HEY, KIMMEL, HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES? As in, how would you like to kick "Nightline" off the air, move to 11:35p and take on Letterman and O'Brien directly this fall? [Still only at the "in discussion" stage.]
For what it's worth, I can't remember the last time I watched "Nightline," or even when on the show ended up mattering. As I wrote over three years ago when Ted Koppel left, "As Peter Lassally had to explain to David Letterman in convincing him to reject NBC's late offer of taking over Leno's 'Tonight Show' a year later, the show Koppel began simply doesn't exist anymore. Oh, sure, there's going to be a half-hour news show on ABC after the late local news (until the Next Big Talk Show Host becomes available, at least) . . . but it won't be 'Nightline'."
