The Smarmy Marthafocker wins again

So Leno gets back the show he was forced to retire from and Conan's back to Late Late Night. Hope Conan has contract language ramming it up NBC's ass. |

January 7, 2010, 7:49 pm Update: NBC Plan Would Move Leno Back to Late Nights By BILL CARTER NBC Conan O’Brien, left, and Jay Leno on the set of “The Tonight Show” when Mr. Leno was the host. Pressed by affiliates and shrinking ratings, NBC has a plan in the works to radically alter its late-night television lineup, restoring Jay Leno to his old spot at 11:35 each weeknight, while pushing the man who replaced him, Conan O’Brien, to a starting time of 12:05 a.m. NBC executives held extensive discussions with Mr. Leno and Mr. O’Brien on Thursday about the future of the network’s late-night lineup. And while NBC officially said no final decision on the plan had been made, two senior NBC executives who had talked to the top management about the moves said that under the plan being discussed, Mr. Leno would definitely shift back to 11:35 but in a half-hour format, while Mr. O’Brien would slide back his start time by a half hour and then produce an hourlong show. “We remain committed to keeping Conan O’Brien on NBC,” the network said in a statement Thursday evening. “He is a valued part of our late-night lineup, as he has been for more than 16 years, and is one of the most respected entertainers on television.” The third NBC late-night star, Jimmy Fallon, would then begin his show at 1:05 a.m., the executives said. The revised lineup would go into effect after NBC concludes its coverage of the Winter Olympics on Feb. 28. NBC will pre-empt its prime-time and late-night lineup for more than two weeks to cover the Olympics, creating a natural break in which to put the late-night changes into effect. |

Smarmy Marthafocker???
If you feel someone, anyone, is a 'smarmy marthafoker' or whatever other designation for denigration you choose, do us a favor and enumerate the specific reasons you feel that way. 'If you can't see it' is no basis for discussion whatsoever.

NBC screwed up when the resigned Conan to his latest contract. It was written in the contract that if he was not the late show host by 2010, NBC would owe Conan 10 or 25 million dollars. I don't remember which amount, I first remembered 25 but then I thought it was too much and may have been 10.

I remember Carson most for his skits, willingness to make an ass of himself if it got a laugh, and his rapport with his guests. I see Conan very much in the same light. Letterman, to me, always came off greasy and never compelling. |

wow. Leno sucks now. Used to be good but Conan is much better. Even Jimmy Fallon is doing better than Leno now.

There is something I just like about Fallon's show, he is a bit stiff, a bit out of his comfort zone, but I always seem to enjoy it. Though I don't watch it regularly.

NBC is truly the most poorly run network in the history of television now.
