Baldwin would not really be doing 5 a week - the article notes that he could do several in one day, and would stockpile some for weeks and maybe months when he would do none. I suspect they might also do only 4 shows per week, and have fairly frequent rerun weeks (kind of like Poker after Dark). I don't think Baldwin would be doing it for the money - he seems to get a kick out of having his own platform. Pollak, on the other hand, I think does want a bigger stage - and as we know, he wants to make more money. They can monetize a podcast by selling ad space or subscriptions (Pollak has had limited and no succes with that kind of model) or they can monetize it by using it to bootstrap their way to a more traditional tv show. If they put him at 12:35, it would cost money - but I think they could get him for less than they are currently paying Fallon. Baldwin would pretty much just be doing his podcast more often and with video; Pollak would have to stop doing his podcast, and instead do a late late talk show, which might be something of a hybrid Letterman/OBrien type show with a Snyder type show - which I guess is something like a variation on a Ferguson type show. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
