Overview[]
Overview on Carl Cohen, TV Show and daughter
Carl Cohen was a 58 year old actor who played the role in a Comedy show named after him. The show focused more on social awareness which was pitched as an adult soap opera comedy show for over the top savvy Americans. The show was about the struggles of Carl and his daughter Ariel taking place both in their house and at a family dinner. The show's plot was an analogy to Agent 47's relationship to Victoria. Sadly animating the show became costly to produce.
As the animated portion of the Carl Cohen show was scrapped, an associate producer came up with the idea of it being a sock puppet show. They even went as far as buying actual sock puppets to film and create the show. Unfortunately as stated before the team didn't have enough time on their hands to create it.
Fate[]
Most of the scripts and concepts of the show turned into another scrapped idea, the Gregorian Cube. The cube was product placement in the game and was even given a fully rendered model (As seen in the introduction of the Carl Cohen show image) however was scrapped before the final release of the game.
Trivia[]

- No rendered models of Carl Cohen or Ariel were ever released however a sock puppet of Carl can be seen.
