A Late Night Discussion Post about Late Night TV :)
The 10 Good, Bad and the Truly Dumb Points of NBC Putting Leno on at 10:00    So much for vacations and "work stoppages" - damn you NBC and your inane corporate tinkering! My post Monday on NBC's delicious idea to stop programming as many hours (or even nights) was barely up before the Peacock ruffled even more feathers by announcing that it had signed Jay Leno to do "The Jay Leno Show" five nights a week at 10 p.m. starting next fall. (Granted, Leno's feathers were,

Moonves: CBS to gain from Leno move to prime time
CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves challenged Jay Leno to a ratings duel when the late-night talk show host moves his NBC show to a prime-time slot of 10 p.m. next fall. "I will bet anybody who would like to bet that 'CSI: Miami' on Monday night at 10 o'clock will beat Jay by a lot. Remember that. By a lot," Moonves said Wednesday at an investor conference hosted by UBS. Moonves said CBS was winning the ratings war in four of the five weeknights in the 10 p.m. time slot with its shows such

NBC: The incredible shrinking network
Brian Lowry: Will the Leno shift benefit the broadcaster? -- With its plans to bring Jay Leno to primetime five nights a week, NBC has taken a major step toward no longer qualifying as a major broadcaster -- becoming the Big Three web that ISN'T, as in Incredible Shrinking Network TV.

`Nightline' producer doesn't feel saved
It's possible that Jay Leno's decision to stay at NBC might have saved ABC's "Nightline" from being axed, but the show's producer doesn't think so. If Leno hadn't decided to stay at NBC for a nightly prime-time show, it was a good bet that he'd head to another network. ABC, and the late-night time slot held by "Nightline," would have been a strong possibility, given its attempt to lure David Letterman six years ago. James Goldston, executive producer of "Nightline," says it wasn't a certaint

Is Jay Leno the saviour of NBC?
It seems like almost everyone loves Jay Leno, right? NBC certainly seem to think so and are piling on the pressure hoping that Jay will be the answer to their ratings woe. They are touting the new tentatively titled ‘The Jay Leno Show’ as their big show in the 10pm weeknights slot. Leno has spoken about how he’s planning to keep the best parts of his ‘Tonight Show’ such as the monologue, Jaywalking and guests. With a bigger budget however, Leno is likely to go all

Ed Martin: NBC and Jay Leno Put Broadcast Television in Play
 If nothing else, NBC’s announcement this week that it will in September 2009 turn over one third of its Monday-Friday primetime schedule to Tonight Show host Jay Leno has put broadcast television as we know it into play. Nobody can say what the impact of this first of its kind programming strategy will be in the long run, but it will certainly mark the biggest change to the primetime broadcast landscape since 1971, when CBS, NBC and ABC were made by the FCC to surrender a collective nine hours o

Late-night comedians say the vice-presidential debate was disappointing
LOS ANGELES - After weeks of anticipation, the vice-presidential debate was a letdown - at least for late-night comedians. "There was nothing embarrassing from either candidate," Jay Leno lamented on NBC's "Tonight" show. "Damn." Even the pundits said there were no losers in Thursday's debate between Republican Sarah Palin and Democrat Joe Biden - "OK, other than gay people who want to get married," Leno said. David Letterman devoted much of his CBS "Late Show" Friday to discussion of the debate, incl

Ellen To Anti-Gay Activists: "You Don't Need To Promote Hate."
Newly wed lesbian funny lady Ellen DeGeneres appeared on The Tonight Show on Tuesday and took some time to urge voters to vote against Proposition 8, the ballot measure aiming to overturn California's gay marriage. Taking aim at those people raising millions to fight same-sex love, Ellen remarks: I look at the people who are losing their homes and they're foreclosing – and people in Texas who have lost homes… There are so many people that need money right now – and if you’re raising

Fables - Has ABC found the next 'Lost'?
Thanks to The ODI for the heads up.According to a recent story in the Hollywood Reporter, the network has bought the rights to the comic book "Fables," and will make a pilot in the new year.I recently read the 11 collected volumes of the “Fables” series, which writer Bill Willingham introduced in 2002 and which is still going strong. Though it took me a while to invest in Willingham’s characters -- most of whom come from the realm of fairy tales but live in contemporary New York -- the well constructe
