I LOVE SHATNER. And as for whether or not this is really Levi, didn't Rush say it best, something about "well, we all know what he thinks, so..." #williamshatnerreadslevijohnsto...
I KNEW this was going to be on Jez today! The one about the kidnapping was just so bizarre I didn't know whether to laugh or not. #williamshatnerreadslevijohnsto...
@LuvEwan: I laughed. I can't deny it. In my defense, it was the way he said it. If I had read it instead, I'd be all WTF Levi? #williamshatnerreadslevijohnsto...
@Ultraprison!: Yeah, for me pretty much the best part was all the pseudo-philosophical shit at the beginning followed with "I wonder where I can score some good weed." That and the LMAO at the end. #williamshatnerreadslevijohnsto...
Shatner is the shit, but I still feel a little bad for James Lipton, who used to be Conan's go-to guy for skits like this. #williamshatnerreadslevijohnsto...
Well,, now "Offal Jimjam" is going to haunt my head like the opening strains of "Funky Town."
Standing in the elevator- "Offal Jimjam"
Pause in my roommates' conversation about True Blood- "Offal Jimjam"
Trying to come up with an anecdote to describe my day to my loved ones that doesn't contain the word tired- "Offal Jimjam"
I happen to like Jay Leno and I *gasp* have a sense of humor.
I don't get the condescending attitude on Jezebel. It's like we're all expected to have the same opinions/tastes/likes/dislikes. I wonder how many people actually like Leno or Gwyneth Paltrow or Ann Curry but are too overwhelmed by the haters to speak up.
I don't really think Leno is a bad person, but he's not funny. Conan at least tries some weird and even edgy stuff, like Tom Cruise and Fonzie dolls and the Tonight Show Tramtacular with Andy in a human-sized hamster ball. Conan has energy, while Letterman is enjoyably cranky and Craig Ferguson is nice and off-the-cuff. Jay tries so hard not to offend anyone he forgets to be funny.
I hope the numbers drop a lot. NBC is a terrible company run by terrible cheapskates. Jack Donaghy could do better than this. NBC was shitting their pants in fear of Jay leaving for another network, and while I think Conan will be fine, they done him dirty with this.
So how would his show, even if it was great, change primetime tv forever? (I'm actually wondering, not being sarcastic.) I hadn't realized his show was getting so much attention leading up to this.
I don't mind Jay Leno (though all I ever watched was headlines), but I am irritated that it's taking up time normally filled by scripted shows. I want Chuck now.
@Plate2.18: It is so much cheaper to make than a 1-hour drama. If the networks could pull that much ad revenue from a cheap variety show instead of making five different scripted dramas, they wouldn't do it anymore. Eventually most original programming would migrate to cable and the networks would go back to the old days when they had variety, and now also they'd have the reality and competition series.
Leno moving up an hour (I know they say it's not the same show, but gimme a break) won't affect my TV watching, except I can essentially write off NBC every night. That will clear some space on the DVR for Conan O'Brien, David Letterman, Graham Norton and Colin Ferguson - all of whom could talk-show-host circles around Leno and his lame jokes.

Also, based on the first one he read, it seems Levi found that good weed. #williamshatnerreadslevijohnsto...

I get the Bowie comparison, but I think Ricky looks & sounds like Steve Kilbey (The Church)Beautiful!
