Norm McDonald visits Conan with a gift basket
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010It’s a lovely card. Maybe you haven’t heard, but NBC decided they want Jay Leno to go back to the 11:35 slot — for a half hour. This half hour show of Leno twiddling his thumbs and telling jokes will push back hour-long The Tonight Show, that thing that’s been on since… since forever (like the 1960s?), that comes on at 11:35pm est. I’m not always one for tradition, but it would be a little weird for The Tonight Show to not be on after the news on weeknights, and even weirder to still have to deal with Jay Leno.
Sidenote, you ratings people: Supposedly no one is watching Conan. A whole mess of young people watch Conan the day after broadcast on the internet rather than on the television at the time of airing. My cohort brought this up after seeing yet another article on the Leno O’Brien NBC shitstorm, and he’s right. Most of the shows I watch, I see them online with Hulu. Do THOSE viewings get counted? Eh? Eh?!?!
That reminds me, I need to catch up on Community episodes.
