While everyone is looking back at 2016, E! is looking even further at 2006. In the spirit of From G’s to Gents, the network is developing a series in which a bunch of canceled celebrities are brought together in one house to help rehabilitate their reputations. Just what we needed. The working title is Becoming Uncanceled, reports The Ankler. “You can think about the kind of people we’re talking about — not criminals — who might need to redeem themselves in front of America,” Versant‘s entertainment president Val Boreland explained. “I don’t know if you could out rule a politician, but again, this isn’t to be salacious about criminal activity. It’s supposed to be more fun with a little of the serious nature of getting themselves back on track.” Usually, when someone gets “canceled,” it’s not for easily forgivable reasons. Former Try Guy Ned Fulmer has already tried it with his podcast Rock Bottom. Either way, we might have a suggestion for someone probably looking into PR rehab, in case they’re open to suggestions.
