What's left for Dave to prove?

Recently, I noted that Dave surpassed He-who-must-not-be-named-with-a-big-chin,
in ratings.
Given that Dave will be 65 next year, about the same age as Johnny
his mentor when he retired, I wonder what does Dave have left
to do in his career?
He's interviewed all the big stars, politicians, writers, etc.
Consistent in his showmanship - no guest stars (other then when he
was recuperating from his heart surgery), broken the rules
when it came for night time shows and set standards for
those behind him (think Conan, Kimmell, Fallon, etc.), beaten
his rival in ratings, and on.
At one point in your life you think about hanging it all up
and go do something else. I could see him back on the road
again, doing specials, or honestly, do a slow fade from
the public view - which is what Carson did.
His son is 8 years old (I think?). Precious time to connect
with a child. Think of the grand time he could have
with Harry everyday if he didn't have to work.
I read that his contact negotiations are due for beyond 2013
and does anyone want to hazard a guess that CBS wants him on for
two or x (you fill in) years? My sense, CBS has a gold mine
and will want him in at least two more years, but has
to think beyond Dave.
Curious as to what you all think. I know I've raised this
before with this group, but yes, I'm raising it again. To be
honest, because, I'm a bit tired of the troll postings
that have nothing to do with this group!

I'm guessing they'll extend it another year, making it 20 years at
CBS, and then call it quits. Then the show will either go to Stewart
or Ferguson.

to put it of as long as possible. Dave and Jay both have steady audiences which
leads to steady income from advertisers. When Dave leaves all issues of safety
and security for the time slot go away and if CBS decides to keep the talk show
format a new host will be under a lot of pressure to draw a decent audience.
When Dave leaves I assume Worldwide Pants no longer holds that slot and so
Ferguson might not be guaranteed succession. CBS could put up the money to lure
Stewart from Comedy Central but they might find Daily Show comedy to be too
polarizing and they might not want to see authors as guests. So if they target
Stewart he might prefer to stay where he is. The one possible host who has
experience in the format and a following is Conan. He's the one I think would
get the nod.
Ten years ago Worldwide Pants diversified by producing Ed and Everybody Loves
Raymond. They seem to have left that business in recent years. I thought at the
time that Dave was considering prime time TV producing a possible post-LS
venture. Since that went away I'm guessing he will be done with TV when he gives
up the show.

Ferguson, however, has openly stated that he doesn't want the show,
and he has a well-deserved reputation for saying exactly what he
means.
I suspect that the only way he'd ever take the responsibility would be
if he were offered carte blanche to do whatever he wanted to do with
the hour, and I frankly can't see the CBS brass ever ceding him that
sort of power.

The current show would be. If Ferguson were to go to 11:30 he would probably
have to do his show from the Ed and do a more traditional talk show. Nobody
taking part in this conversation (me included) thinks he wants to do that.

yours.
In fact, after Leno's new show flopped -and he decided that he wanted
his old show back- the NBC brass folded and pulled the rug out from
under Conan before he ever had the chance to build his own solid core
audience in the 11:30 spot.
We will never know how Conan would have done at 11:30 in the long
term.

I don't think Craig wants the job either. He likes to act unscripted and while it would be interesting to see how he would do at 11:35, he's got a lot more freedom at 12:35. The cursing bunny, dancing horse, and lesbian row are all gems but would not work well at the earlier hour. I suspect his audience is hipper than Dave's. Conan is the better replacement only because I think he knows the time slot better.
The hardest part for CBS is to determine LA or NYC? Fallon and Stewart are the only ones in NYC. Stewart to me is the outlier. He would fit right in. He does interviews, sketches and stand up (well what passes for it on his show). He could re-invent the whole late night show milieu to back to Steve Allen and his cast of characters. Jon's got a warehouse full of them with his team.

As someone who is getting up in age I have to wonder if Dave will ever
retire. I've known alot of people over the years who have retired
only to die a short time after that. On the other hand i've also
known people who have kept working every day and they are
well past 90 years of age. So maybe the lesson for Dave is
to take a page from those people and keep working.

Dave's taste for off-the-wall humor -that strikes him as funny because
it doesn't make any sense- sometimes makes so little sense that it
becomes annoying rather than amusing.

scenario we dream up can fall apart based on little details. Here are my
assumptions about this scenario: any cable show host will prefer to do a network
show because the pay is better and budgets are bigger. CBS will prefer to do a
Late Show from the Ed Sullivan Theater in NY. Worldwide Pants will cede their
control of the 11:35 hour to CBS.
Assuming all of that is true, my guess is that Conan makes the best candidate
for the job.

Carson had the gift of being able to repeat a DOA joke and get at
least a chuckle out of his audience the second time around.
I think that was what Dave was trying for, but it didn't float..
