• “Lackey” that’s a polite word for what he is. I guess it takes one to interview one.

• Jeff – the witch is dead (and the witch was you). Just melt away already as nobody wants you around and nobody has wanted you around for years and years! Too bad you made all the WRONG moves including hiring Ben Silverman which led to your ultimate demise.

• Bad suit and horrible shoes should have been the first sign! These executives kill me making all that cash and can’t wear a great pair of shoes. wow…it’s the shoes damn it, just look at the shoes and then you will know if he is the right guy for the job. look how sloppy he looks. This guy ran a company…really? His appearance
  says a ton about him.

• How appropriate that he is interviewed by Jim Cramer, who has proven himself a complete fraud and paid shill for NBC/GE, amongst others.

  “I got 95% of it right…”?!?!?!?!?! Jesus Christ, it must be 74 degrees and sunny in Zucker’s head at all times for him to have such a distorted view of his “supercharged” tenure at NBC but the facts are the facts: He ruined the network with his ineptitude and horrific “taste” (EMERIL, anyone?) then he hired an irresponsible, disrespectful, drug addict in Ben Silverman who only served to drive the brand further into the ground.

  Jeff, you have your $30 million dollar severance package, please just go the fuck away.

• Over 40′s are just not relevant anymore.

• Despite what happened with Leno/Conan, Zucker is still regarded as one of the great talents in the tv business. His success at The Today show is unparallelled. Moving to Network is always tough because you can’t compare it to morning shows. Today brought in gigantic amounts of $$ – and was a big constant. Network is different. We decide the fate of comedies and one hour dramas almost overnight. Prime Time also cost big bucks. He will resurface, trust me. Many other network chiefs have fared much worse that Jeff Z. Let nbc just take the profits they made from his Today show success – deal with that alone – and the #’s will be monstrous.

  • Nice to see you still read Deadline on the sly, Jeff. Good luck failing in politics as badly as you did running a network.
