Jay Leno and Sarah Palin
Love him or hate him, there is a reason Jay Leno has been #1 and will soon be #1 again in the late night wars. He will book anyone necessary to get ratings - as evidenced by the top guest on his second night back - Ms. Sarah Palin.
Add to the mix Shaun White, Lindsey Vonn, Apolo Ohno, Brad Paisley, the cast of Jersey Shore and I think it's game over for Dave as soon as Jay returns. The Letterman vs. Leno battle will last all but one week.
It's even possible that by week two most people will have forgotten there ever was a 'Tonight Show controversy' which will mean less and less "I'm with Coco" fanatics inviting you to join Facebook clubs.So what have we learned from this whole debacle? As long as there are publicists and stars who need publicity, the past is meaningless. Hollywood is a "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately" town.
And what will Jay do for these media hungry
And ratings are all that matters.

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 interference.
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
I'm sure he'll get ratings. But that's disgusting. What does Sarah Palin have to promote? It's sickening!
It's a coup for NBC but do they really need to go slumming like that. What's wrong with Shaun White and Lindsey Vonn. Do they need Sarah Palin? What, am I stoopid?
The audience loved Gov. Palin. She was great! The left is so worried about the conservative trend in this country. They don't even comprehend that when they attack Sarah, it is like spitting toward heaven. It does no harm to heaven but it falls back onto the one spitting! Get the picture?
Do they allow positive comments here? I saw Gov. Palin on Leno last night and she was great. The audience loved her too. Libs need to learn to show respect for others who are not just like them!
