The absolute mess of a production 2022’s Star Trek Day makes me both want to watch this and skip it. The only redeeming things were the hosts but it was obvious that they were even making things up on the spot.

Previous years were better but still not well done. ( I recall a pair of social media personalities one year leading the social media side who clearly didn’t know the franchise.)
Having Jerry as a host with some prerecorded bits sounds like a better plan, but in previous years the hosts had to cover for a lot of disorganization.
Beyond the fact that SAG-ACTRA is not calling for audience boycotts (yet), I am wondering if Jerry is exempt from the strike conditions when performing as a host. Hosting or reality TV aren’t covered by the union (although they would like it to be). If he doesn’t speak at to his role in Lower Decks (which is covered under a different animated writers union), it’s possible that live hosting is permitted.
