This whole situation reminds me of how "The Daily Show" often shifted their content online, especially when dealing with political figures. It feels like late-night shows are really adapting to the times, just like when Jon Stewart would pivot to YouTube for segments that wouldn't fit the TV format. Honestly, I think more shows should take that plunge, some of the best moments live in those unfiltered spaces.
