A couple of lingering questions after the special aired, although maybe they've already been answered (I've been too lazy to research myself): 1. Will The Roots be following Jimmy to 11:35 or staying with Seth at 12:35? I wonder how well Questo & Co. will adapt their style if they make the move...or if they'll even need to. The one thing the Roots have going for them is that they don't sound like the CBS Orchestra, and they sure as hell don't sound like Rickey & The Minors (or the Tonight Show Band, or whatever), but they can also be a little 'too hip' for affils & viewers in middle America. 2. Obviously, Jimmy's material is Jimmy's material, just as Conan got to take his signature bits with him to "Tonight". But has there been any official word on which recurring sketches will be killed off in the transition? I could see some of the guest-based games (Catchphrase, Password, etc.) working at 11:35, but probably not "Wheel of Carpet Samples" or "Let Us Play With Your Look". Similarly, I could see "Slow Jam the News" and "Thank You Notes" making the cut, but probably not the recurring chicken-suited musical covers. I can't speak to #2, but ?uestlove was interviewed on "Fresh Air" a little while back, and was asked about writing the new "Tonight Show" theme. http://www.npr.org/2013/08/30/215829351/questloves-roots-a-meta-memoir-of-a- lifetime-in-music _ _ |_>|_> Brad Beam- Belle WV |_>|_> http://www.facebook.com/74bmw -- -- TV or Not TV ....
