Let it die. A show this frequent can only end up being boring.

    That was the point of his speech. He’s basically encouraging Colbert to follow in his footsteps with a podcast and a travel show on HBO.

    Cut out the middleman. Fuck HBO, and fuck Zaslav. He should start his own show and post it on YouTube or Nebula or even just his own damn website. And then he can sell it to Netflix or HBO or any of the other streaming sites.

    depends what kind of show you're talking about. podcasts and basic interview shows are doable independently, but more in depth shows require institutional knowledge for production, research, writing, cinematography, etc, not to mention liquid cash to fund it all. It's a huge undertaking to start something like that from scratch. I'm sure that's why Conan does his travel show on HBO.
