Damn!

Maybe you guys should have checked the books before you went ahead and fired Conan O'Brien!

In the fourth quarter, profits fell 30% at NBC Universal, due to disappointing DVD sales, dismal movie releases, securing rights to NFL programing, and "new programming investments," otherwise known as Jay Leno's one hour shit show.

Operating profit at Universal fell $200 million, while revenue declined by more than $400 million.

And end to shitastic year! Congrats NBC!

      Conan got paid $40 million to leave, right? why doesnt he donate every penny of that to Haiti? He doesnt need another penny. But, no, he will keep it and urge us poor to donate.

      Get your facts straight - Conan was never fired from NBC. He actively chose to leave after they changed the late night lineup.

      They should've told Leno "see you later" not Conan! NBC just pushes one new show after another and doesn't stand behind any of them! I rarely watch new shows anymore because I am tired of them getting yanked due to poor ratings…GIVE SHIT A CHANCE!

      Really do you people really think your precious CoCo was that good? Please the guy had shitty ratings in N.Y. and he had shitty ratings in L.A. I think the proof is in the pudding and i guess you all need someone to blame.

      some companies make it impossible for their employees to keep working there, as a result of that they quit. No one's ever been through that? if they fire you they have to pay unemployment and a bunch of other crap. Besides if he would have gotten fired he would have gotten twice that, NBC made him sign a contract not the other way around!!!
