If they did ever have one, I'd say they should use Joey Fatone as he's been a regular guest anyway for them and Q has used him before for his challenges. But Joey's still no Joe Gatto!

@diego100k That would make no sense b/c Joe is more important to the show than anyone else would be behind the scenes. I've never heard that she works for the show in all of the episodes I've watched where they even mention her or bring her in.

I saw he posted that he decided to not cancel the comedy tour b/c he knows how valuable it is for people to be together and laugh in person w/each other again (after pandemic forced lockdowns) and he knows he brings a lot of laughter to people, so he still decided to finish that, but then I think he'll be on a long break from everything. Wish he was coming to Vegas, but didn't see anything for him coming out west. Would love to see him do stand up. I'm sure he'll be back at some point in the future. I also agree w/your first statement though. I love all of the guys and what they each bring to the table, so while it already feels different watching the new shows w/o him, and I think it's weird they don't even mention that or why he's gone on the next episode w/o him, I don't want the other 3 to fail b/c they're still funny too and deserve the screen time all of the same. I just wish some of their bits were better that they've tried recently. The one Q came up w/that Sal hated and said didn't work I completely agree with! Also they should be using their guests as a 4th person for the team challenges, but at least Sal said they would here. I just haven't seen them utilized well yet, b/c it seems stupid to just bring them on for the punishment but have them be an awkward 3 for the whole show. There are still many bits they can do w/just 3 of them though.
