You know when it comes to racism, people say: " I don’t care if they’re black, white, purple or green"… Ooh hold on now: Purple or Green? You gotta draw the line somewhere! To hell with purple people! - Unless they’re suffocating - then help’em.

To what end? Award shows are basically there to make advertisers say “oh hey, this show is doing well and is probably gonna have a bump in numbers. We should get on board now.”
But there is no show to advertise for. It could be that they’re doing it altruistic- I’m just kidding award pushes cost money, and unless I missed the news there are no current CBS talk shows to piggy back off of a win.
I suppose the former producers/execs might be trying to raise their own profile. “Look what we did! We’re still here! Advertise with us!” Or it was in the contract for the show that they have to try, or they’ll need to pay Stephen more.
I dunno, just seems odd to go for the award postshowously.
