The Monologue Was the Most Effective Part of the Hosting Experience

I thought the monologue was both like really effective to me as a viewer and as a specific type of viewer, aka a person who hosts a podcast about a war season. And also is evidence of like why awards shows just like make no sense anymore. They just don't make any sense as a concept because I thought it was great. Yeah, this felt very much like a kind of spiritual sequel to Nathaniel, his most recent special. The show already ran long. The bits were going to feel extra for us. Good call.
