Raw Talent

Just a quick post dedicated to all the raw talent out there in the world. As a somewhat internet surfing junkie I have come across my fair share of videos of amateur singers, musicians, actors, comedians, etc. Besides my thanks for hour hours of entertainment, I would like to say that these people who post these videos could be more talented than some of the "talent" in the industry. Part of me hopes they are discovered so they can share this talent with everyone, but isn't being undiscovered and raw part of their charm? If everyone knew about it...would it be as special? Probably, but not as charming. At least it wouldn't be to me. Anyway, before I go off on some long-winded tangent-- To all the amateurs out there doing what they love whether it be singing an awesome a capella version of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance or just playing their piano, I salute you. You are truly amazing.

Jay Leno Can Suck It

NBC is reporting that after low ratings of the Jay Leno Show, they will be moving the show to the later 11:35 time slot, making it a half hour, and pushing the rest of its late night programming back. Leaving Conan to start at 12:05am, and Jimmy Fallon at 1:05am. This has started a prgramming nightmare for NBC with the fate of both Leno's and O'Brien's show hanging in the air. Fox is even talking to Conan O'Brien about splitting from NBC and starting a show on their network. Once again NBC you have really screwed the pooch.

First of all, Why the hell are we still fighting over Leno? He quit! This is how Conan ended up with the Tonight Show job in the first place. Obviously his ratings suck at 10pm and now NBC wants to bump him to his old time slot? How about you do what you do to any other show that isn't doing well. AXE IT! The guy is fucking things up for everyone else. Sorry Jay, you had a good run, but give it up!

Second of all, Conan on Fox is absurd. Just as absurd as Conan in California is. How about this NBC? Bring Conan back to NY give him back his old show...bump that chode Jimmy Fallon off the air and Keep your precious Leno in California.

This also puts Carson Daly in jeopardy of losing his late night show..but really? Who the hell watches that anyway?

You did this to yourself NBC, Jay Leno is causing all sort of problems for every one of your late night shows, and I'm sorry, if you decide to axe Conan and keep Leno...not only are you going to be losing this viewer, but I am sure many of your late night viewers around my age...which is pretty much the demographic you need to keep yourself at the top of the ratings at night. Letterman, and Kimmel are laughing at you NBC. Knock the shit off, and get rid of Jay Leno.

Let me know what you think readers...do you think NBC should Keep Jay Leno and bump the rest of the late night schedule to accomodate him? Or is it finally time for the Leno era to end?
