• Jeff Zucked it up, royally.

  Coco, run. Run fast, away from NBC, and into Fox’s arms, where they will welcome you.

• I’m thankful for those vids only because if I hadn’t seen the one about Xbox Live, I would have never been intrigued enough to see DER UNTERGANG. I was quite in love with Alec Guiness’ portrayal in THE LAST 10 DAYS OF HITLER, but Bruno Ganz, wow…what a performance! (even when he’s ranting about Xbox and the Tonight show, go figure.)

• Last night the audience on Tonight show express thier support for Conan last night. Even I support him. Neither he nor Jay don’t deserve the treatment from Jeff Zucker. Frankly Jay and Conan should turn thier comedic long knives on him for once. Already in the business blogs,I did a Google Blog serch yesterday,some are predicting that Zucker’s days are numbered at NBCU president. I wonder with Law&Order in its Friday night 7pm slot I wonder if its going to face cancelition.
  Last night I watch George Lopez show on TBS even he had fun with NBC and Conan. He made his audience laugh with his really good monologue on the late night debacle. But Conan keep driving the dagger and get Cody and the wereworlf and the Avatar to put fear in the hear of Jeff Zucker,destroyer of networks.

• What’s terrific for Conan is that this has become such a publicity nightmare for NBC and Jay Leno. There is so much bad PR it may be in NBC’s best interest to just let Leno ago, which is purely amazing. I don’t think we’ll see any resolution, however, until the Olympics, although I’m a little surprised NBC is letting Conan get away with all the stuff he’s saying on his show.

  I really wouldn’t be surprised if Leno just bolts at this point. He’s starting to have more to lose than to gain. If he goes back to the Tonight Show and the ratings don’t improve, his rep will be trashed completely. It will be an interesting month.

• Go Jay – Welcome Back Home – We missed you.

  Protest rally will NOT work. Conan needs to stop acting immature. It will not change anything.

  Jay is not protesting anything. He is a grown up adult and accepts the company change with ease.

  • What’s to protest??? He won. No way I would take that show away from Conan. Somebody put a gun at Jay’s head?

• So who’s covering Zucker’s incompetent ass?

  Over time, he has completely destroyed the network and somehow he still manages to get a contract renewal for 3 more years???

  What gives?

• Great Hitler video.

  Here are my favorite lines:

  Jay Leno Kicks comedy in the dick and then craps on its chest.

  Also, Hitler calls Kevin Eubanks as funny as a dick rash.

  My fav is the one of the writer’s guild. Too bad they took it down though.

• If people want to support Conan, why don’t they just watch his show?
  His ratings are terrible. Where were all these supporters the past 7 months?

• NBC has TWO problems…the lesser of the two is the affiliates being unhappy. In any significant media market they have nowhere else to go! Now the NBC OWNED stations in old major markets, NY, Phil, etc. will make less money on their news, but not as much as NBC saves with a low production lead in. The BIGGER problem is that the Tonight Show was a big money maker for NBC, and because Conan has lost so much of the audience, that money is threatened. That’s their primary concern.

  Conan is under contract with NBC for four years. He has, like any other show, ZERO say on WHEN or IF they air his taped shows.
  He can break his contract and refuse to do the shows, thus violating his contract and walking away from about $40 million dollars. That’s probably twice what FOX would pay him, and his stupidist option. He can continue to do the tonight show, let NBC air it where they please, and hope his ratings go up enough to earn him back a time slot he likes better (what he should do, if his pride and aragance don’t get in the way).
  NBC has another option if Conan refuses to produce the shows. They can continue to pay him his money (a small amount to a giant
  corporation) and invoke his “non-competitive” clause and keep him
  off ANY network, anywhere in the world, for about 40 months. If he continues to piss them off… hoping to “get fired” so he can get a “buy out” AND some money from FOX (to make up the shortfall)
  don’t be surprised if NBC takes this approach.
