Here’s the brief press release (note: the video contains an expletive):

I’m sure there will be changes, but hopefully they won’t be so big that it’s a totally different show. If politics lost this great satire then all we’d have left is just the awful reality of politics…..Who wants that world?

You probably weren’t refering to Fox, CNN, & MSNBC when you said we’re left with only reality. Your comment just caught my attention because I don’t know where to get reporting on reality… Read more »
