I would have used Coke Zero instead.

We have a problem,” Gaspin seconded, stepping up to the task. “Our affiliates are incredibly unhappy with 10 o’clock. They want us to make a change. If we don’t, they’re threatening to pre-empt. We’ve got a real problem here.” Gaspin spoke directly to Leno, and he could read the impact of his words on Jay’s face.

“What do you want to do?” the host asked.

Gaspin, though feeling terrible, didn’t hold back. “We’re going to pull the show,” he said.

Very quietly Leno said, “O.K.”

Debbie Vickers grasped the bottom line: We’ve just been fired.

The room fell silent. At last, Jay spoke up again. “What do you want to do?” he said. “How do you want to handle it?”
Quote:
“I want you to go back to 11:30,” Gaspin said.

Jay’s relief, Gaspin noticed, was instantaneous. His face lifted and brightened. “Yeah, let’s do it!” he said, the pitch of his voice almost as high as his performance level.
Douch.

I wonder if he's keeping the beard or if he'll be shaving on Monday?


I've noticed that TBS has purchased ad time on network prime time this week. I fast forward through commercials, but I saw the "desk wash" promo during one of the ABC comedy shows on Wednesday (I think Modern Family, but I'm not positive) and then surprisingly Thursday during 30 Rock on NBC.

Doesn't having Lopez on before Conan just recreate the same issue with Conan and Jay?

Conan will be on before Lopez, and it apparently was Lopez's idea. He knows he'll likely get a better audience being on at midnight after Conan than he did being on at 11 after whatever TBS shows in prime time.

That Lopez guy really isn't funny. Good to see Conan back on tv but TBS just seems like such a second rate network/channel to me.

The only people that look bad in that article are the NBC people. Especially Zucker.

He comes across as a , no two ways about it. The way he acted all innocent, golly gee shucks publicly, and how quickly he accepted the move back to 11:30 (as stated in this slice from the book) screams r

Gotta start somewhere, AMC wished they were 2nd rate not too long ago, now they have Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead.

so i saw an ad for Conan on NBC of all places, during 30 Rock. i imagine TBS had to pay a hefty premium for that one

Jon Dore is an interesting guest. I didn't think he really had a following outside of Canada.
