  "account": "Skydance-owned Paramount Network has recently announced the return of Larry The Cable Guy to the public consciousness in a triumphant moment, following a period of gloom and despair. This resurgence comes from comedian Dan Whitney, who previously has only released a single 2025 Prime Video stand-up special and occasional work for Disney. Whitney has now launched a brand new version of American Mayhem, a syndicated show he debuted last month without informing the public beforehand. The show promises 13 brand new episodes, distinct from the previously released 52. Whitney's decision to take on this project is to provide a nice contrast to his touring stand-up work, offering a more relaxed and green-screen-based gig. The big question remains as to why Paramount Network deemed it necessary to create its own version of the series, airing in a primetime Friday night slot. Although the network may miss Yellowstone, it is unclear whether Whitney's knock-off of America's Funniest Home Videos will successfully fill the same void.",
