1989, same month that Arsenio started his first run.  Sajak also, at least to 
start, went 90 minutes.

Oh Sajak sounds familiar.     When did he have his own talker that flopped ?

I recall Pat Sajak.

It's been a couple days, but I want to call attention to a particular question 
(my emphasis in underline):

When you moved to CBS, so much was made of your rivalry with Jay Leno. In 
retrospect, do you feel like this was overblown?

No, I don’t think so. It would have happened if I’d have gotten the “Tonight” 
show, and he would have come here. I think people are curious to see, well, 
what will happen? And we prevailed for a while, and then I lost my way a little 
bit. Quite a little bit. And at that point, there was not much I could do about 
it. People just liked watching his show more than they liked watching my show.
Obviously this screams alternate universe because Jay not getting Tonight was 
never a serious option, but I never recall, in the 20-odd years of reporting on 
this topic, that CBS was interested in anyone not named David Letterman for 
11:35. CBS did what they did because Dave was leaving, not because there was a 
change in host. Does anyone recall something I can't?
