Leno is gone, who replaces Letterman when the time comes?

[dfergie]

Actually I've watched Conan a few times since Jay was forced out, but like you say on cable and not many watch ...

Conan has an average of less than 1 million viewers a night. Great for cable, sucks for network.

NYC Mayor Called Les Moonves Directly To Keep Post-Letterman ‘Late Show’ In Big Apple

Forget the letter-writing campaign of Los Angeles’ mayor. The mayor of New York picked up the phone and directly asked CBS boss Les Moonves to keep the Late Show in the Big Apple after David Letterman retires next year. “I had a very good conversation yesterday with the man who will actually make that decision, Les Moonves, and I emphasized that New York has been an extraordinary home for the Late Show and that we think it’ll be a great home for the Late Show going forward,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio today during a press conference.

Unfortunately, the television and movie industry is moving-away from California due to the labor laws. Too expensive!!!

NYC is not known for its friendly labor laws either...

Maybe they should all move to Sin City, Las Vegas....

 

[mike123abc]

It will probably be most influenced on where the new host resides.

But, they are known for their Office of Film, Theatre, and Broacasting, which has cut a lot of the red tape and made using city landmarks much easier...
