Stewart, who spent 16 years at the show, the majority of them Emmy-winning, will be heavily involved as an executive producer on the other nights as well.
But yeah we’ll see - they are offering him a ton of work that just isn’t worth it, but if he is willing…
you can’t even get him to host it daily? at this point just shutter the show. there’s plenty of people doing good lib/progressive political comedy (and way more doing it badly), but a legacy network like Comedy Central has nothing to offer them.
There has been good MCU content that actually has coherence - Agents of Shield, She-Hulk, Loki - but they’ve effectively had Showrunners.
Why Marvel thought it was optional, and everything could be fixed with editing in post is bizarre, but I’d argue that they’re just at the extreme end of a continuum.
Even with showrunners, some of the early seasons of the new era of Star Trek seems to have fallen into the same trap. To many big ego EPs each doing what they want and Kurtzman trying smooth it all out with editing in post.
Osunsami has kept coherence in the direction of Discovery in Toronto, but Picard season one and two was all over the place, frequently ignoring the tone laid down by Hanelle Culpepper in the pilot.
Not having a new plot development right up until that final episode which suddenly wraps everything up would probably help. Nearly every marvel series Disney out is guilty of this.
This is significant, but probably not quite as significant as it would seem at first glance, if indeed the contracts are merely suspended and their terms will be extended once they resume.
On the other hand, it’s nice that the studios have dropped their “the strikes are saving us money” bullshit.
