LOS ANGELES - NBC, the Peacock Network, is trying very hard to get rid of its "NoBodyCares.web" slogan.
In it's latest attempt it has decided to take its three late night talk shows and play musical chairs.
Jay Leno, the king of the chins, will move from 10 p.m. to 11:35 p.m. Conan O'Brien, the Ronald McDonald lookalike will take over the 12:35 a.m. slot, and Jimmy Fallon (?) will be moved over to the 2:35 a.m. slot.
Fallon complained and said that the only people up at 2:35 a.m. are bartenders on their way home, 200 or so insomniacs, and burglars.
So he said that at that weird hour only about 200 people will be watching his show. An insider said that one of the NBC executives supposedly remarked that the number is about twice as large as the number of viewers who watch his show now.
Leno stated that he was happy because now he won't have to do those boring "Stay tuned for your local news" promos any more.
O'Brien said that he is not sure yet but he may just pack it all in and return to his beloved New York City because he misses the yelling and screaming that goes with the city.
Fallon said that he will now have to reset his alarm clock again and last time it took him about 30 minutes to figure it out. He said that it isn't that its hard to do, it's just that he bought it at a pawn shop and it did not come with the instructions.
In other TV news. Ellen DeGeneres is excited about replacing Paula Abdul on American Idol. She said that one thing for sure, Simon will no longer be reaching underneath the table and grabbing a handful of thigh like he did with Paula.
