Late Night Wars

There was a time when my blog title would refer to the rivalry between Jay Leno and David Letterman. Back and forth they went, and both developed their fanbase. Now my blog title refers to people from the same station! It looks like Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and even Jimmy Fallon are part of some big fight.

Basically NBC made a huge mistake by moving Jay Leno to primetime. It was an experiment that obviously didn't work. But how do they fix the mistake? Conan was signed as the TONIGHT SHOW host. Now the idea is to start Jay's "new" half-hour show at 11:35pm (as his show once was) and then start the Tonight Show at 12:05AM followed by Jimmy Fallon at 1:05am. That's silly. And poor Carson Daly loses his show altogether. It looks like Conan is going to leave NBC, and he should. Jay Leno is starting to look like the Brett Favre of late night (and that's a negative connotation). Silly people.
