Gambling on Casino Stocks: Feelin' Lucky?
By Daniel Ferry - July 20, 2012 | Tickers: LVS, MPEL, MGM, WYNN
Over the past three months, shares of the four largest publicly-traded casino companies have all plunged between a quarter and a third, while the broader market's gains and losses came out to a wash. After such a cold streak, is it time for gaming stocks to heat up? No card counting or lucky charms required to see that incumbent casino operators are looking like good bets. The most established more »
Surprise Winners of the Natural Gas Boom
By Daniel Ferry - July 20, 2012 | Tickers: GLOG, GLNG, RDS-B, TGP, WPRT |
The rise of hydraulic fracturing has unlocked vast new reserves of natural gas, and despite environmental concerns, American natural gas is set to become an increasingly important source of energy. A lot of excitement surrounds innovative companies like Westport Innovations (NASDAQ: WPRT) using natural gas to power vehicles as well as boring old electricity utilities building natural gas-powered plants. Such investments in demand capacity, however, will take years to reach more »
Reports of Bricks-and-Mortar's Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
By Daniel Ferry - July 13, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, COST, HD, LOW, WFM |
This week, shares of appliance and electronics retailer hhgregg tumbled after the company announced that, under heavy pressure from Internet retailers like Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), it was cutting profit outlook. The company's plunge brought Best Buy down with it, triggering a renewed round of speculation about the imminent demise of bricks-and-mortar retailers. It's time to step back and remember this is not the first time we've more »
Digging for Pay Dirt in European Markets: France Telecom
By Daniel Ferry - July 13, 2012 | Tickers: T, ORAN, TEF, VZ, VOD |
Last weekend, customers of the largest telecommunications provider in France endured a nine-hour blackout of phone and Internet service. Customers were furious, and the company will have to pay compensation, estimated to cost "several dozen million euros."
Yet shares of the firm barely budged. Why? Perhaps because the company, after being battered by the recession and the ongoing financial turmoil in Europe, simply doesn't have much further to fall more »
Digging for Pay Dirt in European Markets: Veolia Environnement
By Daniel Ferry - July 11, 2012 | Tickers: AWK, WTR, RSG, VE, WM |
For the past few years, Europe has been embroiled in a financial crisis that never seems to end, always teetering on the brink of collapse without quite falling over. The reluctance of politicians to move decisively to settle the issue in one way or another has introduced so much uncertainty that capital has fled Europe in droves.
While this is certainly a reasonable response when faced with the potential collapse more »
Netflix Breaks Streaming Record—So What?
By Daniel Ferry - July 10, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CMCSA, NFLX, TWX
"Congrats to Ted Sarandos, and his amazing content licensing team. Netflix monthly viewing exceeded 1 billion hours for the first time ever in June."
So wrote Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings last week in a Facebook post, sending Netflix shares up over 20% since the announcement. This is a big jump from the last time Netflix has released these numbers, with the company streaming only two billion hours in more »
Barclays' Admission of Moral Bankruptcy is Just the Beginning
By Daniel Ferry - July 5, 2012 | Tickers: BAC, BCS, C, HBC, JPM |
"Duuuude," begins a note that will go on to exhort committing fraud on a global scale, "what's up with ur guys 34.5 3m fix... tell him to get it up!" The writer was attempting to get the recipient to knowingly falsify a three month interest rate upwards, so that the writer could profit. The note emerged in an investigation of Barclays PLC (NYSE: BCS) for attempting to manipulate more »
Why Investors Should Demand Employee Satisfaction
By Daniel Ferry - July 5, 2012 | Tickers: COST, GOOG, QCOM, SBUX, WFM |
What do Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFM), Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), Costco (NASDAQ: COST), and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) have in common? They were the five highest ranked publicly-traded companies in Fortune's 2007 Best Companies to Work For ranking with over 5,000 employees. All of them still rank amongst the best companies to work for in 2012, and four out of five have outperformed the market since then more »
Will Murdoch Pillage Fox?
