There are signs that the tonight show is not getting the ratings that NBC expected.  The show started with Michelle Obama showing up and even participating in skits.  Obviously the folks at NBC live in a dream world of their own creation where Michelle Obama is the most worshiped woman in the history of the world.  In the real world, not so much.  I am sure at least some people were disgusted by the Obama worship segments.  I, for one, am boycotting the Tonight show for exactly that reason.  My guess is that I am not alone.  (Of course in my opinion, there has been no good late night show since Johnny Carson signed off.)

Now NBC is trying to intimidate Hollywood celebrities by threatening to ban them from the Tonight show if they dare appear on CBS or ABC.

I doubt that this will work.  Celebrities don’t like to be told what to do by anyone.  They only like lecturing everyone else.  This TMZ article raves about how the Tonight show draws more than twice the viewership of Jimmy Kummel Live.  They omit the part where Jimmy Kummel Live has increased viewership by about 23% since Fallon took over and the Tonight show ratings are definitely starting to slip.

It looks like NBC just can’t help itself.  MSNBC   stands for Mind-numbingly Stupid Nonsense Broadcast Constantly.   I am not offended by the bias on MSNBC; I have come to expect that from the main stream media.  I am just appalled by the stupidity.  There is a video clip of Rachel Maddow trying to blame the Ukraine crisis on George W. Bush invading Iraq.  That is utter nonsense.

Perhaps Jimmy Fallon will wake up and smell the roses.  He is a talented guy and he can be very funny.  But if he continues trying to be the media outreach for the Democratic Party I think we just may see Fallon on hard times.
