3. Use CBS's Turmoil as a Joke

Comedians can incorporate the turmoil at CBS into their sets, making light of the situation.

By using the situation as a punchline, comedians can create a humorous and lighthearted commentary.

4. Create Satirical News Segments

Comedians can take it a step further by creating their own satirical news segments. They can craft fake news anchors and report on the latest developments in the CBS-Trump saga.
