It could be seen a lot with how awkward many of the late night US shows where just as quarantines started and they had to work without an audience or from home with only a producer on the call.

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Well, i'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the crews at comedian / musician gigs tend to have headphones on that blocks out what is actually going on, and can hear from the director or whoever is in charge. Security tend to have them for keeping track of security related things too. So that's probably why you don't see them reacting much normally, because they aren't able to even hear. Again, that's just what I think happens, might be different.
