The Rise of the Comedian Host

This transition from stand-up to television host is not without its challenges. The relentless schedule of a daily or weekly show demands a constant stream of new material, a task that can be creatively exhausting.

The pressure to be consistently funny, engaging, and relevant can be immense, and it has led to burnout for many talented individuals.
