I'm thinking of a specific real person or fictional character. Let's see if you can guess who it is!
CURRENT PRIZE VALUE: Ṁ500
Rules:
At market closing time (and not before), if someone has added the person I'm thinking of to the market, it will resolve to the person. If the person I'm thinking of has not been added to the market, the closing time will be extended for another week.
Each user can ask one yes/no question in the comments every 8 hours, and I will try to answer in a timely manner. The answers I give will be limited to "yes," "no," and "unknown."
If your question does not follow the parameters I've set, or if it has too much gray area/a simple "yes" or "no" would be misleading, I will reply with "rephrase." You do not have to wait 8 hours to rephrase your question.
I may refuse to answer meta questions ("has the person already been added to this market," "does the person’s name have X number of letters," etc.) at my discretion.
If you have a guess for who I'm thinking of, add your answer to the market. (I will not answer point-blank questions along the lines of "is it this specific person.") You may add as many answers as you like; initial liquidity is low to facilitate addition of answers.
The user who adds the correct answer will receive a prize upon resolution of the market. The prize starts at Ṁ500 and decreases by Ṁ100 each time the market closing time is extended, with a minimum prize value of Ṁ100.
I will not bet in this market.

@traders Congratulations to @LyetKynes for adding the correct answer in 5 d 15 hr! The Ṁ500 prize has been sent.
The next iteration of this game is now up:
@TheSchwa Does the show have a structure similar to that of a sitcom, where the action and storylines primarily serve to set up gags, jokes, and humorous incidental interactions between the characters, as opposed to a show where the viewer appeal is driven primarily or heavily by the advancement of a linear dramatic plot, with humor only as a side element that enhances enjoyment of the plot?
Examples of shows that would count as comedies under these criteria: Rick and Morty, SpongeBob, Teen Titans Go
Examples of shows that would not be comedies under this criteria, although they have humorous elements: Avatar: TLA, the original Teen Titans, My Adventures With Superman
@ookina_inu Another good litmus test is: does the show build towards a natural story-driven climax and stopping point, where the arc or conflict is considered “resolved,” or is it more of a thing where you could imagine it going on indefinitely as long as the writers don’t run out of ideas
