Saludos, my night owls.... Billy Crystal and his peeps are reportedly on the prowl for a late-night-TV hosting gig. The big question, of course, is where . "Billy was initially set on Conan O'Brien's slot when Conan takes over... The Tonight Show [in 2009]," a source tells the New York Post's Page Six. "But even if that didn't work out, he would do something in syndication." Billy's ask: $20 mil over five years. My ask: be better than Chevy.*

* To be fair, I'm midway through Chevy's biography, and he didn't get to do the kind of show he wanted.

No kidding, Matt. I would hope Billy would actually listen to his guests, which is the sign of a good host. Chase was terrible.

As long as they keep Billy mostly off-camera, it should be OK. But I don't want to see too much of him because he got freaky-lookin' in his later years!

Did Fox force him to eliminate all humor from his show?

Where's the funny?
