Narz then had a home and marriage in Los Angeles and both were breaking up due to his being on the opposite coast so much.

They went to taping five a day at some point during Monty's tenure but things still got so crowded in the various Manhattan facilities that CBS did what they'd told Jack Narz they couldn't do: Move the show to Los Angeles.
