David Letterman Offers Solution To NBC Late Night Puzzle
We love David Letterman. We love him even when he makes mistakes as we are all prone to do. Who is better able to supply a viable alternative to all the vitriol coming from this situation than a veteran of the late night host wars of twenty years ago?
We especially like that Dave Letterman has sanely, reasonably, generously offered a solution to the late night programming issues at the competing network NBC. Needless to say, but we’ll say it anyway, we like old Dave’s suggestion. Watch what he has to say around 3:30 into the 5 minute piece you’ll see Letterman deliver a great solution to the problem.
It’s the 21st Century answer to a boring tired, getting-to-be-lame format that everyone believes needs an injection of ” Truly NEW and IMPROVED”.
We believe David Letterman makes this suggestion because he believes, as a respectful broadcaster who honors the innovators of the past, and as a basically good guy, like Conan O’Brien, the Tonight Show franchise is the greatest in the history of the medium.
No offense to Jay Leno who has never worked in television prior to his appearances on variety shows and talk shows. Jay is a stand-up comic who is at his best on the road in club dates and theaters.
Jeff Zucker, whose background does not include any time before a camera or behind a microphone, isn’t listening to anyone. Zucker reportedly threatens to keep Conan O’Brien off the air for three and a half years because O’Brien will not go on the air with the Tonight Show at 12:05, which according to all clocks is no longer Tonight, but in fact tomorrow. Conan’s representatives counter Zucker/NBC could be looking at the wrong end of a law suit if any attempt is made to make that threat a reality. All this is according to reports we’ve received from Hollywood late this afternoon.
Stay tuned….this can only get better…..
