isn't it time these big-time hosts ditched their employer companies and created their own? Kimmel alone has a net worth of $50M. The spineless companies refusing to stand up for their bread and butter stars deserve to lose them.
A combination of, say, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Kimmel, Colbert and others could set up their own company and air online, not beholden to government whims and tantrums, not beholden to scared investors.
I dunno, seems it could be done and done well if they wanted to.
I was actually wondering the exact same thing.
During the writers strike, Colbert, Kimmel, Meyers, Oliver, and Fallon formed “Strike Force Five” - a limited run podcast.
Maybe expand on that ^, with some political sketch comedy so some of the writing staff / crew members of the old shows could maintain employment, and so the new show would have a more impressive production value than just a glorified podcast.
I would watch that ^. Of course, I already watch Colbert, Oliver, Kimmel, and Stewart when I get the chance - Fallon not so much as he has been weak on Trump & the MAGAt republicans.
