I wonder if Carter here is referring only to Dave's possible

Sloppy writing on my part: Conan was announced as Dave's successor
while Dave was still hosting LN; Dave even had Conan on as a guest.
But Dave had announced his own departure months before, and so any
succession news had zero impact on Dave's own plans.
