There is a lot going on today…Ugly Betty has low ratings, they’re doing The Bachelor All-Stars, and The Middle, Modern Family, and Cougar Town have all been renewed for a second season…but the only thing REALLY going on is the Conan drama. I’m sad for Conan, and I think he has every right to be mad.

Keep on fighting the good fight Conan. You’re a good man!

Here are Flipit’s thoughts on the madness:

The Jay Leno Show was a huge gamble, and a huge loss. NBC is now trying to make everyone happy by inviting them all to the party. Problem is, there aren’t enough gift bags so they’re taking one crappy bag and dividing it among all the kids. Kids hate lame party favors. Personally, I think Jay had his chance and he boned it hard. He’s got like five hundred cars or something, right? He needs to do what Johnny Carson did when he left The Tonight Show. Golf. I say keep Conan where he is, if for nothing else than to see what he does with his bangs from season to season.

I just wish that Patricia Arquette had written a letter after Medium was cancelled. I’ll bet hers woulda been way scarier. “Nancy Regan came to me in my sleep and told me if you cancelled my show you would have ten years of shitty luck. Love Not, Patricia”.

Here’s a funny clip of Conan being interviewed by Zach Galifianakis:

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    How could NBC screw this up any more? Now they’ve alienated Conan and made themselves look bad (they are bad) with a dumb kneejerk reaction. On AOL, people are siding almost 90% with Conan, even though it says in his contract that NBC can air the Tonight Show anytime up to 12:05 AM. Everybody thinks that Conan should leave.

    Way to take a screwed up situation and screw it up even more, NBC!

    Nads! When do you sleep?! In my head you have some sort of glass tan-bed-ish device which enables you to have REM sleep for 5 minutes a day so you can spend the rest of it on TVGasm and in Hollywood! Just for the record, even though I don’t comment on these a lot, I totally ‘purciate what you do for us at TVGasm.

    Flipit – your undying love for Medium is the sweetest thing ever. Like, in the world.

    Anyway. Even though Conan’s contract said that they could air the tonight show as late as 12:05, it’s time for Leno to take the high road, to eat humble pie, to succumb to all my cliches, and step down. He’s 59. My aunt took an early retirement at 55. And she was a flippin’ teacher. In IOWA. It’s like Jay asked us to the prom and said he’d get a limo and a room at the Ramada for afterwards . . . but we went to the dance in his grandma’s Gremlin and he totally DID NOT get the key to the room. Cuz Jay doesn’t want to go all the way. Go all the way, Jay. Go all the way.
