For me it's most often anime that gets me to read the manga. Most recently I watched the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen and immediately went to read the manga after. Likewise for Chainsawman, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer and also comics like Invincible

I think it turned into a travel TV show like his Conan without borders stuff. So it will likely take awhile to film

>“When I travel, people say they just saw the one where I went to Korean spa and they saw my whole body and now can’t unsee it. It’s really nice… I would like to add more foolishness to that mountain.”

Quote from a year ago on his progress on the show. So Feb 2022 he hadn't even had more than some fleeting ideas for the show.

But given he's off in Europe somewhere right now. It's probably turned into this.

Justified got me to read a ton of Elmore Leonard.

The Clooney Catch-22 and the Tennant Around the World in 80 days convinced me to finally read those classics.

They’re not the source material, but I liked Fargo, Legion, and The Unusuals enough to read all of Noah Hawley’s novels.

Also, since I’m not talking source material, I will admit to having read every book with a Quantum Leap title and far too many Star Trek books. Many of them were glorified fanfic with an ISBN number, but there were high points.
