OH NO - Jay Leno's Ratings Last Night - 4.5/8
Sorry, Jay. The competition is only going to get tougher (just wait until you hit first-run episodes of those Thursday night dramas).I hate for you to fail. You're such a likable guy. But I LOVE that Ben Silverman is failing (failing upwards, I suppose, but still failing!).
It's a real conundrum.
Good luck tonight against CSI: NY on CBS and Eastwick on ABC. Okay, you might do fine against Eastwick - maybe even a 4.7/9 share! Whoopee!
It may be time to get OctoMom and Kate Gosselin in some sort of a wresting match - because only stunts like that can help you now.
[Note to Angela Bromstad and Paul Telegdy at NBC: You may want to contact Dick Wolf to get some more Law & Order iterations going. Also, call Peter Roth over at Warner Bros. to see how long it might take to rebuild the ER set.]

About Jill Kennedy
Jill Kennedy is an Ivy League MBA / refugee from Lehman Brothers.
Manka Bros. (and the Manka Business Channel) hired her (for a very low sum) to cover the world of media (not the world of Medea) in her own words without corporate inteference.
About Medea
Medea was a real bitch from classical mythology - as most famously dramatized by Euripides.
She was a sorceress and wife of Jason, whom she assisted in obtaining the Golden Fleece. When Jason deserted her, she chopped up their children. One could say, Medea acted as rationally as a major media company.
Tips, Scoops and Smoking Guns
Excellent post, Jill. It's sad that most of us in the industry are rooting so hard for Jay to fail. It simply cannot succeed.
Thanks.
I knew he would eventually go down in the ratings but I didn't think it would be so fast.
That's an improvement over MOnday night. With bigger shows on last night. So you never know. they don't need a big number to make a profit.
I read a story that said it only needs to make 1.5 rating to make $300 million for NBC.
