So, I just discovered the show 'Six Feet Under'

plaidlemur:

Yeah, really.

It’s awesome, but why did a sportscaster and a serial killer get together to run a funeral home!? That doesn’t make sense!

(I loved the show ‘Sports Night’ with that one guy. Brilliant writing.)

I was just going on and on about ‘Sports Night’ the other day and NOT ONE person in my office knew what i was talking about… Shame - Awesome show.

Conan’s Heartfelt Final Words On Last Show For NBC And For His Fans (FULL TEXT)
Conan O’Brien’s final “Tonight Show” aired tonight, and while most of it was funny, the show ended with heartfelt words from the long-time NBC host.
“Before we end this rodeo, a few things need to be said. There has been a lot of speculation in the press about what I legally can and can’t say about NBC. To set the record straight, tonight I am allowed to say anything I want. And what I want to say is this: between my time at Saturday Night Live, The Late Night Show, and my brief run here on The Tonight Show, I have worked with NBC for over twenty years. Yes, we have our differences right now and yes, we’re going to go our separate ways. But this company has been my home for most of my adult life. I am enormously proud of the work we have done together, and I want to thank NBC for making it all possible.
Walking away from The Tonight Show is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Making this choice has been enormously difficult. This is the best job in the world, I absolutely love doing it, and I have the best staff and crew in the history of the medium. But despite this sense of loss, I really feel this should be a happy moment. Every comedian dreams of hosting The Tonight Show and, for seven months, I got to. I did it my way, with people I love, and I do not regret a second. I’ve had more good fortune than anyone I know and if our next gig is doing a show in a 7-11 parking lot, we’ll find a way to make it fun.
And finally, I have to say something to our fans. The massive outpouring of support and passion from so many people has been overwhelming. The rallies, the signs, all the goofy, outrageous creativity on the internet, and the fact that people have traveled long distances and camped out all night in the pouring rain to be in our audience, made a sad situation joyous and inspirational.
To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”

Urban Dictionary: "Leno Giver"

plaidlemur:

ianbrooks:

When someone retires from a legendary television franchise, passes the torch to a worthy successor. Then he gets bored and starts a new show which sucks and then asks for their old job back by firing the successor.

He’s a leno giver

http://www.urbandictionary.com/

Let’s put this in the common lexicon as a replacement for the culturally insensitive (and hilariously backwards) ‘indian giver’.

You had me at ditto.
