NBC wiping ‘The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien’ from the internet?
Apparently, NBC has yanked seven months worth of episodes of “The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien” from the internet.
Even though the Conan worked with NBC for 20 years, they have erased his “Tonight Show” existence from every possible place that they could.
A little odd, given that a couple of days ago, the network was offering every single “Tonight Show” episode O’Brien had taped on NBC.com. But then again, everything about this story has been odd. NBC declined to comment.
NBC–at least, I’m assuming it’s NBC–has also been aggressive about taking down Conan episodes from Google’s (GOOG) YouTube.
Slowly, they are even inching toward taking the image I’m using for this post. If it disappears, you’ll know why. According to Rachel Sklar, the network has even scrubbed Conan’s face out of their mural.
She tweeted, “They scrubbed Conan from the 30 Rock mural – he used to be in the top row of heads.”
So sad. The man has dedicated time, effort and love to NBC and they crap all over it. We’ll always have the Bugatti Veyron Mouse.
Disgusting work by NBC. NBC deserves everything it gets for the way it handled this disaster. Destroyed it's 10 pm drama slots, perhaps fatally marred Jay Leno's audience, lost and now purged O'Brien completely like he never existed. It's no wonder they're last among the networks. They make Toyota look good. Robin Williams had it right when he told us what NBC stood for.
