I can't believe NBC allowed him to stay on the air after announcing he would be replaced. I suppose it has something to do with contractual obligations and weighing the odds of him potentially acting innappropriately vs. cost of settling with him from a weaker position. I can't say I've watched any of the late night shows in years, but this drama has even grabbed my attention.
