I mean, I think that... I think that when you look at people who make choices that people call brave or good or bold, you have to look at their assessment of fear and what they're jumping into. I didn't feel like in leaving The Daily Show, I was jumping into anything that I hadn't already been in before. I've swam in these waters.

What, career uncertainty, not sure what's next, trying to figure it out. Yeah, I know those waters really well. I've been in this place, but every other time I was in those waters, I was pushed in the pool. So I can look around here and I can go, okay, there is no host. Hasan Minhaj is out. You don't know when or what. This is before John. I left before John Stewart was even a rumor.

So John Stewart returning. I mean, so, huh. Well, if you don't know what the fuck. I could stay for a little while, but eventually it's going to be what the fuck. Yeah. And I don't know. I should probably start thinking about what I want to do next. Yeah. Because if I'm not careful, and keep in mind, but keep in mind, at that time, that show had no host.

Correspondents were guest hosting, which was working fine for the ratings.

Yeah. Fine. But this company's in a merger. What if you merge and you don't want to do this show no more? And don't tell me that that's not a possibility. Oh, the show has been on. It's an institution. All these shits is institutions. Until they're not. Anything's possible. Until they're not. 1230 on CBS was an institution. That's right.

And then you're like, no, we're not going to spend that kind of money anymore. We'll do something that's cool and affordable. And we'll do after midnight. Yeah, cool. So what is what is. What is bulletproof when you're in an era where they will shoot a 30 million, a 50 million, a 100 million dollar movie and not even release that bitch? It's crazy because it does not make sense. Wow.

So that's fucking expendable. So anything is fucking possible. So now was that understanding of the landscape and you're on a show that and then you're looking at everything that's going on with media companies imploding. We're making less shows. We're laying off people. The writers just ended. We're going to pay writers more. But to offset it, we're going to make less shows.
