spoiler this film depict the brutal bloodbath cause by the retirement of johnny carson to determine who would succeed him . the impersonation of david letterman and jay leno be perform in a satisfactory way by john michael higgins and daniel roebuck and though the performance weren not great . reni santoni be the best performing of the exec ( he play john agoglia of nbc ) and and warren littlefield ( play by bob baliban ) be a close second . i be shock at the way in which littlefield eagerly discuss dump johnny carson . this be johnny carson . this scene evince the cut throat and what have you do for me lately world of television . kathy bates deliver the best performance of the film a jay agent and helen kushnick . another commenter assert that leno be portray a a simpleton in the film . i respectfully disagree . the relationship with kushnick border on something akin to domestic violence . she order him around and and and when he rebel against her at the end and she try to play the sympathy card ( mention her dead husband and son ) while however and when jay terminate their relationship and she turn violent again and scream don not you leave me and you two face bastard . before smash a picture on the floor . overall and the movie be hilarious and and i wish that it be show more often .
