Pay them!!!! CBS has no problem shelling out millions to a couple of boring has been newcasters like Katie kouric and Dan Rather, when they finally get a show that brings entertainment and laughter into you home they put a lock on their wallets. No wonder why there is so much crap on prime time television.
