You expressed yourself quite clearly, and I agree the article is crap. It doesn’t tell the whole story; I don’t even think the writers know the whole story. Part of me wants to believe the intent is to get someone to go on the record, but with broadcast TV dying, and the strike putting the job of

I am going to take another run at this - it may be that people disagree with me, which I am used to, but it may be I have not expressed myself clearly. If the story is: “Fallon seems like a nice guy on TV, but in reality he is a mean jerk”, then yes, they do have that story. I am not against

The thing is, though, the fact that Fallon has had nine showrunners in nine years. Carson only had three for 30 years--and Freddie DeCordova did it for 20 years. Dave had three in 35 years, not counting Merrill Markoe. Colbert has only had four in eight years, counting himself in the beginning.
