And Bruce offered to quarterback it, because he’s produced some shows. And then I think we had the shortest creative meeting ever, in Las Vegas, when we were there doing a comedy festival in November ‘08. So now we were writing new material, and it just felt like the door had opened to the idea of considering another project. And we liked the process of writing together. But we were writing a lot of new material, which we hadn’t done in prepping for a tour before, and the material clicked. And then we sort of reunited for Just for Laughs, I think the year before, in 2007. We had done a couple of shows in Los Angeles at the Steve Allen Theater. We did a tour in 2008, which I think was kind of a long time coming. How did the idea for this show come about? Vulture spoke with three fifths of the troupe - Mark McKinney, Dave Foley, and Scott Thompson - about why they returned to television, how they’ve matured (or not matured) over the years, and about the two members of the troupe not present to defend themselves. It’s a comic murder-mystery very much in the classic Kids in the Hall style: Each of the five troupe members plays multiple characters - many of them, of course, female - in the Canadian town of Shuckton, Ontario, where the grim reaper has set up shop. tonight on IFC, they return with the first two episodes of a new eight-part miniseries, Death Comes to Town.
The Kids in the Hall haven’t regularly appeared together on American airwaves since their cult-favorite sketch show signed off in 1994.
