Conan Slams NBC In Public Statement

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment, Television on January 12th, 2010 by drfunkenberry

We knew it was coming and Conan came out swinging.

Conan released this statement:

People of Earth:

In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky.

That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.

Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.

But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.

Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news.

I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot.

That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.

So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.

There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.

Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way

Wow. What do you think of that?-Dr.FB

Leno Show Cancelled As Late Night Lays In Limbo

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment, Television on January 11th, 2010 by drfunkenberry

NBC made the news “official” when they announced the cancellation of “The Jay Leno Show” on Sunday, which will take place Feb. 12th.

NBC wants Jay back at 11:30 P.M., and Conan either at 12:00 or 12:30 followed by Jimmy Fallon.  In my opinion, Conan took his late night slot too easy in the sense of he never thought there was going to be a threat of it being taken away. 

For those that followed an article I wrote back in August, where I called Conan the George W. Bush of talk show hosts, I saw this coming.   NBC says what they will do with Conan will be made clear in the future.  The reason they say that, is they expect either Conan to walk away and go elsewhere or get a huge pay day, or, the most surprising, for him to stay where he is.

Let’s be honest here; a 30 minute Leno show won’t work.  They say 30 minutes but they want Leno for the full hour.  They knew the announcement would upset Conan and it did.  It’s interesting because they said they spoke with Conan and Fallon on Sunday and they were both “cool” with the decision. 

More will be made clear with Conan soon but I have a feeling it will take some time.  Negotiations with NBC between Jay, Conan, and Jimmy are expected to start today.-Dr.FB