By Daniel Ferry - July 5, 2012 | Tickers: NYT, TWX, NWSA
Rupert Murdoch formally announced last week that his News Corp (NASDAQ: NWS) will split into two companies. One will take over News Corp's entertainment assets, including Fox's broadcast network, cable television channels like FX and Fox News, and film studio Twentieth Century Fox. The other new company will manage News Corp's vast global portfolio of newspapers, notably including The Wall Street Journal and New York Post, as more »
Enterprise Software Firms Rush to Plant a Stake in the Cloud
By Daniel Ferry - July 3, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, MSFT, N, ORCL, CRM |
Enterprise software is typically a staid field. Customers in this industry tend to be sticky: businesses often stay with their incumbent provider due to the high switching costs of retraining staff and IT departments for a new system. This has been especially true while business software required physical installation on local machines.
However, as storage and processing increasingly takes to the cloud, companies are rethinking their software needs. Cloud computing more »
Breaking Up the Banks — Can Investors and Occupiers Agree?
By Daniel Ferry - July 2, 2012 | Tickers: BAC, C, GS, JPM, NES.DL |
"Break up the banks" might sound like a rallying cry for Occupy Wall Street. But increasingly, restructuring the largest banks and spinning off their different business lines looks like an attractive strategy for investors.
There have been a lot of reasons advanced for dismantling the nation's largest banks: their concentration of market share resembles an anti-competitive oligopoly, their centrality to the financial system makes the entire economy more vulnerable more »
Defense Contractors Stare Down Fiscal Cliff
By Daniel Ferry - July 2, 2012 | Tickers: GD, LMT, NOC, RTN, BA |
Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), America's largest defense contractor, announced on Thursday that unless something is done soon to prevent automatic budget cuts to defense, it may be forced to issue tens of thousands of layoff notifications—mere days before the presidential election. The cuts will begin to take effect in January. Lockheed claims that, due to a law requiring companies to give 60 days notice for layoffs, it is more »
The Battle for the Living Room
By Daniel Ferry - June 29, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, CBS, NFLX, TWX, DIS |
If Netflix is losing the battle for the living room, then Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) is winning. The company gets bashed often and eagerly by early adopters for failing to adapt to a changing television environment. Time Warner is seen as particularly stodgy compared to innovators entering the space: Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), Hulu, and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). I believe, however, that Time Warner recognizes these threats, and has taken steps more »
Tech Patent Wars Becoming Downright Bizarre
By Daniel Ferry - June 27, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, FB, GOOG, ORCL, YHOO
Last week, Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) asked for damages from Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) over infringements of their intellectual property to the tune of. . . $0. (Personally, I think they could have pushed for $0,000,000, but keener minds than mine are at work here.) Oracle's suit was based on patents and copyrights they had obtained with the acquisition of Sun Microsystems and the Java suite in 2010, and their rapid more »
J.C. Penney is not Apple -- the Power and Peril of a Brand
By Daniel Ferry - June 21, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, COST, JCP, TGT, WMT |
News this week that J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) president Mike Francis is resigning "effective immediately" will leave new CEO Ron Johnson in control of J.C. Penney's marketing and merchandising. Last year Johnson came to J.C. Penney to execute a turnaround, after developing the successful Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) retail stores. With previous experience bringing exclusive designer lines to Target (NYSE: TGT), he seemed a natural fit.

Panama Canal Expansion will Change the Landscape for Freight
By Daniel Ferry - June 20, 2012 | Tickers: CNI, CSX, EXPD, NSC, UNP |
A century after opening, the Panama Canal is due to inaugurate a third set of locks in 2014. This added capacity will not just increase the throughput of the canal, it will also accommodate significantly larger vessels. Today, the Panama Canal is one of the most notorious bottlenecks in global trade, with a particular class of ship, the Panamax, designed specifically to be the largest vessel that can still fit more »
Could Microsoft's Tablet be as Successful as the Zune?
