There was a pretty good made for TV movie about the whole late night wars debacle…it was called The Late Shift. What’s funny about this whole thing now is that back when Leno took over from Carson it was considered such a failure early-on that NBC almost went back and pulled Leno to be replaced by Letterman. Now the same thing is going on with Leno in the spoiler role.
Regardless, it’s a little sad that today this is getting as much if not more news coverage as the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
Good for you Conan.
You’re funny, Leno’s not anymore.
And I’d kill for that hair.
word.
They should both find a new home at FOX and stick it to NBC.
Here’s a link to the illustrator that did the Conan art,
Mike Mitchell. Good stuff.
Direct link to his Conan campaign.
Good for Conan, standing up for himself and all.
This game has been played before. Wasn’t there a book about the politics of late night, time slots and the Letterman/Leno feud?

I would disagree Danny. Yesterday b4 the Haiti earthquake it was hot news but all I’m hearing today is wall to wall coverage of the earthquake.
You may be right at this point. I was just basing everything on what I woke up to this morning and what was being covered last night.
Dave weighed in last night. Very funny!
