I feel like he has less control in writing overall compared to before he left the show. There's also less direct calling out bullshit.

But there have been some creative episodes. The one where he plays the role of subjugated jester with Trump as the hypothetical monarch (with the set in all gold) was interesting at least, and something different. He's no Colbert when it comes to playing a role (whose talents are largely wasted on the late show) but it was a decent effort.
