but he says he simply wants to do other stuff &#8212; like putting on a live podcast show in front of an audience, which has become a popular phenomenon these days.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/#cb-488108dc145c21ef278afda73f8585af--><\/p>\n<section id=\"cb-0adb0f883403de745643b50e12617ab9\" class=\"canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default \" data-context=\"{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}\" readability=\"29\">\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t sound like he&#8217;s going anywhere when it comes to his TV job &#8212; he ain&#8217;t giving that up anytime soon &#8212; but when it comes to just doing straight material at a club somewhere &#8230; Bill says he might just leave it behind.
