Okay, so maybe that headline is a bit harsh.
But honestly: Washed-upR&B crooner Brian McKnight is getting his own weekly variety show?
Hell, Montell Jordan?

Or wait: Maybe these folks will just be the guests on McKnights show.
That actually sounds about right in context.
Truly, my uneasiness about this news comes from a place of love and concern.
I respect Brian McKnight.
Anytime was one of my jams in high school.
The guy has a discography that goes on for days, if not weeks.
(Another gem: Back at One.)
I was a fanback in the day.
Repeat:Back in the day.
Like, nearly 10 years ago.
The show is set to feature comedians, musicians, and entertainers.
The only thing that quells my fears about this truly bad ideais that its weekly and its syndicated.
Oh, the delusion.
And, oh, if it were only 1999.
Whens the last time you eventhoughtabout Brian McKnight?
And a larger question: Do you think its worth trying to even revive the variety format?
And is Brian McKnight really the person to do it?
