Conan O’Brien Receives Primer
Conan O’Brien’s staff held an emergency meeting with the late night host following NBC’s decision to remove O’Brien from the 11:30 PM time slot. Apparently, they had never bothered to explain the term “ratings” to the Harvard grad or how networks and advertisers depended upon an ”audience.” Following the meeting, Conan’s staff issued a press release stating that had he been aware of what the network expected of him, he would have spent more time being funny and less time sucking his thumb.
