A common trait of past socks have been insisting that weekend and spin-off editions of certain news programs need separate stubs — both the accounts and the IP have carried this on, though unlike past socks this has mostly happened in draftspace instead of overriding redirects — though NinaLifeTV284759345 tried to Today 3rd Hour in a way  to  by an IP on a range repeatedly blocked in association with this master.

Nina63793452 has a username that I believe resembles some previous socks (not necessarily in the archive, but are tagged); they also are Draft:Overtime with Bill Maher, created by Carrie Inaba Fan (and Carrie Inaba Fan  Draft:@midnight (2023 TV series), created by Nina63793452). Given the history here, a sleeper check wouldn't hurt; as it is both of these accounts have been around since August.  WC  Quidditch  ☎   ✎  23:01, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Username style seems similar to the most recent(ly found) sock, their attempt to an article to the The Daily Show with John Stewart redirect with  feels reminiscent of the Believer's Voice of Victory restorations from other recently-found socks, and their attempt to create a redirect at Draft:Live with Kelly and Mark was  by an IP on the "/64" recently (re)blocked in connection to this master.
