With late-night TV productions shut down, and networks airing repeats in their place, some hosts have taken to recording ad hoc monologues from home or remotely to at least give some viewers (and themselves) some comfort during the global pandemic of coronavirus and self-quarantining.

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah
Noah and his crew have plenty of videos coming out this week. He began with a PSA, and moved onto comedy from there.
Conan
Conan O’Brien has been delivering his own PSAs from home, too.
