His quitting is bizarre to me, as is his divorce.

I feel like something bigger is going on?

He was probably banging all the interns

something bigger

This is hardly the time for schnoz jokes.

But seriously, divorce is messy, especially for someone in the public eye with young kids to think about. There could be tons of factors contributing, but Joe, beyond being my favorite of the four who was fearlessly funny, usually took the L when it came to disrespecting women or kids or anything too mean-spirited, so he could really be the type of guy who puts his kids first no matter what.

I got a notification that he's touring this summer.
So, who knows.

But it's a weekend-ish schedule. Working on a season of a show is much more of time suck.

Although maybe I missed it, I thought it strange that there was no acknowledgement during that first show. I thought the other 3 might say something in the first minute of the new show. But if he blindsided them completely, maybe there are other issues in addition to divorce.

MYDAUGHTER IS A HUGE FAN OF THIS SHOW...SHE EVEN HAS A CRUSH ON SAL...THIS IS BAD NEWS FOR HER.

He shouldn't quit. He's like the leader.

Wasn't the same on the first show without him (after Duke thankfully lost). The paired bits were always the best, and rotating in semi-famous people instead won't work.
