For half of Gregory's overinflated salary and twice the preparation. I'd have a rotating panel of reporters, pundits and interested persons to fill out the host table. It would probably take about four hours to winnow out a good half hour (at least to start with) to edit out all my "That's horseshit, you lying fuck!" rejoinders, but I'd get the hang of it pretty soon, I think.

NBC: Call me.
