I've been a huge fan of this show since Jon's early days, and you've been amazing since you took over.
BUT, since the move to Times Square, your opening monologue talking off-camera to an invisible audience, it's cringe, amatuerish, and so 1980's ! I've tried to adapt, but can't.
So... PLEASE STOP!
Filming from your apt was #1000x better with the special effects! Or at least have people talking back from audience.
But no off-camera monologue, PLEASE!
