NBC is run by Chimps wearing suits.
After yesterday’s rant on NBC’s current BS, it seems that they have decided once again to up the ante on the shittiness. Now, TMZ is reporting that Big Chin and NBC have formally agreed to put him back on the Tonight Show, ousting Conan for good. I’m hoping like hell that this isn’t true. God help the network if it is. Over 100,000 people have joined the group I’m With Coco on Facebook. That’s right, I said OVER 100,000. The fact that NBC isn’t taking notice of the massive outpouring of support for O’Brien just proves how completely out of touch they are. I know people are calling in to Jeff Zucker’s office to let him know of our displeasure. I know I did. I’ll post his number at the end of this blog in case anyone else wants to as well.
I absolutely furious over this whole situation. Conan has been nothing but classy yet Leno and NBC have thrown all kinds of shit at him. Have the NBC executives mysteriously devolved about 6 million or so years and turned back into chimpanzees? That can be the only explanation for the amount feces that’s been slung at Conan’s head during this past week. Why is it so hard for people to move on? I understand that Leno is like the robe my father has had since before I was born. He’s comfortable. But he’s also worn out and ugly. I have never once seen a show with Leno (though admittedly, I never watched him regularly) where he didn’t go after someone in a mean-spirited way. I want smart, witty Conan who would go after people but end up making them smile as well. He was more likely to make jokes about himself than anyone else. That’s one of the things I love most about him: his self-deprecating humor. Yes, he laughs at other people but he has the ability to laugh at himself too. That is something that Leno has never done.
To top it all off, Leno is trying to look like the victim in all of this. It’s not working, you big chinned freak, so cut it out. We all know that it’s Conan that’s been viciously shoved to the side in an effort to appease you. In case we have all forgotten, appeasement doesn’t work. Just ask Europe how well it worked out with Hitler. I’ll admit, Leno is not as bad as Hitler. But the concept is the same. You can not cow someone’s arrogance by handing them something. Parents know you can‘t just give a child everything they want. Why hasn’t NBC recognize that Leno is just a petulant child who is threatening to hold his breath until he’s allowed to have ice cream for dinner? It’s time they send him off to sulk in his room until he agrees to be a big boy and get his head out of his ass.
I’m sorry, normally I try to control the amount of wrath that I allow to spew forth. However, this requires nothing less than me loudly proclaiming: Fuck Leno, Fuck NBC! I won’t watch either unless Conan O’Brien stays as the Tonight Show Host at 11:35pm ET/ 10:35pm CT. There is nothing on NBC worth watching other than Conan for me. If Leno elbows him out, I will gladly boycott NBC and follow Conan to wherever he decides to make his new home. No one will ever be able to take the place that funny, sexy red-head holds in my heart. Conan was someone I looked up to, I still do. He has refused to take NBC’s bullshit and shredded them night after night since this whole mess started. It is NBC and their relentless kowtowing to someone whose prime is long gone that have made this whole CLUSTERFUCK possible. Let LeNO go on his way. Tell him to retire to stand-up. At least then I won’t have to listen to him.
