Ya know what? Fuck NBC. WALK COCO WALK!To counter O'Brien's principled public statement which the late night host issued this week, Zucker "is threatening to ice Conan", according to his reps. "Zucker said, 'I'll keep you off the air for 3 1/2 years.' Which doesn't have a chance in hell of happening. What I really think Zucker wants is to hold him off the market for at least six months to a year until the dust settles and Leno is secure and Conan is squelched." One of the reps even compared Zucker to "Darth Vader" because the NBCU chief "has been so evil" about this.
I wonder if SNL will touch this.
SNL is the only saving grace of NBC and that's usually hit and miss sometimes. Depends on the host. January Jones was fucking terrible, but Gordon Levitt and Franco were so cash.
SNL has only been good the last few years because of Andy Samburg joining the cast and his 2 buddies joining the writing staff.
I'm sure they will do some jokes about it.
Franco's opening monologue was one of the best I've ever seen.
edit: and considering how much Jon Hamm's episode of SNL ragged on Mad Men, was surprised that January Jones didnt do shit.
SNL has already made jokes in their promo's for this week's episode. Bill Hader told Weaver to "Run! They're coming!" and when asked who "they" were responded: "The NBC executives! They want to move the show to 2AM!"
The recent SNL with Charles Barkley was actually one of the best this season I am shocked to say. Taylor Swift & whatshisface from Twilight being the worst.
Barkley: "You guys wouldn't know sexy if it sat on your face and said 'Where's my butt?'"
The latest news I just read is NBC renegotiated Leno's contract and he's moving back to the 11:35 time slot. It's on TMZ.com for whatever that's worth.
So what is going to fill the 10pm time slots? Heroes reruns 5 times a week?
Wow that is a massive fail, I hope that the show tanks or NBC gets screwed somehow. Conan may get paid big money tho. Hope he moves to another station, if so I am there. Team Coco
Apparently Kimmel broke his leg off in Leno's ass on his (Leno's) show tonight. About to watch it.
Conan's prono names were awesome. Did anyone pause and write down what they were?
Conan the Impaler
The Splat Leno Show...etc
