No shame in that! Plug away! Films need love and understanding. If they don't get it, they come back at night when we're sleeping.

I would be interested to know if there is a behind the scenes to that film? I think the conversations and such that went on would be incredibly fascinating. Any of that footage available?

Or if not, the written recollections of what went on, with all those famous B folk working on a film after they had been forgotten, sadly, by most of America would make a mighty fine book that I would buy.

Indeed. Larry Buchanan. A wonderfully awful film that graces my shelf.

You bet. I love Love!

That's correct. It was a contract renewal insult. Carson left (retired) under similar circumstances, believe it or not.

Yeah, I prefer Jay to Conan, too, not because of his jokes, because they're not funny, but just because I just like him and hope he stays on TV.

Jimmy Fallon is an embarrassment to both himself and the show. I like the guy, and I realize he's trying very hard to not let anyone down, but he doesn't have what it takes. Not by a long shot.

His delivery reminds me of an out-of-breath kid talking to grownups about what he just learned in school. The SNL phrase, not-ready-for-prime time aptly applies to Jimmy like no one else.

Yes, Leno was forced out. Also, many don't know why Carson left when he did, it was along similar lines. Let's just say network executives are not the smartest when it comes to realizing they have a good thing going.

I see they beat me to it. Ain't no sharper crowd than right here at BH.

Yup Ed Shaughnessy, the one and only. Also Don Sweeny banged the drums not so slowly, using a very special kit as a replacement to his own:

"...he has the conflicted emotions of a technogeek who loves the Gear but distrusts their uses."

Well said. You called it.

Very interesting, indeed. I have to agree with Conan here. Time slot does matter. They shouldn't move the show.

Oh, how I would love to hear Ed once again say "Here's Johnny".
