Do we know for sure that it'll be a "talk show?" Or at any rate, a
traditional one? I can easily see it being more of a sketch comedy
with a bunch of comedians NBC signs on the cheap to see if they can
develop into SNL-calibre players (not a high bar to clear, I admit).
I'd guess a 10-12 minute monologue Act One, a topical comedy piece in
Act Two, a guest in the third act, and some evergreen thing as the
finale (Jaywalking or something of its ilk). It would mean the writers
are turning out a lot of material, but not substantially more than
they were on TTS.
