*Most of us on here, and America, know about the 'war' going on over at late night on NBC. I'm asking if you care, but even more so if you think there is something askew with the heads of all media at NBC, maybe even the other networks. Those very rich executives that seem to make every decision for how we, the majority, should be 'entertained'. And no one knows who these people are...as people. Do they even care about other people?? Conan has said that he is being ousted for not putting up ratings that satisfied the executives. BUT, it has only been 7 months! Not even a baby is born in 7 months! Good things, most of the time, take time. Yes, Leno's rating were better (not after this 'war' clears), BUT only slightly better. Not enough to obscure late night tradition. Some would say why do we even need tradition? We need to keep things fresh. Tradition, in general, is a staple for most people in an unpredictable society. Tradition is kind of like a rest & relaxation thing. We all have traditions that we hold sacred. Whether you like that tradition or not, other people do. in fact, it's tradition because more people like it than few. It's a tradition because it works. Why replace something that doesn't need to be replaced; or for that matter broken.
Anyways, Conan feels he is being ousted out of this esteemed spot and Leno wants the esteemed spot back; even though his ratings were fine at 10pm. Leno even approved of the contract to give over the tonight show to Conan 4 years ago. Let's put aside the 'who is funnier' argument and really say who is more entertaining. Conan is; hands down. In terms of comedy he is always trying something new to keep us entertained even if it doesn't work. That means also that Conan tends to be more creative. Again, Conan seems to understand why he has and enjoys his job: people. Yet, the few big-wigs at NBC are making the call for so many people. Most people that don't even watch Conan know something smells foul behind this whole debacle. If we as the people let this stand who knows what else these big-wigs will take away just because they don't like it, and in their heads screw everyone else.
*I apologize for the poll being only one answer. That was not my intention. Feel free to start a new one.
