You're making for the most part, you're making tomorrow's Internet today.

So how do you make this more relevant in the now?

There's not a lot of live TV events that I think people clamor for that are non-sports.

I would say the White House Correspondents Dinner, that's still a relevant live thing.

Yeah, but the Correspondents Dinner, nobody was in my way.

And I had my team of writers who understood me.

So I think that's, you know, I think that's a degree of what you need.

But I think I think networks and I think talent are both trying to predict what late night will truly look like on the other side of the strike.

And then that's when the good ideas are going to flow.

I don't think The Daily Show is going to go anywhere, regardless of whether or not I'm the host.

But it is going to creatively evolve.

It has to or it will die the same as any other show that can evolve.

it has to physically evolve.

Like that's just, but this is what you're looking at, right?

This is your light in the end of the tunnel coming around me over.

I'm not looking and going, Ooh, I might get the host is going.

If I don't figure out how to fix that show and do, I need to come up with an idea that it's me.

That is affordable that I can do every day.

That doesn't stress me the fuck out.

That's also funny and poignant and fresh enough that people would want to watch it on the day, not tomorrow on the internet.
