Conan O’Cryin

January 13, 2010

NBC and their affiliates have been struggling with ratings since they experimented with a prime time talk show starring Jay Leno.  Not only have ratings for that show been poor, it has not served as a good lead-in to local 11pm news broadcasts.  That in turn may be one of the reasons that The Tonight Show, hosted by Conan O’Brien, has seen a decline in viewership over previous years.  On January 11, 2010, it was announced that Leno’s show has been canceled.  It was proposed that Leno host a 30 minute show after the late news and the Tonight Show begin at 12:05am.  In a public posting, O’Brien, stated that this is not an acceptable solution because it “will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting.”


Late night shows are what made Conan a star
But lately his ratings are not up to par
In his statement he cries
I won’t be part of the demise
We’re sorry to tell you Conan – you already are!
