Yeah but if the show was doing well, the money wouldnt have been an issue.
Tim staying is probably because he's a good host, but it seems like they felt they needed new a dynamic, because ratings were poor. Also, it isnt guaranteed that tim is staying because they said they'll have rotating guests with tim until furthere details are announced.
Not saying sid didnt want to leave, but if the show was doing well they wouldve gave him enough to stay.
I dont really like overdrive either, but apparently they are killing it in their time slot.
