I wonder if Larson meant this as a Krofft brothers reference.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Yeap, I was going to suggest that the runaways went on to produce such fine masterpieces as Sigmund and Cha-Ka & friends.
this could be a fun premise for a comedy where a couple of circus performers perform their way up the corporate ladder with their folksy wisdom and bravery. kinda like Being There about the gardener.
This is similar to an old joke about former British Prime Minister John Major. His father had been a circus performer, so it was aid that "he'd run away from the circus to become an accountant".
