Drew doesn't HAVE to equal or even come close to Barker.

A good multiple-year run will do it.

Look at Leno (especially) and Conan replacing Letterman. Both had bumpy starts but eventually found their own groove and have lasted for many years. Never will have what Carson did but nobody will in the modern TV universe.

One only hopes CBS gives him enough time to find himself on the show; if they do, I think he can have a run as long as he wants. Which probably will be less than 10 years.

Which is my point exactly -- success can be measured in other terms, and I think your Tonight Show example perfectly illustrates that.

I do share your concerns about CBS giving him a fair chance.  Let's also hope America does so as well.

Most revealing is what Drew says about "Barker's Beauties".

And bless him for that.

(Warning--there's a video accompanying the article, and while it's worth watching, there are a couple of split-second spoilers. But you can see the final touch-ups to the Showcase podiums.)
