NuGGET of the WEEK...(4)

NBC boss Jeff Zucker, you nugget. You are the primary reason that Conan O'brien got ousted at your studio and now you are the reason that he has just signed a massive deal with TV cable rival, TBS. First of all, you were a nugget for letting Conan get away from NBC and then to top it all off, you let him sign with a rival. Yeah, real smart Jeff.

NBC would have been much better off continuing to pay a non-compete but once again you guys have dropped the ball. He has a huge fan base and one that as we have seen in the past will do anything for him (see teamcoco.com). NBC has already lost these fans for life and now they are being pushed to a network that has been on the rise. This could be just the thing to throw TBS over the edge and be considered a top competitor to basic TV.

I single you out though because you have been known for getting into a war of words with your "people". Why get into a battle of words with a late night TV host? That makes no sense. These guys will always have the last word. I mean NBC still gets joked on by its own son Jay Leno because even he knows you guys screwed Conan...hard. The only thing saving your career right now is that Leno's late night show has a minimal advantage over Letterman in the ratings. But nonetheless, this happened and now Conan is with TBS and I can only hope that he tops the ratings and makes you feel like the nugget you are.

Long live Team Coco. You have just been NUGGETIZED. Deal with it.
