I don't know, stretch goals for this kind of thing are generally considered bonuses as celebration. I just did a book one that included a different type of cover and a bookmark when they hit a goal. It's not "we need x amount to afford this" it's "too celebrate getting y we're doing this extra thing". In this case it's not Joel needs the overage to cover his pay or whatever for appearing in new episodes, it's as a bonus for hitting the goal Joel is going to host new episodes for the first time in years, which it seems a lot of people are really excited to see.
