Perhaps I'm reading this article incorrectly, but I read the below articles as Fremantle was licensing the format from Hatos-Hall.  In 2021, a couple business execs bought Hatos-Hall and the IP rights that went with it.

LMAD has become such a freak show under Fremantle, it's unwatchable IMO.

BrandonFG:
What are your gripes. I watched it at the gym a few weeks ago, and it's clunky in some areas but mostly inoffensive IMO. Wasn't Monty a consultant up until his death?

Watch a show hosted by Monty and one hosted by Wayne. If you can't tell the differences, I don't think it'll do much good to try to explain them to you.

BrandonFG:
I mean...I've openly acknowledged that Monty was brilliant because he was a used car salesman who could charm you into buying that lemon. Wayne doesn't play that up nearly as much, and I think it's similar to Drew in that neither want to be a carbon copy of the host whose shoes they want to fill.

There's things I'd do differently with the show but the essence is still there.
