MacKenzie Scott Donates $80 Million To Reboot ‘Living Single’

LOS ANGELES—In a move that has drawn widespread praise, billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott reportedly donated $80 million Tuesday to reboot Living Single. “It’s inspiring and refreshing to see an ally who’s not just talking the talk, but walking the walk,” said Living Single fan Melanie Parker, who noted that the need for the reboot of the ’90s sitcom was an initiative that had been ignored by politicians and other leaders for a long time. “Since the gift is unrestricted, that means the show’s producers can use the money however they like, whether they want to remake the series with a brand-new cast or pay for CGI antiaging technology so the series can pick up in 1998 right where it left off. It’s really incredible. She didn’t even ask for an executive producer credit.” Parker added that the donation couldn’t have come at a more crucial time, especially with all the funding the Trump administration was redirecting toward Friends.
