I've done this quite a bit and the analogy isn't wrong, but there's a huge difference: late night talk shows are highly opinionated and funny (at least in theiry), while a mixed-mode online class is for the most part neither of those things. That means that while the parameters are the same - knowing what the camera sees and doesn't see, responding to the in-room participants while taking into account the needs of those online, watching for cues from production staff - the calculations are not. Humour still matters, as does opinion, but it's also important to be much more practical and relevant in a class.
