Screw NBC

June 1, 2009 was a day I will remember for the rest of my life. On this day, Conan O'Brien assumed the throne of NBC's Tonight Show. I remember setting aside the time in my schedule to watch the episode LIVE, gasping as Conan walked onto his gorgeous set. I remember excitedly planning a trip to L.A. with Jason and Chris to see this witty, charismatic, hilarious, admirable man host a legendary show.

Conan is--and forever will be--a legend among men.

And this Friday, NBC is throwing it all away.

Turning back the clock to a man whose jokes could never match up, whose power of improvisation was severely lacking, whose interview style made it impossible NOT to change the channel mid-sentence.

Never will I forgive you, NBC.

You will pay for your mistakes. This isn't a threat on my part, though I vow to stop giving NBC any of my time or attention. You will see your ratings drop. You seem to think that Leno will give you back the ratings that you weren't seeing from Conan (due to your lack of support and advertising for his talent). But all you're doing is throwing away an audience that thanked you over and again during every single episode of Coco.

We're leaving. And we're never coming back.
