Administrator Toups Posted January 22, 2010 Administrator Share Posted January 22, 2010 Did anyone see Conan last night? He played an old Rolling Stones song and the music rights costs about 1.5 million, which NBC had to pay for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtvwIU3YB5Y Actually, that's pretty hilarious. And that comment about "Joey". LMAO One this is for sure is that Conan, Letterman, Leno, Kimmell have been pretty funny these past two weeks. The monologues have been top notch and the sketchs were brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I saw that. I wonder how he is getting away with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 22, 2010 Administrator Share Posted January 22, 2010 LOL I have no idea. I loved his reaction afterwards, he was like, "What is NBC going to do me? Oh wait......" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 They are, but then, they're millionaires, so what does that say about our entertainment industry... The only time I've found Leno tolerable in recent years is when he makes guest spots on Ed Begley Jr's TV show, Living With Ed (does anyone watch that?). Kimmel was right to mock the classic cars, but they're definitely a sight to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 He's been doing that a lot and so have his guests. When Ricky Gervais was on he started swearing up a blue streak and he kept saying "What are they going to do? Fire you? Take you off the air?!" I have to admit that the whole situation is weird. Usually when a company fires someone, they walk them off the premises. They don't say "Here why don't you stick around and play on the computer for a few weeks?"

Members DRW50 Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 More journalists throwing pity parties for Jay: http://www.newsweek.com/id/232091 This will probably be a lot of the spin, poor Jay is the real "victim," what a tragedy for him. A lot of the media hyped up his move to 10 PM and they are going to try to make him a martyr so they won't lose complete face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted January 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ugh. I can't stand the idea of this asshat getting his old tired show back. Leno is also hosting this years White House Correspondent's dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 If he continues to lose his cool with Letterman and other media outlets, he won't look like the victim for long. That's probably Letterman's strategy by continuing this war with Leno. And the Oprah Interview: http://news-briefs.ew.com/2010/01/22/oprah-to-interview-jay-leno/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted January 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Oprah oy. NBC is in full "rebuild Jay's image mode" now. Oh and this from Jimmy Kimmel is actually probably the best thing I've seen done on all this Late Night nonsense. I have to hand to to Kimmel. While I'm not a fan, the stuff he has done regarding this tops anything Conan, Letterman, or Leno has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 After the Sarah Palin fluff I can't say this makes me lose respect for Oprah I already didn't have, but geez. Her show has gone from being about ordinary people to being endless PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted January 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Her show has gone on about 3 years longer than it should have. I am actually happy she's ending it. As for Jay, ^&&%&%^& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bellcurve Posted January 23, 2010 Members Share Posted January 23, 2010 Not surprisingly, the last edition of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien was a ratings magnet for the ailing NBC. The comedian, who talked about how he “did it my way” and did not “regret a second,” earned a whopping 7.0 rating/16 share in 55 of the country’s metered markets (the most immediate numbers available). Ratings for his fellow latenight hosts didn’t even come close: The Late Show with David Letterman averaged a mere 2.5/5, while Nightline earned a 2.8/6, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, a 1.3/4. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, however, was able to draft off of O’Brien’s success: his show averaged a respectible 3.3/10, easily beating Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (1.5/4). Final ratings for last night are due Jan. 28. http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2010/01/23/conan-obriens-farewell-attracts-big-ratings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
