In the sequel series, [Tim Allen] is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can’t be Santa forever. He’s suddenly starting to lose his Santa magic, and more important, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the North Pole. With a lot of elves, children and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa
Kal Penn will play Simon Choksi, an ambitious game inventor and product developer and a devoted single father. Simon can talk the tech-mogul talk but can’t walk the walk, and his dreams of being the next Bezos falls drastically short. But all that changes after a visit to the North Pole.
If you’re familiar with the movies, Tim Allen’s Santa’s real name was “Scott Calvin”, initials S.C.
Scott Calvin = Simon Choksi = SC = Santa Claus
Kal Penn is also gay… so you can bet Disney is gonna make a “Mr. & Mr. Claus”. This is unreal.
The plot of a well intentioned but otherwise overly rough around the edges divorced man learning how to have people not just rely on him but celebrate him is a spectacular message, especially in the face of the cultural shifts of the 90's. "I wanna be Bezos, I wanna be Zuck, I wanna billion dollars but I caaaan't." Sounds like the worst of Tom Haverford from Parks and Rec except as the protaganist instead of a whiny side character who exists to be contrasted against far more strong masculine figures, and in the end he's going to learn that money is useless don't own anything just kill whitey and you'll be happy.
