Now is used much the same way well is used. It's a little less common, though.
Now can have more meaning. Example: Well, let's see if he lasts four years, and now, let's see if he lasts four years. They can have identical meaning, but the sentence beginning with now may indicate that the latest gaffe may be the spoiler.
