BREAKING NEWS: Jay Leno is staying put at NBC late night!!!!

Leave a comment

Just when everyone thought that Jay Leno is retiring from TV late night and leaving NBC studios, it seems that Leno changed his mind and the iconic talk show host isn’t leaving anytime soon!!!

NBC announced they will give Leno a deal where he can appear on NBC at the 10 p.m. hour. They also gave Leno a better pay deal as well. Leno is reportedly to make $40 to $50 million a year for his 10:00 p.m. slot. He’ll be able to buy more cars and motorcycles!!!

Jay Leno’s move will be similar to how he usually have his shows. You know, the usual making fun of news reports, interviews with two celebrities and a musical guest. Jimmy Fallon will take over Conan O’ Brien when Conan moves to an earlier hour on March 4th.

Jay will never retire, he’ll be doing late night ’til the day he dies. What a copout!!!! I don’t like Jay Leno that much and I was hoping that he would be gone but nope. I think Conan’s the best late night host, I watch Conan all the time. Conan makes me laugh, Jay doesn’t.

EDIT TO ADD: On a side note, the only reason NBC is paying Leno more is that they are doing whatever it takes to make him stay at NBC. NBC doesn’t want him to leave.

Thought: “Rosie Live” premiere…a disaster…

Leave a comment

I tried to watch her variety show premiered now as I type this and I can’t even get through the first half hour. I wonder how the ratings would do on this first episode. I would be surprised if the ratings are even so high. Rosie is a horrible host, a bad actress, and her speaking voice is just awful. I switched the channel in the first half hour, that’s enough for me.

Even the Nancy Grace segment interupting her show calling Rosie a bully and threatening lawyers at her on public TV wasn’t even funny. Everyone knows that was a stupid act and scripted.

John Mayer’s upcoming variety show would be better than this piece of garbage. I would suggest everyone else change the channel to help the ratings get lower. That way it’ll be faster for the show to get cancelled. Rosie is a fat pig who doesn’t deserve her own TV show.

Report: “Friday Night Lights” Season 3 set to return Jan. 16th at 9:00 p.m.!!!

Leave a comment

While NBC had just announced their January lineup for TV, they confirmed a return date for “Friday Night Lights” which critics called it the best show on television is making a comeback for Season 3 on January 16th at 9:00 p.m. which is a Friday night. January 16th is the perfect time for the show to comeback since the Superbowl is on Feb. 1st, hopes the show will get more ratings this year for a hopeful Season 4 of FNL.

NBC just axed Christian Slater’s “My Own Worst Enemy”, “Lipstick Jungle”, and “Crusoe”. Poor Christian Slater, this just proves that Slater belongs on the big screen, not on the small screen.

WOOT! So happy that FNL is coming back around Jan. FNL is one of my favorite shows on TV and glad the show is coming back. The show has good acting, good storytelling, good drama, and most of all, the show has hot looking babes! Can’t wait for FNL! Fuck yeah!

Leave a comment

NBC has greenlighted Rosie O’ Donnell to get her own TV show for prime time. “Rosie’s Variety Show” will air on Nov. 26 at 8 p.m. live in New York City. The show is basically the same deal as Letterman/Leno/O’ Brien. The “Rosie Variety Show” will feature comedy skits in the beggining, celebrity appearances, and live musical performances by famous bands/artists.

I am predicting that this won’t last long. The first episode will get low ratings and then NBC will cancel the show on her because no one likes loud mouth Rosie.

NBC must be delusional if they think America will watch this.

BREAKING NEWS: Neil E. Boyd wins “America’s Got Talent” this year…

Leave a comment

What an unexpecting surprise! Neil E. Boyd wins “America’s Got Talent” this year, yep, he wins the million dollars and gets to headline the Las Vegas show.

I was hoping either Nuttin’ But Strings or Queen Emily would win it, but Neil E. Boyd ended up getting the win.

Neil E. Boyd is talented though. I dig opera music myself sometimes.

