Conan O'Brien deserves better than this


Have you heard about this (for lack of a better word) crap that's going on with Conan O'Brien and the Tonight Show?  The network is threatening to move him to the 12:05 p.m. time slot and move Jay Leno back to 11:35 p.m. after several months of failing in primetime.

So let me get this straight NBC.  You're moving one of the funniest men I know to a later time slot, and let's face it, when everyone is already asleep, because Jay Leno is flopping in the ratings?  It's so bad, NBC affiliates are threatening to drop Leno because his terrible ratings are creating a domino affect hurting newscasts.

This is exactly why the networks and television stations around this country are going bankrupt and cutting jobs left and right.  They make stupid decisions.  Their decision makers are mostly middle-aged white men who don't know want people in the real world want.  In their nice offices, cars, and homes, they remain out-of-touch.

Conan wrote a statement today saying he won't accept this move.  In his true humorous fashion, he ended the statement by saying, "Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it's always been that way."

My prediction is another network with scoop him up right away, and that network will laugh all the way to the bank.
