I say this as someone who frequently comments on the sharp, continuing decline in SNL quality: Is Seth Meyers a "get"? I mean, is he likely to draw in viewers or keep the Regis fans? All I know of him is his snarky Update persona -- is there more to the guy than that?
Bear in mind as I ask all of these questions that I have no vested interest in any morning show, but if you ask anybody working in talk shows, the host (or co-host) is what attracts or repels viewers. Few individual guests generate actual ratings bumps. In the end, the hosts carry the shows. Can Seth Meyers carry a daytime talk show? Last question/point is that SNL first rose to fame as a counter-culture show, not exactly cutting edge, but not milquetoast either. Doesn't it speak volumes about the state of SNL that one of its signature players is seen as a logical choice for a bland morning show? -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV ....
