Sean B. Fitzgerald It doesn’t go something like this, it goes exactly like this.

For the record…

Hopefully, NBC comes to their senses (I doubt they will) and decides to cut ties with Jay Leno in order to keep Conan at the 11:35 slot. If they choose otherwise, Leno must have compromising pictures of Jeff Zucker. That is the only explanation. Because Leno is so incredibly stale, unoriginal, and cookie-cutter it's a disgrace to comedy. Leno sold his soul eighteen years ago when he took over The Tonight Show following Johnny Carson. Look, I understand that it is necessary to dumb down your material in order to appeal to a larger audience, but what Leno has done is criminal. I laugh more times during an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

It's funny actually. Lets say by some miracle that NBC goes with Conan and lets go of Leno, this whole debacle will shoot him straight to the top of the ratings. That, coupled with the fact that he knows he has NBC by the balls, he can do whatever he wants comedically. It will end of being Late Night at 11:35. Fingers crossed.
