Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Bill Carter says "Tonight" will move back to NY, with Fallon

I appreciate your concern for Burbank and the Tonight Show staffers, and I think at this point in US history all of us know at some level the devastating impacts of losing a job. Without minimizing that, the move to NYC will also be a welcome boon to roughly the same number of people, in the same i

Deep breath... and... The local CBS O&O here in LA did a decent piece about how Jay's firing (if we're going to call what happened to Conan a firing, we must also call what is happening to Jay a firing) will impact Burbank. NBC sold the Burbank studios a few years ago and moved most everything exc

They will have just under a year to get their ducks in a row then. That's pretty good lead time anywhere else. Few of them are contract players, so if they find something, they can jump. I know production in LA is slowing down, so I feel for those who will have a problem finding a job in Burbank.

While I agree that lots of people are affected by decisions like this and not just the multimillionaire hosts, I think you are assuming several things that, at least as far as I have read, have not been said. In particular, while it seems reasonable to guess that Fallon will keep much of his curre

I have to say, at this point, it is the network who cried wolf. I've ceased having any interest in Leno and Fallon. What does tick me off, however is the move to New York, though not for any reasons provided. When Conan was given the Tonight Show, his Late Show crew either stayed to work with Fall

Back in the '60s, the lead star on the show would be scheduled to appear within that last half hour. Basically to keep the viewers watching all 90 minutes. On Mar 20, 11:24 pm, Mark Jeffries wrote: > Well, considering that the usual guests in the last half-hour of 90 minute > Carson shows were fe
