I cannot fathom what could be fun about that.

I don't know why you'd ever put money into something like that. Anyone working on the show will know the answer
Fun to lose to insiders on the production team?
> Will Conan lead an extravagent musical number at the Emmys?

Does the lamentations of women count as a musical number?

Kinda legal insider trading, I guess.
I mean, what's fun about my specific example? Guaranteed money.
Conan hosted the Oscars.
By that definition all terrible aspects of the concept are the same as the fun.
