I have been following Connan O'Brien ever since his resigning to a 17 year career with NBC. A surprise to all O'brien decided to sign a five year contract with TBS.
Starting in November O'Brien will air Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m.
This change will bump current talk show host George Lopez and his show "Lopez tonight" to midnight. Lopez actually called and help persuade O'Brien to come onboard with TBS, Lopez said O'brien will be a great "lead into" the "Lopez Tonight" show.

He's a terrorist
Cokie Roberts called Glenn Beck a terrorist. While Roberts was writing a column about Beck she mentioned "he's worse than a clown, and more like a terrorist," Roberts wrote.
She also writes that Beck is a traitor to American values, and she focuses on Beck "corrupting the essence of democracy."
Sometimes I'm forced to watch Glenn Beck daily. My boss at work is a fan of some sort, and he watches the show religiously.
I find Beck ranting about crap he thinks matters, but all he does is yell about this or that subject, with his blackboard full of crap that doesn't make sense, most of the time.
I mean even Glenn Beck fans are shocked to see other hardcore Beck watchers. The other day while I was a work a gentalman came in with his wife and was shocked to see the Glenn Beck show on the television. He even asked if it was a mistake, than becoming sucked into the show, his wife simply says, "Sorry, he's just surprised he thought he was the only one who watched the Glenn Beck show." While saying this her face turns sour as if she hates the sound of Beck's voice as much as I do.

How Rude!
Obama accuses Bret Baier of interrupting him during an interview.
Baier a Fox News reporter was doing an interview on Obama about the health care reform. Obama and Baier were caught going at it during the actual interview.
I didn't get to watch it but I did read the dialog to the interview and it is actually kind of interesting to see that they way that the interview went. You could see how the injunctions by Baier could have been annoying to Obama as he was trying to go on about the interview about health care reform.
During the interview Obama even tells Baier that he is interrupting and needs to let Obama finish his answer to Baier's question so he could be clear to what he is trying to say.
In the end Baier does apologize to Obama for all the interruptions during the interview but he said he just wanted to "get the most for our buck."

Making their comeback
Just last week I posted about Hulu.com discontinuing the availability of both “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report”.
I just ran across an article talking about the possibility of both shows coming back to Hulu.com. The CEO of Viacom would consider having the shows back on Hulu.com if they made a change the business model of the site.
What exactly that means I don’t know, the article itself didn’t give much details about it.
The best thing I would think for Hulu.com to do is to do it. “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” are the top rated shows on Hulu.com so I wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to bring both shows back to the website.

Hulu says goodbye to...
Hulu will no longer offer full episodes of both The Daily Show and Colbert Report. Though Viacom's (the owners of Comedy Central) run with Hulu has been great success for both shows their agreement term has ended.
Both shows are usually rated highly on the most watched on the Hulu website. Viacom did mention that they do hope to work with Hulu again in the future.
Hulu might be saying goodbye to both shows, but full episodes will still be offered on Comedy Central's website.

Little Genius who?
Six days before the premiere of the Fox show “Our Little Genius” the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stopped it from airing.
The FCC received a letter December 22, 2009 from a family whose child was to appear in the show. The letter included comments saying that the child received answers by a program’s production staff member.
Four days before the child was to go on for taping, the parents, child and staff member had a review of topics that could be potentially asked. During this review the letter stated that the staff member had given the child answers to at least four questions the child either did not know or was not sure about.
The child’s appearance on the show was canceled because his or her parents asked questions about some of the planned questions.
This show is under investigation because of section 508 of the Communications Act of 1934. This section “makes it illegal for anyone to give, with the intent to deceive the viewing or listening public, assistance that will affect the outcome.”
It honestly makes me loss hope for these contestant game shows. It is hard to believe that nothing now-a-days is rigged for a specific person to win or gain a leg up on someone else. What happened to honest winning fun? Now it is all about ratings and publicity.

Mistaken Identity
Who thought that the American-Canadian actor Michael J. Fox was also a well known marathon hero!!!
During a taping of the Today Show, the anchor lady mistaken the identity of the Canadian marathon runner Terry Fox with the known actor Michael J. Fox.
Terry Fox is known for raising millions of dollars for cancer research. He is also deceased and even had a prosthetic leg.
Unfortunately during the video taping they don't show if the anchor lady even corrected herself after making the shocking mistake.
I always thought news anchors and reports knew a little something about what they were about to report on, before actually reporting on it. I wonder if she didn't do her homework learning the facts, or just got a little nerves and forgot. And why didn't anyone correct her is what I want to know. Come on people!!!
