0:00.0 | From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business. |
0:05.9 | You listen, if you listen and learn, then you're going to be able to do anything you want this time. |
0:11.5 | Everybody takes your business, really, really, all white life, he doesn't clean, clean. |
0:19.1 | What's with him? |
0:20.0 | Oh, I'm afraid he's gone Hollywood. |
0:23.0 | This week on the business, the Sapphires is a hit Australian film based on the true story of an Aboriginal girl group that entertained the troops in Vietnam. |
0:32.3 | We talk with its Aboriginal director, Wayne Blair. |
0:35.4 | Plus, an update on the plight of the troubled visual effects house, |

1:28.1 | Jimmy Kimmel at ABC, and they're making what looks like a very dramatic move. Yeah, and I think they also, |
1:33.5 | you know, are concerned that Letterman's contract, like Leno's, is up in 2014. And if they don't |
1:38.9 | secure Jimmy Fallon, they could see CBS poach him. It would be a replay of the whole thing that |
1:44.0 | happened when it was a question of whether Letterman or Leno would take Johnny Carson's seat, which inspired a book and a TV movie.
