No matter how great the renovation is, the show will still look cheap compared to Leno's "Tonight," which has the best production values of any of the late night shows. >From the moment this plan was revealed, I've thought that what NBC should do instead is rent out the Hudson Theatre on West 44th, the home of Steve Allen's "Tonight." (They can't buy it, because it's now part of the Millennium Hotel.) This would reconnect the show to its history, give them a big studio (Steve famously said on the premiere that “we especially selected the Hudson Theatre because I think it sleeps about 800 people”), and give the new "Tonight" a taste of the same street-level Manhattan vibe that Letterman has used so effectively. -Tim
