A dramatic bill of the politics and personalities behind NBC's calamitous try to reinvent late-night tv. When NBC decided to move Jay Leno into leading time to make room for Conan O'Brien to sponsor the Tonight show - employment he previously been promised five years before - skeptics predicted a train wreck for the age range. It had taken, in fact, only a few weeks for the dire predictions to come true. Leno's show, panned by critics, dragged down the evaluations - and the profits - of NBC's affiliate marketers, while evaluations for Conan's new Tonight show plummeted to the cheapest levels in history. Conan's collapse, meanwhile, opened an urgent door of chance of rival David Letterman. What implemented was a boisterous, irritated, frequently hilarious open public battle that got an incredible number of astonished visitors glued to their models. In The War for Late Night, New York Times reporter Monthly bill Carter offers a detailed behind-the-scenes bill of the situations of the memorable 2009/2010 late-night season as most of its players- performers, suppliers, real estate agents, and network executives-maneuvered to find footing amid the moving tectonic plates of tv culture.
