12.02.09 KILL IT. KILL IT WITH FIRE.
Go ahead and fondle your secretary on your way out of work today, then do all the drugs you can find, get a hooker, and kill someone in cold blood. You may as well, because the world ends tonight at 10:00 Eastern, when Jay Leno’s guests are Dane Cook and Kim Kardashian. Let me say that again: Jay Leno, Dane Cook, and Kim Kardashian. You can’t possibly squeeze less talent into one show unless you’re making an MTV reality series.
This apocalyptic nightmare, by the way, comes on the heels of President Obama bumping “The Jay Leno Show” from NBC’s lineup last night. Guess what happened.
A primetime speech from President Obama forced NBC to squeeze out “The Jay Leno Show” for the first time this fall. The result, not so coincidentally, was a demographic win for the network… Among adults 18-49, NBC won the night with a 3.2 rating. CBS was second with a 2.4 rating, nipping the 2.1 rating for FOX.
Let’s all cut Obama some slack, okay? Television without Leno is change I can believe in.
