Eff You, NBC & Jay Leno

Does anyone else feel like they’ve been transported back in time? To 1992, to be precise. A time when Gameboys were cool and gas was only $1.05/gallon. A time when Leno and NBC clawed Letterman out of his deserved Tonight Show spot, against successor Johnny Carson’s wishes? I wasn’t old enough to understand but don’t worry – there’s a whole made-for-TV movie on it, “The Late Shift.”

Even if, at the time, I didn’t know what was going on, I came to develop a passion (shared with me by my grandmother and father) for late night. I’ve seen dozens of episodes of Johnny Carson, while my peers barely know his name, and hundreds upon hundreds of episodes of Letterman. They were beloved figures in my household. As I grew up, I became partial to Conan during high school. I would stay up past my bedtime with my sister, skimming right over Leno to catch me some Conan O’Brien.

As time went on, the natural progression of things began to unfold. Leno’s time was coming to a close and he turned the coveted 11:35 spot over to Conan. However, instead of bowing out gracefully, NBC decided to cut their high-budget dramas at 10:00 and replace it with “The Leno Show.” Um, okay…?

And now, after only giving Conan a few months in this new time slot and after altering the nighttime lineup, they’re making an executive decision to move “The Jay Leno Show” to 11:35 and bump “The Tonight Show” to 12:05.

And this is pissing a lot of people off. Namely, ME.

David Letterman, Burninator Extraordinaire

This is too good not to bring to the world’s attention.

A-Number One King of the Douchenuggets Spencer Pratt appeared on the Late Show on Friday night where he was subjected to five minutes of relentless belittling at the hands of David Letterman. In his usual smile-for-the-camera brotastic manner, Pratt attempted to defend himself against Letterman’s not-so-veiled allegations that he is, in fact, an epic waste of human flesh, but, well…a spade’s a spade, right?

Click here to watch the interview – there’s a special treat at the end! And by special I mean meh. And by treat I mean fake jugs. And by end I mean Heidi Montag. Woo hoo?
