People do support some stage spectaculars yet, like Cats or Lion King or etc. So why couldn't you make a go of a holiday variety show? I wonder if the remote control has killed the genre? Used to be you would turn on the "special" and if one person in the family didn't like a particular part, they would wait through it until something they liked came on. With multiple-TV households and every set with remote control, they probably can't get the continuous viewing they used to, so ratings would be lousy. Plus, production takes money, not like just turning on the lights for an unscripted talk show. - - just a little speculation here
