I don't think it was a job interview as much as a courtesy by Dave. If
anything, 
it shows his hostility is personal toward Leno and not toward all of his 
competitors.

As for predictions about everybody's future behavior, what you propose is
as 
valid as what anybody proposes but there's no way to know. Remember that
NBC 
tried to engineer a smooth Tonight Show transition by moving 5 years
before the 
act and look at what that's turning into. My only question with your
scenario is 
what does CBS get out of letting Worldwide Pants hold the 11:35 time slot?
