"NBC is going to throw me and Jay in a pit with sharpened sticks. The one who crawls out gets to leave NBC. That is an appealing proposition."
-- Conan O'Brien, who, no surprise here, has reportedly stated that there's no way in hell he'll go along with NBC's proposed plan to move Jay Leno back to 11:35pm and him to 12:05am, and who is already being openly courted by Fox
On another amusing note, I can't stress enough how much Salon's Heather Havrilesky has become to me what Tom Friedman is for Matt Taibbi: an unhealthy obsession whose stuff I can't not read because it's just that awful. Skim through the following piece on the Leno/Conan/NBC miasma and see if you can navigate Havrilesky's aneurysm-inducing gauntlet of mixed metaphors -- none of which makes the least bit of sense -- confusing illustrative figures of speech, tedious flights-of-fancy digression and at least one inexplicable movie reference.
God love you, Heather. I think you've figured out a way to physically waterboard the English language.
