Early on the show poked fun at the incompetency of the current administration, expecting 'normality' to be restored soon.

Didn't, hasn't happened.

Really hard to put a positive and comedic spin on the state of things in America currently, and the show was struggling to do just that.
Like telling an inappropriate joke at a funeral, really.
