“They’re just sniping and trying to make people feel terrible.
And people are sick of it.
People don’t want to have the politics.
We’re going to have an entertaining show for entertaining people all over America.

Schneider reiterated that his show won’t be politically oriented, and teased potential titles.
“We have an opportunity in America to move away from the politics,” he said.
