Arsenio Hall has been making the rounds promoting this A&E doc which premieres this evening and runs a few times this week (and probably next). About a decade ago, A&E produced an outstanding documentary about the daytime shows (in which I made a lengthy, unexpected cameo, but that is neither here nor there). I've seen them air good stuff and bad stuff. I'm hoping this will be good stuff. It is supposed to be about several of the late night feuds, not just the most recent (Jay & Conan) or the most notorious (Dave & Jay). Given Arsenio's involvement, I suspect they'll include the war of the late '80s/early '90s and all of the wannabe heirs to Johnny's throne. And it would be nice to learn something about Carson's brutal contract negotiations which gave him sole ownership of his show, cut the time down from 90 to 60 minutes, and eventually cut his schedule to three days a week.
