I vaguely remember watching Sajak at 90 minutes and he often struggled during the last half hour.
Speaking of ratings drop-offs, Kimmel has done repeats on Fridays for a while, even at the new time slot. I know four days a week used to be the norm for Dave (and possibly a good stretch of Conan) at 12:35. How does this affect ratings comparisons with shows that run 5 days a week?
