It also got mentioned on Chelsea Lately, I think. The joke was "Guiding Light got cancelled after the execs at CBS realized that it was still on the air." LOL

Although that joke was SO not funny(white viewers? did anyone even bother doing their research? There are far funnier things they could have come up with), screw these sensitive GL fans.

I remember Leno doing a joke about Sunset Beach getting canned. He said something to the effect of, "It's the only time anyone has ever been excited about the beach closing."

And yes, I AM a Sunset Beach fanboy!

That one works.

They aren't moving The Tonight Show. It will stay at its time period with new host Conan O'Brien. Jay Leno is getting a new show that will be on at the earlier time.

Really? I thought Leno was retiring and they were moving the show to an earlier time period. At least that's what I thought I read online. Did they change it?

Now that's funny.

I think you just misunderstood. As stated Leno has been planning on leaving the Tonight Show. This new show at the earlier time period is something different. The Tonight Show will remain as is in its current time slot with a new host taking over

Geez SNL just sucks these days. That type of smirky, glib, brainless humor is exactly what is wrong with modern comedy. And since when are soaps the home of white viewers? SNL isn't exactly diverse.

Thank you.

That joke was just...bizarre and pointless. Hello, SNL! Black people haven't watched you since Eddie Murphy left! I'm almost 100% positive that MADtv had more black viewers.

I can deal with comedy and jokes and everything, but I can't deal with it when it comes from people who don't know anything about daytime in the first place. "Oh look, Guiding Light is canceled? That's still on?" That's just like those "Look, oh my god, Kevin Bacon was on that show!! So sad that it's being canceled! Look, Calista Flockhart got her start as a star on this show!!!" people. I hate that [!@#$%^&*] with the heat of a thousand nuns.

I may have a new favorite phrase. But what does it mean? What are its origins? I love this more than "sick'ning <snap>"

oh I see. Yes, I totally misunderstood lol... thanks for clearing that up.

I have no clue where it originated lol I would guess that someone mistyped "heat of a thousand suns" and voila.

Why do you hate that? It is a source of pride for the soaps themselves to point to their famous alums. That was included in the P&G press release. I am certainly proud that Another World starred Morgan Freeman and Ray Liotta.

But they played real roles/characters. They weren't, like Flockhart, one-day players. But Bacon played a real role...

It's when they make those performers and their characters seem more important than they were that ticks me off, especially when it means ignoring the people who *really* made an impact. Calista Flockhart was little more than a day-player, yet articles act like she was on contract or something. See this.

It's like...why mention these people instead of the people who gave/have given 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or more years of service to the show?

I think SNL stopped being funny after Mike Myers and Dana Carvey left. '70s SNL was the best, though...

It's funny in pieces. You can't judge the whole, but bits.

Tina Fey was consistently funny. And this season as Sarah Palin.

Justin and D*ck in a Box was funny.

Lots of funny bits, even if the whole show is less consistently funny. And that's fine. As long as there's a little bit of joy, at that hour of the morning, who cares if the rest is filler?
