They replaced Gary Coleman with someone named Job.

I read a few weeks ago they were trying to find someone that british people would find funny. Is Job someone in british media history that follow's gary coleman's story arc?

From what I have gathered- no. I was under the assumption that they just wanted it to be a black man who had the same problems as Gary. They thought the British wouldn't get the reference.
