The King is Dead is a 2010 British comedy show created, written by, and starring Simon Bird.
Each week on The King Is Dead a well-known public figure was hypothetically bumped off.
It was down to the comedic interview panel, led by Simon Bird, to find a replacement.
Three celebrities compete in an interview process in a bid to prove they are the best applicant for the available job.
The show was cancelled in October 2010 after it was panned by critics and received low ratings.
