Hi folks,
I have a question about canonicity and an improv podcast that seems to exist to mess with canon.
Comedy Bang Bang is an improv podcast that hosts frequent guests, some of whom portray recurring characters, sometimes original or sometimes portraying fictional characters or fictionalized versions of real people.
One of the main conceits of the show is a core tenant of improv: Anything a guest says about their character is canon, not only within the canon of the podcast but also in the canon of their own source material and/or real life. Should the host Scott Auckerman's power "Anything that is said by anybody on his talk show or podcast becomes canon for them unless he specifically states otherwise" imply that he creates an AU where those things are canon, or should it be assumed that his power can impact the canon of the source material as well? Basically, should John Lennon (Yellow Submarine) be merged with John Lennon (Comedy Bang Bang)?
