The peacock is really cleaning house this year!

NBC has already announced the cancellation of Whitney, Guys With Kids, Up All Night, 1600 Penn, and Deception in the past two days.

And now Go On, the sitcom we never saw but assume starred Matthew Perry as a grumpy but loveable wisecracker surrounded by a cast of adorable loonies, joins them.

So far, the only scripted comedy to officially survive is Parks & Recreation.

As for the fantastic but underwatched Community and The New Normal?

Guess we'll just have to wait and see…

Like Charlie Brown trying to kick a football, NBC just whiffed again!

In the past year, the flailing network needlessly torpedoed Ann Curry's career, completely bumbled the coverage of the Olympics, and even announced the premature death of astronaut rock legend Neil Young!

Replacing Jay Leno on The Tonight Show with the younger Jimmy Fallon is just about the only thing they did right!!

…Or did they?!

Mmm, we'd like to cover him in our ink!!

Adam Levine is more than just a pretty face and a sweet set of pipes; he's quickly becoming a behind-the-scenes TV mogul!!

The Maroon 5 frontman and his manager signed a one-year first-look development deal with NBC!! They plan to focus on scripted and alternative programming and develop projects to serve as new series and specials for the network.

Woot woot!!

Paul Telegdy, NBC's president of alternative and late night programming, admitted:

It hasn't exactly been an easy year to be Matt Lauer!

There haven't really been many positive headlines about the Today show anchor over the past few months, but in an interview with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show he says he doesn't let all of the bad publicity get to him!

Matt says:

Now that Jimmy Fallon is officially taking over Jay Leno’s coveted Tonight Show throne, we need to know — who’s taking over Jimmy’s Late Night seat?!

NBC has yet to make an official announcement, but it seems that SNL head writer and anchor Seth Meyers is the frontrunner for the late night hosting gig! Watch What Happens Live’s Andy Cohen and America’s Got Talent’s Nick Cannon are reportedly also being considered.

In addition to a new host, the show is expected to be reworked so as to lessen its competition with the Tonight Show. It might even switch to a smaller production!

The network is set to make an announcement mid-May, so we’ll just have to keep our eyes and ears open till then!
