>From the article: "He also lauded Letterman as a loyal guy, saying that also means he has kept staff employed. "David … was unbelievably loyal. He wouldn’t fire anybody," Moonves said. "So he has people that have been there for years getting paid for not doing very much. People don’t know what a good guy he really is." That means that costs have "crept up" over the years, Moonves added. The new show would be "a bit more economical," given that Colbert is coming from a cable network, Comedy Central, the CBS CEO said."
How dare Letterman feel loyalty towards people! That BASTARD!
