CBS Lines up Paris Hilton, Craig Ferguson Against Jimmy Fallon - TVWeek - News
I totally fell for Craig's show during the Election.. his commentary was spot on and sometimes (ok most times) better than any of the 'real news' commentators. I dvred and have saved his monologue from one of the early night's of the Bailout ("BerNANKE? More like BerCRANKY".. I don't know why, it just made me bust out laughing).....
But I don't know, this doesn't reek for me as much as many of these types of promotions do.. I’m thinking of some of the NBC Chuck interstitials that were just embarrassingly bad.
and I think now Paris is sort of a kitsch figure. Between all the entitlement, the crying jag in the prison cell and the anti McCain ad she did after they used her to say Obama was too much of a rock star, I dunno.. I think she’s (probably unfortunately) elevated herself to a figure we’re not soon to be rid of.
Still, I'll probably be tuning into Jimmy Fallon that first even though the couple things I've seen of him online have been terrible.. but then in the week after Letterman left Late Night, they ran a week of his early shows in order to remind everyone that he initially wasn't as great as he got to be. And frankly, it took me years to warm up to Conan (I still prefer Craig but I can enjoy Conan now whereas he used to grate).
And for cryin out loud, at least they're promoting Craig's show so I don't care if they pair him with a baboon (ok patayto patahto)
