left behind and is still frozen.

I guess even after 20 years, they didn't grow a spine

Speaking, of course, from your extensive experience in the practicalities of TV production and dealing with executives.

The version where they grew a spine is the one that never got greenlit.

So they have a final "fuck you" ready to pull on the final episode or just dont care about India's thoights anymore. Good to hear.

If they leave it at that then clearly the show will be complete garbage, he was the best part of the entire show. Plus if him being Gandhi's clone offended people they could have easily just said "Scudworth fucked up he's not Gandhi he's some random other guy that vaguely resembles Gandhi".

I think that was the plan originally when the India stuff was going down, he was going to turn out to be a clone of Gary Coleman

Yeah, I remember Jesus Cristo. I think they found him in shop class doing some woodworking

Yup and Julius Ceaser reminds him, “Be careful with that nail gun, Jesus.” 😂

Gandhi was a racist, pedophile though.

Although this is true, I’m sure it will be downvoted to hell

They tried to get around it by him actually being Gary Coleman all along and that's hilarious
