Is the host of the new 'Gong Show' really Mike Myers?

No one involved with the reboot of The Gong Show will admit it, but it seems Mike Myers (in a heavy prosthetic disguise) is playing Tommy Maitland, the show's 'British' host.

Ian Crouch of The New Yorker writes:

Yet there is a reason to watch, if only to attempt to make some sense of the shows host, a rakish late-middle-aged British comedian named Tommy Maitland, who bounds onstage on the first show wearing a tuxedo and a montera (a bullfighters cap), and tosses out such catchphrases as Whos a cheeky monkey? and Youve got no proof. Though the audience appears familiar with him, Maitland is not a real person. He is, beneath an accent and a prosthetic mask, Mike Myersthough nowhere in the shows promotional materials is his name mentioned.

The show, which is executive produced by Will Arnett, premiered last night on ABC.https://youtu.be/e64HSt6HsJI
