A fan said, “No more Marvel movies until they reverse course, right?” Another fan shared the idea that “Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert, Meyers and John Stewart all pitch in a start a streaming service. They each take a weeknight mon-fri to host a Late Show. They fund two to three hours of prime time tv to air before them, they pay for licenses to air older and classic tv during the day.”
