Look, when the dust settles and the whole NBC late night debacle concludes, no one at NBC is going to win. Jeff Zucker is going to continue to look like an idiot, Jay Leno is going to continue to look like the guy whose inability to be remotely funny or entertaining ruined primetime and perhaps […]

Richard Webber has painted himself into a damn scary corner. What purpose does he serve? What role can he play? A teacher, maybe.… An administrator, certainly. But he’s a doctor no more.
