- Network stations don't normally have that luxury, but independants

- either at 8, 9, or 10pm...

- TOTALLY! The *only* thing Dave should "take over" from the T.S.
- would be the TIME SLOT... Jay's biggest problem is that he DID
- take over, rather than starting a new show of his own.

-
- True enough... I think Dave fully deserves a better time slot,
- along with the higher ratings that would come with it.

- Currently Dave only gets around $4-5M, but $16 million sounds
- about like the right raise to me. :-)
