TV shows that don't exist

Aging, bald Jet Li is, I believe, objectively adorable. He says he’s not going to do more martial arts stuff because spinal injuries but I am struck with the desire for a show where:
Tiny venerable Jet Li is like Lu Tze the Sweeper in the Discworld books, but is in the order of real world history monks and goes around with his idiot apprentice of the season/week righting wrongs and introducing us to important people and events in Chinese history. He has a broom and smiles a lot and never actively hurts anybody, but attacking him causes them to hurt themselves in choreographed ways. Jet Li can’t do much flipping about but it’d be totally forgivable for him to have a double do it, especially if we get clips at the end of him coaching his double himself. His idiot apprentice does most of the martial arts show and apprentice and double both change regularly so we see new performers in spotlighty spots all the time.
