Conan the Contrarian
2008-04-10 00:34:00
Conan O'Brien does a great riff on casting for (I hope) a fictional movie about the "Today" show's newest hire - Kathie Lee Gifford. It's like separated at birth. Diane Sawyer and Courtney Love. Matt Lauer and Sinead O'Connor. But wait, there's more! I'm not a big fan of Conan but this is hilarious. Well done, Conan, writers, producers, and editors.

But I find him alive and well as purveyor of the Teen Kid News.com. 100 aspiring junior journos showed up at NYC's Bloomingdales yesterday to audition for the sole opening. NYDN It's helpful to have famous parents. Al's put his rich cronies' kids on the air. Meredith Viera's and Revlon psychobillionaire Ron Perelman's progeny are already getting TKN face time. Back to Primo. He tested the Internet waters in 2000 with war correspondent Peter Arnett. Primo was hoping to amass a global network of TV stations pimping foreign news. Primo was the news director of KYW TV in Philadelphia when he divined Eyewitness News in 1965. Primo took the concept to WABC NYC in 1968. Eyewitness news spread like the movie "The Blob". In 1977 Primo went into the news consulting biz in tony Old Greenwich, Connecticut and now makes a few bucks as a "motivational" ...

I'm Your Vehicle, Baby!

Hillary Clinton's snowing Iowa voters by digging them out with snow shovels and dispatching 5,000 chauffeured cars. Her Imperial Heinous is having a hard time digging herself out of this one. Responding to Obama's taunts that her first lady tenure was a "tea party", Hillary claimed SHE was the one Bill dispatched to "dangerous" places, citing a "harrowing" plane landing in Bosnia. Newsday And a dash across the tarmac to thwart "snipers." Trouble is, the serial prevaricator and mistress of hyperbole and omissions was traveling with: comedian Sinbad, Sheryl Crow, and daughter Chelsea. God bless Meredith Viera for having the balls to call Hillary on this crock of political BS. Meredith Viera: "But when you mention something like Bosnia people have responded, yeah, but she went to Bosnia, for example, with Sinbad."Hillary Clinton [Trying to act like this is not the most embarrassing thing that's happened to her since Monica]: "That's right, mmmm-mm."Meredith Viera [Making frustrated...

Lay Off Randy
2007-10-31 15:37:00
NY media bigwigs cackled big time at AOL CEO Randy Falco's expense. Bob Costas had the best zinger: "Randy has three wonderful children," Costas said. "He used to have five, but he had to lay two off." NY Daily News Falco was an NBC suit before he went AOL. (Wife Susan, Miz Meredith, and "Chainsaw Al's" evil twin)AOL grunts in VA hate Randy.Falco is reportedly amused by the media likening him to "Neutron Jack" Welch, former head of NBC's parent company GE. Jack got his rocks off blowing out employees while leaving the buildings intact. But no one compares to "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap's two-year reign of terror at Sunbeam.

The Vast Wasteland
2007-09-28 17:40:00
Marshall McLuhan and former FCC head Newton Minow had it right. Tee Vee may be a vast wasteland but now it pays to wallow in the mire. Forbes reports small screen stars from Oprah to Letterman raked in more than $700 million from June 2006 to June 2007. Oprah's salary alone was a third of the take at an astounding $260 million. Jerry Seinfeld's next at $60 mil. Letterman $40 million. Leno $32 million. CBS wastes $15 mil on ratings Titanic Katie Couric. Matt Lauer gets $13 million from NBC. Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters earn somewhere in the neighborhood of $12 million a year each from ABC. And Meredith Vieira gets $10 million from NBC.
