Conan O'Brien

Conan O’Brien has just announced that he will NOT be taking NBC’s offer to move the “TONIGHT SHOW” to the 12:05am time-slot. He went on to say, that any move would ruin the show permanently and that he hopes a deal can be made with NBC to stay in the same time-slot. Well NBC, the ball is now in your court, and all I have to say is, don’t mess it up.

NBC has a real big problem with transitioning shows. This disaster happened 18 years ago with Jay Leno and David Lettermen and now…Conan O’Brien. It is so sad that NBC hasn’t learned from its mistakes. I guess this is why NBC is in last place, poor decision making. Come on Jeff Z.!

NBC, this is what you should do if you want to continue to be respected as a producer of quality television programming. You need to tell Jay Leno, it has been fun, but it is time to say “Goodbye.” You can’t continue to give Jay Leno everything he asks for. It’s simply not fair to Conan or Jimmy Fallen. This problem impacts Conan and Jimmy’s staff personally as well as their fans, which they work so hard for night in and night out.

I get business and I know that both shows are not doing as well as they once did in their former time-slots, but damage has been done. You can not move Jay back to his old time-slot and think you’ll fix the problem, because his fans have moved on. It is now time to invest strength and passion for the new face of the TONIGHT SHOW. Conan and his staff have made a major life move to California to continue the legacy of one of the greatest shows on television. Conan’s numbers will improve and you will hate seeing that when you read the Nielsen’s. Don’t be foolish.

Here’s how you pull NBC out of last place. It begins with going back to basics. For one, bring back the sitcom. It seems to work for every other network. I know you guys want to save money, then I suggest going after unknown talent. Turn nobodies into house-hold names and stop paying MOVIE STARS to play television roles. Give me a chance and I will take you out of the red!
