I don't understand the thought process behind this. You think Tom Leykis on tape at 10pm, and the Men's Room at 3pm was a plot to improve BJ's impact? And that BJ was responsible for it? Why is this not acceptable as having been just the best of a bad bargain?<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by drdetroit02 on 01/07/06 05:16 AM.</FONT></P>

I never understood why Leykis was so popular. Basically all he does is copy BJ's topics. I'm sure it was annoying for BJ to have Leykis riding his leg in the afternoon slot. Moving Tom to midnight was smart on BJ's part since now he doesn't have to deal with Tom's crap.
 
Adam Carolla

I think a good chunk of Stern's former audience will also go to The End and listen to Adam Carolla.
