Conan and Leno

I, for one, am THRILLED at the recent crash of NBC's late night lineup. First of all, did Leno get greedy? What other reason would explain his willingness to leave the Tonight show, only to immediately, start his own show. Hmmmm....I guess NBC thought they could simply clone the audience of The Tonight Show for a 10pm slot and save themselves millions of dollars by putting up an inexpensive talk show for 5 weekly hours of primetime television. I haven't watched a single minute of the Jay Leno Show, not because I don't like him but because he's taking away the livelihood of numerous writers, actors, crew members and American capital. We want great television. We want intriguing stories. Let's face it, when film and television are basically our only major export, we want to CREATE! So tuck your tail NBC. America, so it seems, has spoken. We will not pander to what you tell us to watch! Instead, people have continued tuning into primetime drama's like 'The Good Wife' showing NBC that if they want a chance at the 10 pm hour they better show us the money.

James P Connolly is The Alien Warrior

Not that anyone might care, nor that those who care would even find this lowly blog, but I hereby declare that Comedian James P Connolly is also Comedian The Alien Warrior. I saw The Alien Warrior perform at the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club in Universal City Walk. (A lovely venue and the host was my buddy Joe D. A great guy!) Sometime later I heard that same, easily recognizable voice on the XM comedy channel. Sure enough, it was not listed as The Alien Warrior but, instead, as James P Connolly!

There you have it! Seems I was the first to notice it and bring it to the light of day. Although, I'd be pretty shocked if many on the comedy circuit aren't already very well aware of this fact.
