    They can do that in movies and other TV shows too…

      I suppose comics have done that. Like Seinfeld worked bits into the show, especially in the early seasons. But that was all Jerry’s stand up. Roseanne was the same early on, many of the sitcom premises and monologues were from Barr’s stand up routines. But it was never like weekly guests got an opportunity to film and edit a tight five. I honestly can’t think of another movie or show that did it, except maybe talk shows? But then it’s still a performance in front of an audience. You can’t workshop a line or a pause during the Late Show, unless it’s a satirical talk show like Between Two Ferns or Eric Andre.
