He clarifies it in the interview. He went with "with David Letterman," and not "starring David Letterman" because he doesn't consider himself a star. The article got it wrong about his name not being in the title. Even when he switch networks it was still "The Late Show with David Letterman" and not "starring" him.

As mentioned below, For Your Consideration wasn't a mockumentary, but it was a decade ago, which is why the wording of the article is correct.

Night Court was a live audience, and the laugh you're referring to is thought to belong to creator Reinhold Weege's father: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/…

Can't tell if you're being serious, but I Love Lucy was filmed in front of a studio audience, and that likely was Desi Arnaz laughing while watching offscreen.

This thread has more details, but The Flinstones originally aired with a laugh track for all seasons, and then in reruns, but in the early nineties Cartoon Network started airing them without a laugh track:

Both Samantha Bee and Jon Oliver's shows are doing well in the ratings, so their shows are safe for now.

Wlmore said he got the news through his agent before the press release or CC called him, so it's likely his agent was engaged in contract negotiations for a while.

CC said renewing would've meant signing up the talent now for another year, so I'm wondering if the contracts don't line up with the seasons. After all, the show premiered in Jan 2015, but Wilmore and the writers and other staff were probably already working for months setting up the show, working out the format,…

To be fair, not many people are willing to crack open a machine that's functioning as a SNES in order to enable a drive that has no known software available for it. For the handful of Prototypes Sony let out "into the wild," the simple electronic dodge was probably thought to be effective enough at the time.

I don't know why you'd think Fox would be spiteful; they've been able to successfully leverage the X-Men license for years. Also, the licensing is complicated, and Fox may be obligated to include Marvel as a production company in some capacity.

It's co-produced by FX Productions, which is part of the Fox Entertainment Group. Not to mention it airs on FX, part of the Fox Networks Group.
