But you've failed to account for the fact that there are multiple costs associated with this move besides production, such as leaving a very meager lead-in for NBC-owned affiliate news programs and the potential cannibalization of The Tonight Show's guests and content.<br /><br />NBC has set the yardstick for measuring success -- they claim that if Leno can pull in his old Tonight Show ratings at 10pm, the show will be a success. By that standard (which is incredibly low), we'll know if this move is a success long before your 3 year time line.Sudhirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13990375401954699467noreply@blogger.com
