I guess Harvey Levin is Team Leno?

You would think so, based on Levin's 'interpretation' of Conan O'Brien's letter on On Air with Ryan Seacrest. Levin took the letter as a brutal diss towards Jay Leno; many others, including myself, view the letter as surprisingly restrained and classy. And quite frankly, Leno isn't entitled to restraint or class.

Look... the dildo announced that he was retiring years ago; the network reacted to the announcement by offering the gig to Conan; Conan accepted; then Chino started dropping hints about not wanting to retire; then the braintrust at NBC decided to give him a prime time gig to 'appease' him... which tanked HUGE. Now the Peecock network is breaking their necks trying to keep the dude who was is responsible for this whole mess? Come on!!!!

I get that Conan didn't keep Jay's old viewers, which makes me think... fcuk the old coots!!! It's not like they will come back if Jay is reinstalled. People are fcuking fickle. Just look at what happened with GM and Chrysler. People were jumping around and screaming for Obama to 'save' two of the Big Three and what happened... the fcukers got mad that Obama 'saved' GM and Chrysler and bought Fords instead.

NBC hasn't had a sure hand since Tartikoff. Tartikoff got the Must See TV ball rolling and it continued to roll 10+ years after he passed away. Too bad he couldn't get his hands on NBC's daytime schedule; his golden touch may have kept Another World and Santa Barbara on the air. But back to the current state of affairs... this is all Leno's fault.

Personally, I hope that this initial backlash continues because this is completely unfair to Conan. People know whether they're the retiring kind; you have to wonder if Jay 'decided' to retire in order to elicit some sort of attention, as if winning the ratings weren't enough. Or... with the help of the Michael Jackson curse, Leno will be taken care of more severely.

Oh, yeah... I think that the curse is afoot. Leno was so smug about bringing MJ low; retribution is in order.
