From Carson's point of view, I'm sure he had no interest in bringing on someone who might possibly upstage Doc. Most likely though I bet he preferred Severinsens more disciplined style, which was reminiscent of 'the Big Band Era.'  

As for television exposure, Maynard was left to entertaining housewives on the Mike Douglas Show.
