" I think there's a number of reasons I think that that. -- has definitely been hurt by the lack of a lead and then and now NBC's ratings have collapsed with Leno and at 10 o'clock. That's definitely a factor did you notice these affiliates to one mean first towards the story in the globe last week that there was a story in the LA times today there's a story in the New York Post about all the affiliates complaining. We did that this seems to be some kind of organized campaign masks oh yeah they all talk to each other and and I can't believe that. MBC you'll stick with the long special you know as we know.

It's young males if the the young males are watching that's what to watch and they're now -- much Conan O'Brien and they're now watch in much David Letterman.

Shouldn't your Macs I think you should be a mean c'mon. Just can't buy an election the way you stay -- had to play tennis he's been really good may have. I'd I would vote for modified live down their Patrick your next with Howie Carr and max -- go ahead Patrick."

" I don't don't know how gonna -- it out."

" He's our lead -- your is that what you're saying hello I'd -- regularly use only have a finite amount of space and budget for these hour dramas I think south swim was a really noble show. Com. And there was that kind of show that. Given another season literally found its voice what are we gonna do with Leno what they get rid of the show army guys you know this -- still that does he now go to fox or ABC he had no good -- crush them again. I don't walk away with fifty million box it's a really good question I mean he just may mean this may be one of the great sandbags and show business said the potential to be. He could do it and and and and people -- watching more people teams are watching T going west a Leno watching him with the normal topic that at 10 o'clock. While I think what that what major metropolitan newspaper won't run a story tomorrow saying jay -- Sox. Your best bet a strikes on Macs but -- powered car. The air force."
