Jerry Seinfeld may be on Team Leno, but not David Letterman. Letterman is Team Conan all the way, dude! In this video, knowing from Dave’s experience of working with NBC, he knows how greedy and egostitical NBC can be. He even slams Leno a little bit.
I think CBS should be Conan’s new home!

Yet, more evidence that soap operas on TV are dying. The more soap operas cancel on TV, soon there will none at all. First, “Guiding Light”, got the boot. What’s next? Yep, that’s right, “As the World Turns” will be soon booted off the air. The show will air it’s finale in September, then they will stop production and writing for good.

What’s the next soap that will get cancelled soon? I’m predicting, “Days of Our Lives”.

I just want to respond to this:
http://www.tmz.com/2009/11/25/early-show-censors-gay-kiss-when-its-men/
There is a reason that girl on girl action doesn’t get censored on TV and man on man action does. That word again, the “ick factor”. Look it up if you don’t know what it means.
I’ve said in a blog post that people are used to seeing girl on girl make out action, while most people don’t want to see man on man action. It’s really quite simple to understand.
Do you ever wonder why in “soft core porn”, they are willing to show the woman fully naked but they never show the man’s privates? It’s that “ick factor” that straight men don’t wanna see. If you want to see everything, watch the hardcore porn.
Man on man action and male nudity is not allowed on regular TV for many reasons. Basically, the only reason is that the soft core porn industry and regular TV don’t want to turn off the straight male viewers.
I don’t see a double standard in any of this at all. It’s just the people’s way of defending “equality” and gay rights.
The censoring on the “Early Show” and cancelling the Good Morning America performance, has nothing to do with Adam Lambert. It’s all about the material that is being brought in the performance.
I agree with the censoring. I don’t think any guy would want to wake up in the morning and while switching channels you see that going on while he’s drinking coffee or something before work.
Girl on girl kissing is less graphic than man on man action.
On top of that, this isn’t the first time that famous bands brought in homosexual material into their performances. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers has done it many times, also David Bowie and Nirvana has done it. Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl made out on stage plenty of times.
Adam Lambert needs to leave this stuff at the gay bars. This is where he needs to go back to performing, not on TV. I’m not being anti-gay. Adam Lambert is an attention whore with a capital W and he’s just doing whatever it takes to help promote his upcoming album.

So Letterman apologized to his wife and staff on an episode of the Late Show earlier this week. He maybe a cheater and maybe a sex addict, but the way I look at it, there is nothing wrong with being a sex addict. There are people like that everywhere. While I agree it is wrong to cheat while you’re already married or in a relationship, there is nothing wrong with having a sex addiction. It’s called being a guy. There are people out there that love sex and can’t get enough of it. I find that totally cool. If you want to have fun, getting laid with different women, go for it. Just don’t get married or don’t be in a committed relationship if you’re going to be a playa.
Why would the media get into Letterman’s personal life? They aren’t. Letterman made it public on his TV show which means it gives the right for the public to discuss and debate about. It was all up to him if he wanted to bring his personal life to the public and that’s what he’s doing.
Honestly though, it wasn’t only to save himself or to try and publicly humiliate John Halderman…I see this as a cry for more ratings. Whatever it takes to get more ratings, more power to him. He’s competing with Jay Leno and Conan O’ Brien in the ratings as you can see now.

Now that David Letterman confessed to affairs with different women from the staff of the “Late Show” is a divorce from his current wife, Regina Lasko, on the way?
You may think, Regina’s gotta be heartbroken about this since David revealed this on TV. I’m sure she is heartbroken. I’m sure Letterman already told her everything way before he revealed it on TV. She probably wanted him to do this and gave him the permission to.
You ask, why would Letterman reveal his private life to the public on TV? Well for one, he wanted to save his family from Blackmail and it was Letterman’s way of confronting CBS John Halderman publicily. It was also Letterman’s way of publicily humiliating John Halderman. A revenge kind of thing.
So is a divorce on the way for Letterman and Lasko? Maybe, maybe not. I’m sure she already knows about his sex addiction. It’s all up to her if she wants to stay with him. You’ll never know.
Me, thinks, they will stay together as a married couple.

Don’t mess with the TV stations, Dan. They always win with all the power they have.

Soap Operas in day time TV are dying. First, “Passions”, got pulled off the air. “Guiding Light” could be next. CBS might pull the plug on “Guiding Light” due to bad ratings.
See the article here:
http://www.tvweek.com/news/2009/03/cbs_shopping_for_light_replace.php
I don’t watch “Guiding Light”, only soap I watch is “Days of Our Lives”. If “Days” gets cancelled sooner or later, I won’t be so heartbroken about it, ’cause the storylines on “Days” has been pretty bad lately. “Days” used to be real good in the past, but the show has been a bit of a trainwreck lately.
I think that’s why people are losing interest in Soaps, and why they are dying because the storylines are so bad. It’s like Jerry Springer vs. WWE in all of them.
If daytime soaps want to get successful and stay on the air, they need better writing and better acting with the cast.

Way to go Dan! Kick CBS’s ass! I’m rooting for Dan to win this all the way. I’ll be keeping an eye on this news.

Katie Couric finally speaks out after months and months of non stop rumours of her leaving CBS. She finally confirmed that she’s staying at CBS. So for the people that started the rumours on her, there is her message in the picture above.

Stupid people. The internet is an easy place to start rumours on someone knowing from my own experience.
But that’s okay, the more people talk shit, the more popular they are making that person. So keep bringing on the tabloids.
