Speaking of the Fall TV Schedule
Dear NBC, DIE - Jay Leno - Deadspin
The money paragraph regarding the inane idea of trying to pretend like no one can possibly laugh before a station deems it "late night":
I've never done that, NBC. I've never known what it is like to laugh at that hour. I am not sure I'm biologically equipped to handle it. I'm so used to setting that hour aside to watch doctors fuck each other and then perform open-heart surgery at that hour. That hour is not meant for laughter. It is a dark, intense 60 minutes of each day. All I want to do at that hour is brood, and look over corpses for forensic traces of the Miniature Killer's calling card. Comedy? At 10PM? I DON'T KNOW IF I'M PREPARED FOR THE REVOLUTION.
I laughed out loud in the privacy of my own little basement office at the idea of there being "a dark, intense 60 minutes" of my day.
Well done, Deadspin writer.
