Some notes until I form a more coherent opinion: Leno isn't leaving LA. NBC needs him, or at least needs him off the air, more than he needs a show from them. Figuring his car collection is as important to him as a show, he'd turn down NBC if it meant moving to NYC. Ratings expectations are vastly different for prime time and late night. Leno's been getting 3.5-4 million viewers a night and that's fatal in prime time. Leno competes well against Letterman and Nightline, but that's not the same as competing against CSI:Miami. The show I envision him doing is monologue/topical comedy for the first half and a variety show for the second half. Maybe a newsmaker or big star interview occasionally and lots of music acts.
