huh? Am I misunderstanding something, since I'm reading that passage out of context? "and then came a deal from CBS -- one no other late-night host ... had ever had. Ferguson won a guarantee that he would be the successor to David Letterman..."
Whaddaya mean, "no other late-night host" had that deal? Conan had that deal to succeed Jay, obviously. The author references it in the very next sentence. What am I missing here? That makes no sense.

This, I think, is news. re Scottish Conan Guy, page 137:
"Attention and better ratings followed, and then came a deal from CBS
-- one no other late-night host, first at NBC and now at CBS, had ever
had. Ferguson won a guarantee that he would be the successor to David
Letterman, should there ever -- heaven forbid -- be a sudden need for
a new host of Late Show. It wasn't anything like a five-year ticket to
the big chair, but it was the CBS version of the Prince of Wales
clause. Or in this case maybe, the Prince of Scots."
