What happened to Leo Laporte on Know How?

I'm sure it was nothing like that. From what I can tell, Leo does a ton of shows each week.  He's scheduled "on air" for at least 15 hours a week. That's in addition to whatever other responsibilities he has and guest appearances on other shows. His Radio show on Saturday and Sunday are 3 hours long each. I wouldn't blame him if he wanted a bit more of a "weekend"

 

Beyond that, sometimes you try something out, and you decide that what you originally envisioned doesn't work out as well as you thought. Consider Tom Merritt on Triangulation. It's not that Tom was a poor cohost, or that Tom and Leo don't get along. It just made more sense for Triangulation to have a single host.

I like Leo dumbing it down, but I have been listening and watching Leo for at least 15 years. I think it lets the show appeal to more people but like Leo said my plan is to let the kids take over so maybe that's what we are seeing the start of????

Leo helped get the show going, just like going through the evolution of what is now called The Social Hour. I think it should be just like Before you Buy- keep a few "Anchors" but contributors make appearances. It  helps develop their talent as well, and find out who fits best in each program.
