Well, it must be these two above, dontcha think? By the time NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon finishes airing it's first episode whenever that might be, viewers of that network will have watched three hours and 37 minutes of people talking. Just people talking, whether it be Jay Leno's new 10 pm show or their local news or Conan or Fallon laughing at his own jokes.(Well, at least now when he looks at the camera, unlike at SNL, he won't be mugging it up, he'll be talking to you.

So, in effect, Jay Leno is providing a bailout for the failed practices of Ben Silverman. Even Silverman, that partyhog, gets a bailout. Scumbo.I'll tell you this, if I'm CBS and ABC I'm gonna very aggressively counterprogram against this will the best product I can put out there. Because I just don't see people turning away from quality shows to watch J...

original description

In March 2009, Conan O’Brien will finally relieve the television audience of Jay Leno, but there is an unfortunate aftereffect from this move. Jimmy Fallon will once more be on television. Fallon is taking over for Conan and is most certainly destined for an epic failure. In an effort to hype this up, NBC will begin [...]
