Not to mention the number of great shows that would have never been on my radar had I not simply been in the ballroom during its panel, where I was able to see the clips and hear the cast/creators talk about it. There were always a couple of finds like that each tour.

Stephen Colbert’s show is ending. Is it a sign of what’s to come for late-night TV?
The worsening economics of television have put pressure on networks to reconsider the value of late-night shows, although the specter of President Trump also hangs over Colbert’s departure.
