Conan O'Brien Vs NBC (Top Story)

11/27/2010
.
Conan O'Brien Vs NBC was a top story in January. Here it is again as we recap 2010: Conan O'Brien has issued a statement about the chaos over at NBC over plans to shuffle their late night lineup after their Leno in primetime experiment failed miserably (keeping in character with the rest of the NoBody Cares network's lineup). Here is what he had to say: People of Earth:

In the last few days, I've been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I've been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I've been absurdly lucky. That said, I've been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.

Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both. - more on this story
