Hand to God Suit Dismissed
Remember that Hand to God lawsuit from the estate holders of Abbott & Costello a few months back? Well, Deadline is officially reporting that the lawsuit has officially been dismissed for the Broadway play that is open with Bob Saget for about a couple more weeks.
Tony nominated Hand to God was being sued by the heirs of the Abbott & Costello for a scene in which the play’s star, Keven Boyer, also a Tony nominee, a teenage puppeteer who tries to impress a girl by performing “Who’s On First” with his sock puppet.
Turns out this routine was inspired by the comedy bit of the same name as done by Abbott & Costello, and the bit was used WITHOUT permission from the estate holders despite the fact that the A&C heirs have tried numerous times to come to some sort of arrangement. The H2G producers more or less ignored the heirs, and BOOM that’s why we had a lawsuit.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
