I like it too..but for some reason I don't think it's going over too well.

Vince, no. Some of his "Made" co-stars, yep.

Nah... just responded to your childish taunt. Notice that you did ask for it.

And as for those still interested in the Late Late Show sweepstakes: Rob Burnett told Variety that anybody, any race, any sex could get the job, and just because white men have dominated the Late Night game, doesn't mean it'll stay that way. Amy Sedaris was mentioned.

Sorry for hitting that nerve. Looking forward to more "when I met blah blah blah posts!" :thumb:

No nerve, just felt the need to expose your pettiness.

Anonimity seems to breed elitism... you're so much better than me when you can post random jabs... you're a really brave guy.

Your attack by the way, is baseless. I dare you to search and find more than 5 of my 1200 posts where I mention meeting anyone famous.

Here, I'll do it for you: Gretz (posted becuase somebody attacked his "class" and I happen to personally know different.) Paul Gross (Posted after he was mentioned as a musician and I happened to compliment him on his music) Ed Broadbent (Posted because of partisan swipes, and I happened to be working for the guy at the time) The boys and Billy Ray (Well... if I need to explain that one to you...) and (Although not by name, and because you were trying to be an online tough guy) good ol' Jon Favreau and the great Mr. Falk.

I'm sure you can remind me if there's any others. It's so nice to have fans.

Now, if you'd like, PM me and I'll give you the whole list, interesting anticdotes and all.

Game Over. Try again.

Looking forward to more of your... well, I can't remember a single memorable post you've ever authored... so good luck with that. Maybe you'll hijack with a more memorable personal jab next time.

Goodnight.

Geeze. I already apologized for hitting that nerve. What more do you want? A hug? Look, I found your penchant for name dropping rather humourous. That's it, that's all. I don't see why you feel like I've run over your puppy.

By the way, there's irony, then there's this:

So who's the elitist?

Come on, what do you think PMs are for? There's more tension between various individuals with every passing day. Take it out on each other, fine, we all need to sometimes...but do it in private, eh? There seems to be more liberties taken with petty squabbling than I have seen since I don't know when!

There we go! And as Homer once said to the television:

"Let's never fight again."

IMO Leno is a disingenuos hack who had to be low and coniving in order to get his job. He appeals to grandma and middle America in order to keep his ratings and isn't half the broadcaster Dave is.

While Letterman has become tamer in his later life, his irreverant tendencies and cut throat wit are still there, he's still not afraid to push it, or to do things simply because they make he and Gerry Mulligan laugh.

Dave all the way.

For all you Conan fans... seems COB could be gone from NBC sooner than later. From today's NY Newsday:

" At least one part of the story, though, appears irrefutable. Worldwide Pants,
Letterman's company, which produces "Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn," had
fully expected to re-sign Kilborn to a new contract, even though both remained
far apart on money. Kilborn had sought a big raise (though it's unclear how
big) and CBS, which pays the bills, balked. That's led to further speculation
that the network was happy to cut him loose, and a couple of TV insiderssay
that's true, too.



There was instant chatter that CBS wanted Kilborn out of the picture so that it couldmake a play for Conan O'Brien, whose NBC contract lapses late next year. But other TV sources vigorously dispute that, saying O'Brien didn't even remotely play a part in last week's mini- drama. Moreover, O'Brien has clearly stated an interest in an 11:30 p.m. show, which is why some industry observers have long figured ABC will launch a vigorous Conan campaign next year. The O'Brien-to-CBS chatter is combustible because it's predicated on an assumption that Letterman
would leave sooner than later - chatter that CBS and Pants call baseless.

It also would appear reasonable that Kilborn sought a succession clause from both Worldwide Pants and CBS, meaning that if Letterman were to retire, he would become the 11:30 host of "Late Show." While industry sources confirm that Kilborn would never have received such an assurance, it was a moot point, anyway, because "there was never any discussion of a 'succession clause' in Craig's deal," said Rob Burnett, president of Worldwide Pants. "There were no conversations about the 11:30 time slot because CBS is thrilled that they already have a host at 11:30 who's not going anywhere."

I don't like Amy Sedaris. I don't find her funny at all. I find her annoying and childish though.

CRAIGERS' LAST SHOW TONIGHT!

i for one have enjoyed CK over the years, and i will actually miss him, he is unreplacable IMHO, his style was so different from Letterman as was the feel of his show, and i always thought it made the perfect follow up. lots of great musical guests have rolled through his set, and none better than Dave Grohl, playing acoustic and hopping around on Craig's desk doing his Ozzy impression, truly television at its finest hour. GOODBYE CRAIGERS!


btw, he'll be polishing off a bottle of scotch on air tonight LOLZ!
