Because the humour doesn’t work very well without the audience, I find the show a lot more depressing now. It always covered tough issues but the humour at least made it watchable. Now it’s kind of dire all of the time.

The humour is still there just like before, maybe try using this during the show:

3 weeks in and I'm entirely disappointed. The main stories have been good, as in they are worth covering...but damn has the show lost humour. The jokes are so flat.
It's never been this bad...ever. What happened? Is Covid preventing writers to collaborate properly?
Yeah...its a lot less funny, but I've always kind of expected that as things get more and more dire. I'm still really enjoying it, he always gets a chuckle or two out of me.
Honestly....I know it sucks, but there need to be consequences for Police who screw up badly.
Sure, mistakes will be made....but they've got to be better than these.
'Going to the wrong house' is the kind of mistake a child would make.

I still find it funny, but it certainly isn't as light as some of it once was (not that it was especially light to begin with).
For example, before you had SLAPP suits, stadium funding, local councils talking about mosquitos etc. While all serious and complex issues, they certainly have some "this is bull####" stuff that is funny and serious, but also not dire?
Now you have police brutality, pandemic, Qanon crap that allowed people to storm the capital in a half-assed attempt at some right wing revolution fantasy. This stuff seems far more serious/infuriating.
Watching the police raid issue this weekend, i was pissed! like how does this crap happen in a place many people look up to? how is this a thing?
The cops checking out the guys room camera and laughing at the way they burst in (This was a good day. worth coming to work today) while the wrong guy is handcuffed to the bed?
serious?! go #### yourselves you roid monkey white hick pricks!
So yeah, less funny, but i think the topics are less funny and more serious.

But at least we got this out of it:

Nah, he was gold long before that, jumping into every corner of American and world politics and coming out with great analysis and humour. It's definitely that he thrives on a studio audience, you can see it.
I can't even believe these guys telling jokes to no laughter right now. I would die inside trying to pull that off.

Yeah, it was one of the best uses of frivolous HBO money. I tried finding a compilation of all the weird purchases or expenses they've done on the show but wasn't able to find one.

If this world had any sense of decency or humour I would be given unlimited resources.
I think I could come up with some hilarious uses for it.

The Duck Hunt painting is over $20,000 and the other ones (except for the handshake between the two duck painting weirdos) are over $10,000: https://www.ebay.com/e/charity/lastweektonight

Johns stupid things that I can recall. Apologies if I get some wrong.
- naming a waste treatment plant
- blowing up 2020
- buying Russell crowes jock strap from Cinderella man
- buying erotic paintings of mice
- commissioning a painting of Wendy Williams eating pork chops
- the Times Square slapp suit sing and dance.
- the wax presidents.
- the miniature train thing with that small town, forget what he did there.
- that time he bought up and then forgave a bunch of medical debt
- the gay rabbit book
- the worlds largest cake to piss off the dictator who rules Turkmenistan (or so google tells me)
Several of those seem less frivolous and more like good uses or ways to raise awareness. Far from an exhaustive list.
