They may time it with March Madness, but if CBS auditions replacements for Craig on air (like they did to replace previous Craig), they may not have someone until then.
If CBS opts to keep 12:30 on the cheap, I think on-air auditions a reasonable possibility. And unlike 10 years ago, it will be much easier to generate lots of digital ink on the process.

Sorry for confusing things. You're right, no official end date has been announced, just "in 2015." "Nine months" had the right comic rhythm in my ear. It's probably longer than that; I'll open the bidding with "the end of May sweeps." (Longer, because with TV's Craig Ferguson's replacement starting in January, I expect Dave will not even start his final lap until after that.)

I've heard nothing official from the network and, as far as I know, Dave hasn't said anything beyond the "sometime in 2015" he mentioned when he announced he was leaving. > > >Not disputing your timeframe...just wondering if I missed a memo somewhere. > > >Doug Fields >Tampa, FL > > >-------- Original Message -------- >>Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] Really, Seth? >>From: Jon Delfin <[email protected]> >>Date: Fri, July 04, 2014 11:26 am >>To: tvornottv <[email protected]> >> >> >>He's got nine more months to go.
