I really enjoy The Chair Company, but I honestly didn’t expect it to become so popular – I thought it would appeal to a much smaller audience. Its longer, ongoing format naturally limits how quickly it could spread, especially compared to the instantly shareable sketches of I Think You Should Leave. Is the show’s success simply due to Robinson’s popularity? Or do Robinson, Kanin, and the team have a knack for creating content that really sticks with you – those phrases (“Wake-y, wake-y, first day with the moooneyyy…”) and characters (Mike Santini, the late Ruben Rabasa from the “Focus Group” sketch) that burrow into your mind? It’s hard to say exactly why the show resonated so well, but however it happened, its renewal brings up a key question: how will the show maintain this momentum in a second season? Will the conspiracy expand internationally? Will Ron get a new case to solve?
