This would have been perfect for a V/H/S segment, and it wouldn't shock me if the original concept was for an anthology.

20-30 minutes of just a struggling late night show bringing on a demon. Strip away the conspiracy and dead wife and focus more on the success/fame more intensely.

OR

Go 120 minutes and actually explore the backstory they forced in, as well as characters like Gus (who turned real Christian randomly), and play it straight horror without the 2001 ending. Could have been the next Hereditary.

Agree with that. There was a lot of it that just felt slow and unnecessary. And it was acted like a VHS/anthology as well (i.e. acted fairly poorly), although that is part of the appeal and makes it seem more "real" as a legit 70s late night show clip.

Also, the whole "Grove" angle with the gatherings of celebrities in the woods performing rituals just felt sort of overly forced and out of place, and dind't really jive with anything.
