      I think he’s made a good compromise between his pre- and post-pandemic shows. He’s kept the casual look, which I personally like because he also kept the ongoing interactions with his crew at this higher-than-before level, giving the overall show a much mellower vibe. Plus, he doesn’t wait as long before charging on with the next joke while the audience’s clapping has yet to fade, which is a great compromise in a profession where the clapping (and laughing) is the real objective of the whole enterprise. I mean, we can’t really be disappointed that he brought back the audience...the audience _is_ the whole gig really. Or at least it was...
