The Marriage Ref???
Eric Somers, February 2nd 2010Ahem. I’m sorry, let me begin again. AHEM. There. Do I have your attention now? Because I’m here to talk about what, sitcoms? No. I’m here to talk about one specific non-sitcom. I’m here to talk about The Marriage Ref, a new reality show starring comedian Tom Papa and executive produced by Jerry Seinfeld. Look, I like Tom Papa as much as the next guy. In fact, I’m a fan, and I’m happy as hell for the guy that he’s getting a network television show. But what in tarnation is Jerry Seinfeld doing producing it? “It’s not a reality show,” [...]
NBC is the Last Place Conan belongs
Mike Fellows, January 23rd 2010Pun perfected. I wouldn’t normally say this about a privileged wonder(bread) kid that has spent the better part of the last two decades raking in gross amounts of money in a dream job setting, but Conan O’Brien deserves better. Better than a beaten up, out of touch, spineless banality factory of a network. NBC, which apparently stands for Never Be Comical, is abandoning all faith in a performer that has performed consistently excellent year in and year out. The Peacock is in last place, and they are exerting the type of attitude that might lead one to believe that that’s [...]
NBC announces $45M deal with Conan O’Brien
Mike Casentini, January 21st 2010Well, it’s unfortunate but official, Conan O’Brien is leaving The Tonight Show with his last performance coming this Friday, January 22nd. For the past week, Conan has been opening the show with monologues fun filled with heavy hitting blows at NBC and Jay Leno, leaving you with this sense that his time is limited. On Tuesday, he opened by saying, “Hi, I’m Conan O’Brien and I’m just three days away from the biggest drinking binge in history.” Well the deal has been inked, which is said to be worth $45M. NBC will pay Conan about $32.5M and the rest will [...]
Conan O’Brien is Leaving The Tonight Show
Mike Casentini, January 19th 2010It’s not official, but it looks like Conan O’Brien will be leaving “The Tonight Show.” This is a complete disappointment to fans of the show as well as the fans of the franchise. Last night on “The Jay Leno Show,” Jay decided to offer his point of view on the whole situation, which was an obvious attempt to selfishly save face. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me! Remember the days, when entertaining an audience meant you actually had to entertain the audience? Boy, those were the days, but now it is all about reality TV moments. Here’s a nickels worth [...]
Conan O’Brien Says He Won’t Take NBC’s Deal To Move Time-Slots
Mike Casentini, January 12th 2010Conan 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 [...]
