I know they will continue to make the world laugh,” Joe continued. “And even though the four of us are the ones who you all see, this show is only possible due to the hard work of the talented crew members who work behind the scenes. I am very thankful to have worked with each and every one of them.”
The TV personality noted that he was preparing to work through the “challenges” in
