Front page article in the New York Times today on an earth shaking development. Conan O’Brien is refusing to move his show to 11:30 because of his deep and abiding respect for the institution of the Tonight Show. Once you’ve devoured the front page article, you can turn to the op-ed page and read an entire column by the ever shallow Maureen Dowd about: Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno and the NBC rating disaster.
Are we supposed to care? Apparently no one is even watching Jay Leno, but somehow NBC’s troubles with him and his late night replacement are front page news, crowding out all that dull, real news. And as for Mo, why should she write about those icky issues and stuff when she can give us rigorous analysis about just what’s wrong with a network nobody watches.
