As the host negotiates with NBC over his future, he's enlisted a new attorney, Patricia Glaser, whose office confirmed her representation to TVGuide.com on Wednesday. Glaser's clients included Main Line Pictures, for which, as Variety put it, she "she crushed Kim Basinger" in a trial over the actress' departure from the 1993 film Boxing Helena. Glaser was once asked in an interview if she could recall "one rainmaking strategy or tactic that you initially thought would work, but it failed."

"I can't think of anything," she replied.
