Someone please reassure me that this rumor is untrue....

There's a GREAT article on FMU's Beware of the Blog about some Late Night controversies of the past:

This was pretty spot-on... but I'm only halfway through it myself...

I think this power grab by Leno (and the smoothness with which he will return to the throne) marks the first significant step of the Bad Guys winning since Obama's inauguration.

The next nail, and each one henceforth, shall eventually lead us to a situation where Sarah Palin is president, all illegal immigrants are jailed or deported, and recent gay rights and medical marijuana laws will be repealed.

On the other hand, perhaps this is merely the end of NBC?

One can only hope.

Get ready for tomorrow.

For something to happen on the Best Show or for NBC to go off the air?

More Bad Guys winning.

That article's description of the "Jerry Lewis Show" debacle was crazier than any of S & W's "Shout Network" scenarios. Whenever I think  S&W are getting a little too absurd, something comes along from "real life" to prove me wrong.

Kliph Nesterhoff is a treasure.

Mark, if you were in Helsinki, Massachusetts you would know exactly what I was talking about.

So did everyone see that finale? Was that not the best ending of any talk show in history?

I am mostly concerned about Oliver Pardo.

It was too bad Jimmy didn't get on the show, though I did see him applauding in the audience a few times.

Now every time I hear "Surrender" it's going to make me sad.
