Another benefit will be actually starting at 11:30.  Leno's show
starts at 11:35 due to longer local news.  Dave could really put this
5 minutes to good use, and maybe would attract a lot of Leno's viewers
to switch.  Once you start watching a good show, you tend to stay with it.

easy marshal.  NO REASON TO YELL!!!!  we're all friends here, it's just some
are slower than others.

OLC:  I definately would miss our friend Calvin "Larry Bud Melman" Deforest. 
Who else would get up there, think he's doing a funny bit, mock himself, and
not realize that he's being laughed AT.  He adds the sort of humour that is
indespensibly what letterman is great at building on.  Remeber the time Larry
interviewed people at the airport, welcoming them to NYC, and he kept speaking
away from the mic?  

BTW:  I also would miss Al Maher.  Though he doesn't do much, i think his
"straight man" type of personality while not unusual, is quite a character. 
Does anyone remember "Al Maher's Box O' Thrills?"

   I just went VCR shopping 2 days ago, and every single VCR in the store would
   only tape M-F and 12:00 am is considered the next day (i.e. Sat. morning for
   Friday nights show).  I was having the same trouble with my VCR.

My old VCR had a M-F program, a M-Sat program and a Sun-Sat program.
So, I could use just one program a week, if I were willing to either
tape some random stuff, or not turn on the program until Monday after
work.

I remember seeing a cover on People or some tabloid which basically said
something similar "Oprah has all the money". The first time I've heard
DL mention Oprah was in regard to his negotiations, and he said it in 
a half serious tone. After that he uses it as a joke. Problem is, I've
missed a few episodes around that time so I cannot bet that was the
true first time, though it sure looked like it...


Who's the richest woman in USA? It is hard to say, but Kroc, thw widow

with over 1.0 billion served, I mean dollars.

Well, I dunno; Dave has said flat-out that he wants to take "as many
people as possible" with him; I can't imagine that it would be too hard to
transfer the stagehands' pension funds over to CBS.  Hell, some of them
have been at NBC so long they could probably just go ahead and "retire",
then let Dave rehire them over at CBS.  And remember that one night when
Dave got a copy of some ABC soap opera bloopers from the '70s with Al
Maher in them?  So he's obviously jumped ship before.  In fact, it might
just be in their best interests to leave NBC, considering the never-ending
rumors that NBC will be sold piecemeal by GE and left as less of a network
than Fox is.

>It's really amazing how much mileage they get out of 6A, isn't it??  That
>and 8A.  They must be sliding sets in and out all day long.

From what I heard, one of the many things GE/NBC did that angered Dave was
their constant use of 6A for just about anything when they could.  Faith
Daniels' show, NFL Live, etc...they're almost all done in 6A for some
reason, and it pissed Dave off because that kept his staff from using it
for rehearsals and whatnot.  If I remember correctly, GE wanted to RENT
OUT the studio to non-NBC shows as well, which is when Dave really blew
his stack.

Actually, 8H (not 8A) really isn't used that much for anything besides SNL at
the moment...it's just too big for the kind of shows NBC is currently
producing.  Oddly enough, the one thing it usually *is* used for is NBC
News's election night coverage, but this time around they rented out the
Ed Sullivan theater instead.  And doesn't CBS own that building?

This is pretty much my opinion too.  I first saw her play Fraser's bimbo
girlfriend on a Cheers' episode some years ago and then a similar character
on Hill Street Blues (except she was gunned down in the end) and I've since
always been turned on by her quaint faux Marilyn Monroe character.  I was
really looking forward to the interview and tried to see the Carson one
(she was bumped once or something, somehow I missed it), and was disappointed
not only by her hopped up behavior but also by her appearance; she's
changed from how I remember her.  Oh, well.

He does bunches of other New-York-produced NBC stuff.  If you ever find

at Five, watch the credits, he's there, too.
