Makes me think of Jordan Peele jumping from MAD TV/Key & Peele -> Get Out, Us, Nope pretty weird when get our first was being advertised and you see Jordan Peele’s name on the trailer I kept going “the same Jordan Peele!?” Some people are just multi faceted talents

I think you are missing a big component of Korean culture and many eastern cultures generally speaking. Honor and respect are very important to them. Many contestants when given the opportunity to choose an opponent selected someone they thought would be a fair match. Many also felt pity and empathy for beating a contestant who was at an obvious disadvantage in a given game. Winning isn't everything to them.

I assure you, 80s and 90s kids content boom was long dead before youtube, netflix, streaming, or any of this other stuff came about, instead those were the beneficiaries of their demise on broadcast as they could pickup shows cheap and many networks would offer kids content streaming free on their websites, as their value was basically zero on the network

He went to Princeton (he was Ted Cruz's Freshman roommate, who he famously hated) so he's obviously a smart guy.

Also in addition to the credits you see on his imdb, he did a lot of script doctoring, and developed a reputation for being able to come in and fix scripts last minute. That gave him a ton of cred within the industry.