Report: “Days of Our Lives” may still be airing during the summer Olympics…

Leave a comment

For the fans of “Days of Our Lives” soap opera, if you don’t want to miss any of the good upcoming storylines in the month of August, (especially the return of Stefano Dimera) not too worry!! While the full hour of the show may not be aired during the Olympics, starting on August 11th, “Days of Our Lives” will feature two short term storylines during the Olympic games. Meaning that NBC will air only two small parts of the show during the games. Some areas in the USA may not be able to see the show at all during the Olympics (lets hope NY state is not on that list).

One storyline they will air is the return of Stefano Dimera and the second storyline will probably focus on the character Nicole Walker. Other characters of the show will of course be involved like Steve, Kayla, Marlena, John, EJ, Sami, Lucas, and others.

More on it here:

Aaaahh, I see. This is a ploy to get more ratings of Days since Stefano is coming back and they want Olympic fans to be watching that character.

It’s good news that the show is still on, it is starting to get good again.

Report: NBC announce 2008/09 schedule…

Leave a comment

NBC announced the schedule for this year and next for old and new TV shows coming back. There’s a few new TV shows coming out such as “Merlin”, “The Office Spin-Off”, and “Knight Rider”. And of course, most of the poular shows like “30 Rock”, “E.R.”, “The Office”, “Deal Or No Deal”, etc. will all be coming back.

And most of all the show that I look forward to coming back is “Friday Night Lights” which is pretty much my favorite TV show, “FNL” is coming back in the Spring of 2009.

More on it here:

It’s great to see FNL back on there. Very sad to see “Bionic Woman” being gone though ’cause I really enjoyed that show.

Report: Jimmy Fallon is close to being the official host of NBC’s “Late Night”…

Leave a comment

Former Saturday Night Live star, Jimmy Fallon will soon be the official host for NBC’s “Late Night” replacing Conan O’ Brien when he leaves for Jay Leno very soon.

The Associated Press reports:

I am a fan of Jimmy Fallon, I like the dude, he’s funny, don’t get me wrong, but I have a feeling that “Late Night” on NBC ratings will drop. People are so used to seeing Conan being the host that they won’t care for the show anymore no matter who is hosting it.

It’s gonna be really weird seeing Jimmy Fallon making jokes with Max Weinberg the drummer and Conan O’ Brien making jokes with Kevin Eubanks the guitar player but this is something we’ll have to get used to for a long while. It’ll take Conan O’ Brien a while to get used to most definitely.

Don’t be surprised if Conan starts calling Kevin Eubanks by the name of Max by mistake because we all know that’s gonna happen. But I can’t wait for Jay Leno to leave.

Good fucking riddance to Jay. I never found Jay to be funny at all, his jokes are always too simple. Conan makes me laugh hard everytime I see him on TV, it’s gonna be awesome to see Conan earlier at night. Conan O’ Brien is the best late night talk show host, that man is hands down, a comic genius!

Report: NBC kills the daytime soap opera “Passions” for good…

8 Comments

Since NBC cancelled the short lived daytime soap opera “Passions” last year, NBC tried to bring it back to life to bring it back to the tube. Universal Media Studios tried to help the soap find a home. The “Passions” cast and crew were once told to keep the show alive on the internet only but failed at that too. NBC killed the show because simply, no one wants it.

“Passions” is a day time soap opera created by writer James E. Reilly, the series debuted in 1999.

Variety reports:

Well, I wonder why no one wants the show. It’s because the show is simply horrible.

Nobody cares for daytime soap operas anymore because all the ratings are so low on them. Rumours are circulating all over the internet that NBC could axe “Days of Our Lives” next year in 2009. The soaps are pretty much the lowest ratings on TV right now.

Honestly though, I don’t blame the low ratings on the bad writing and acting ’cause some of them can actually be real good. I blame the low ratings on these shows because they are shown during the day where people are at “work” or people who don’t work just do things during the day and not stay home watching TV.

If some of these shows were moved to Prime Time TV, I assure you the ratings would go up then.
