Batiste has been, even without whatever responsibilities he has on the show,
ridiculously productive in other musical projects. He's released *10* albums
since being involved with the show, only one of them a project connected to the
show.
Now, he could be getting tired of his sidekick duties. But I don't think he
believes the show stifles his musical creativity.
It's also worth considering what lingering impact remains from the pandemic
with respect to live musicians. Yes, shows are back, but I doubt live gigs are
back to where they were in March 2020.
Besides, if The Roots can put up with Jimmy Fallon for the last 13 years, Jon
Batiste can deal with Stephen for a bit longer.

And I'm really wondering if Jon is becoming restless--the steady paycheck is
greatly appreciated, but sooner or later he has to decide whether he really
wants to spend another five years being the butt-kissing sidekick to Stephen
Colbert at the expense of his own music.
