It did seem like they waited to fill every seat before getting into their
prep. It was at least an hour from when I sat down. Plenty of people had time
to leave their seats and go to the restroom before they started. From what I
remember of the pre-show stuff from other tapings, some shows did get into
their pre-show explanations while still filling seats. Not here.
I fell asleep before the show aired, so I'll have to wait until I get back home
before seeing if there's anything else interesting to note between what aired
and what I saw taped.

So, if I'm reading this right, they made you sit in the house with nothing
happening for about 90 minutes? That's inexcusable.

I left the Ed about 6:45 Eastern, and haven't seen the show yet, so I might
have more to say later in the week.
Most of what Dave describes below reflects my experience, though the process is
much more efficient than in 2017. I arrived at 3:30, and once my plus one
satisfied all the COVID requirements, we were in the Ed within 20 minutes and
right to our seats (ground level, near the back and across from Joe Saylor in
the band, though we still had a fair amount of time waiting in the theater.
The staff had music piped in (mostly current hits). I can't remember who came
first, but the floor director and the warm-up guy (Paul Mercurio, who was
probably doing it in 2017) were next. Mercurio was leaning hard on the
cheerleading approach to being a warm-up comic, which can easily rub someone
the wrong way. His interactions with audience members were more entertaining.
The band came out and the crowd really responded. They played the song that
used to play over the end titles (chorus lyrics "I feel good, I feel free, I
feel fine just being me.") Stephen came out during the song, did the Q&A
thing, and then the show started around 5:30-5:40.--
