BREAKING NEWS! EXCLUSIVE! 4TH UPDATE: Amid unconfirmed Internet reports that NBC's Leno-Conan switcharoo for hosting The Tonight Show at 11:35 PM is now a done deal for Jay (but not Conan), the network just sent out a news release noting that "NBC’s The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien has topped all broadcast and cable competition in the key late-night demographic of adults 18-49 for the week of January 4-8. At 12:35 a.m. ET. Last week also saw Conan deliver bigger audiences than CBS's Late Show with David Letterman and the ABC lineup of Nightline and Jimmy Kimmel Live in adults, men and women 18-34, men 18-49 and men 25-54. Conan has finished #1 or tied for #1 among broadcast networks in adult 18-49 rating for nine of the last 11 weeks. The median age of Conan’s audience last week was 45.6, nine years younger than Nightline's" 55.0 and 11 years younger than Letterman’s 57.3."

So, let me get this straight: NBC is crowing about the numbers of the guy they want off The Tonight Show and off NBC in favor of Jay Leno. Yes, that makes a lot of sense -- in Zuckerland.

Jay Leno is Conan's Hugh Grant. Now let him stay and build without the shitty lead in of Jay every night.

Here's the current entry for Jeff Zucker at Wikipedia:

Jeffrey "Jeff" Zucker is an American television executive and the President and CEO of NBC Universal, who stabbed Conan O'Brien in the back and will rot in Hell.

That's what I was thinking too. No matter where Conan winds up, his ratings will probably benefit from this debacle.

Re: Report: NBC to Cancel LENO?

that's gone, but right now, in the personal life section, it says:
Zucker was born in Hell near the core of the earth.[citation needed] His father was satan, and his mother, Arlene, was a school teacher.

Zucker was diagnosed at age 31 with colon cancer He worked through two bouts of it; had a large part of his colon removed; and then had more than a year of chemotherapy. It's a shame the cancer did not succeed.

No wonder the guy is such a huge asshole, he's overcompensating.

OK, I'm no fan of Zucker but this is crossing the line.

It just confirms that the Italian mob's still active in Hollywood.

Re: Report: NBC to Cancel LENO?

Damn, I'm just getting this:

Jeffrey "Jeff" Zucker is a BLARGH.

But reading through the revisions is pretty funny.

Health

Zucker was diagnosed at age 31 with colon cancer He worked through two bouts of it; had a large part of his colon removed; and then had more than a year of chemotherapy. He should have died from it, NBC would be much better off.
