LENO AM FAIL, FEDERMAN AM CRY

For the first week since Jay Leno’s Tonight Show  return, he was tied by David Letterman’s Late Show, as both shows averaged a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating for the week of June 7-11. Coming off a week of repeats for both shows, Leno fell a tenth of a point and Letterman gained two tenths.

That put Leno’s Tonight Show two tenths of a ratings point below Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show ratings trend, comparing the ratings for each show’s fifteenth sequential week.

I'm sure young Leno-co will try and spin this but...

In plain English, that means that no matter how you measure it, Jay Leno is performing worse as the host of “The Tonight Show” than Conan O’Brien did. And Leno doesn’t even have the disadvantage of having Leno as a lead-in. Although I wouldn’t put that idea past NBC.

It's just an anomaly. Leno's ratings are down because he attracts well-off, middle aged folks and they're on vacation. Only dirty poors watch Letterman, no advertisers care about that demographic!

This blatant, desperate denial is the best possible birthday present you could have given me.

...ok, that's not true.  Johnny Walker Blue or a hooker would be better.  But top 3 is good for sure!

I haven't seen spin that good since the last time I had a fist full of Hannukah Gelt.

I'd rather believe the more likely story: that NBC is full of fucking distinguished mentally-challenged people and they pissed away their late night lead.

So, who do they have left, Jimmy Fallon?

Too bad Conan will be getting significantly lower ratings next year, compared even to these.
