When Conan started out, he didn't have old shows to rerun, so he kept up a five-show-a-week pace for the first few years. Then, Conan was a guest on Tom Snyder's competing show, where they came to an agreememt to not work so hard and to both scale back to four new shows a week. I think Craig Kilborn made just four shows a week. But Craig Ferguson has kept up a five show pace since the start. I assumed that Conan's switch to a new show every night was to compete better with Ferguson as well as to ramp up for Tonight.<BR/><BR/>Great to find this new part of your site, Sue.James Langdellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16716591353359808276noreply@blogger.com
