Really, it was a late night cat fight – Meee-owwww
Cats: Uncategorized|They say women fight like cats, but what about those late night talk show hosts.
By the end up that dust-up they were clawing each other’s eyes out.
Sharp barbs, low blows, personal insults.
I’m still picking the fur balls out of my computer, TV and eyeballs.
Meee-owwww, boyz.

I was glued to my computer the whole time that was going on. What a story. You’ve got the big bad guy, the plucky hero, his buddies on the sidelines, the smarmy guy who shouldn’t win, and millions of dollars at stake. Fascinating.

Actually, Jay began the meowing with his defining of NBC: never believe your contract. Once NBC announced it was canceling Jay Leno, Conan started reading the writing on the wall.
I don’t know, but people in Late Night need to talk about something other than the president and celebrity break ups. In this case, a network president breaking up with his celebrity hosts.
But I still feel bad for Conan. He didn’t take the Tonight Show to make $45 million dollars, he took it to do a good job and entertain people. He wasn’t given a chance to do thing one, and thing two he did masterfully before bowing out.
Maybe this was a fluff piece for you, or you were asked to opine about this but didn’t have much invested in it, but there’s a lot to why this story got so hot. I think this speaks to the American people in general, and the nature of business versus the nature of man. But yeah, it was pretty catty too.