By Daniel Ferry - June 19, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, ARMH, INTC, MSFT |
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) announced ambitious plans on Monday to produce a tablet computer, competing for the fast-growing segment alongside the likes of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad and Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) Kindle Fire. The Microsoft Surface comes with a keyboard built into its cover, a magnesium case, and two available versions -- a basic Surface running WindowsRT with processors from ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH) and a Surface Pro model running more »
Buffett is Too Optimistic on Housing
By Daniel Ferry - June 19, 2012 | Tickers: BAC, BRK-B, FIG, WFC |
Warren Buffett doubled down on residential real estate this week, announcing on Monday that his Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) was bidding to acquire the bankrupt mortgage originator Residential Capital LLC (ResCap), including its loan portfolio, for $3.85 billion. Buffett appears to be willing to pay up for the assets, as Berkshire's entry into the process is likely to start a bidding war with ResCap's favored buyer Nationstar more »
Bad Government Policy is Choking Pandora
By Daniel Ferry - June 18, 2012 | Tickers: P, SIRI
Last week, the nation's largest radio network, Clear Channel, struck a deal with Big Machine Label Group to pay its artists, including Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw, for playing their songs on its stations. This brings into stark relief a government policy that hugely disadvantages young disruptors in the radio space like Pandora (NYSE: P), Spotify, and Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI). While it made headlines that a terrestrial more »
Railroads Prepare for the Threat of Natural Gas
By Daniel Ferry - June 17, 2012 | Tickers: BRK-B, CNI, CSX, NSC, UNP
North American's freight railroads have delivered impressive performances since deregulation in the 1980s, growing into one of the largest and most efficient freight transportation systems in the world. Significant revenue drivers for railroads over the past few years have been large coal shipments to power plants, as well as a competitive advantage over trucking due to better fuel efficiency.
Over the next decade, a secular trend in favor of more »

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — For all the attention wrenched elsewhere in recent days — on new violence in the Middle East, the ''fiscal cliff'' back home — President Obama's speedy trip to Southeast Asia achieved a major goal: It was clearly seen in the region as a validation of Asia's strategic importance as the United State refocuses its foreign policy to counter China's clout.
It was not easy. Even in a Buddhist monastery in Thailand, Obama could not escape the budget woes waiting for him back home. And his historic visit to Myanmar was all but drowned out by the rocket fire and missile strikes between Israel and Gaza. He went half a world away to promote US-style democracy but could not leave his troubles behind.

Then there are trophy islands that amount to white elephants.
Michael Caffey understands the downside of owing a coastal island in California. The TV producer inherited a 1.3-acre parcel called White Rock Island off Santa Catalina Island and has been trying to sell it for years.
Listed at $657,000, the land is virtually impossible to develop "unless you are the governor," Caffey said. "The problem is the Coastal Commission."
Miami-based entrepreneur Christian Jagodzinski bought his Fiji atoll when he was flush with funds from the sale of his online business to Amazon in the late '90s.
"At the time you have a lot of money, you look at what kinds of toys to buy," said Jagodzinski, who splits his time between Florida and the south of France. Houses and property seemed to be purchases he could both enjoy and make money on.
"When I looked at Fiji, I thought the resort offerings there were sub-par," he said. So he bought sprawling Katafanga Island in Fiji's Lau group intent on operating a top-notch, exclusive resort.
But his initial partnership floundered. Once the development money was gone, construction stalled. He has since listed the 225-acre isle at $20 million in the hope of recouping his investment.
In an effort to reach West Coast buyers and tap into Hollywood A-list and billionaire buyers, he hired Trista Rullan, a listing agent with Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills. Owners of Fiji islands include actor Mel Gibson and Fiji Water founder David Gilmour.
Among the most striking features of Katafanga Island are its natural resources including a bioluminescent lagoon, Rullan said. "It literally glows in the dark. You can see fish swimming."
White sand beaches ring the pristine island, which has an infrastructure for 20 villas. A break in the surrounding natural reef can allow yachts as long as 200 feet to enter the protected waters.
Jagodzinski's chief investment officer, Bram Portnoy, recently returned from a visit to Katafanga, where he stayed in a 1,500-square-foot, two-bedroom villa with an infinity pool and 1,000-square-foot terrace.
There is no commercial fishing in the area, but seafood is abundant. Jagodzinski's guests can snorkel and feast on the island's coconut crabs and locally caught lobster, barracuda and eel.
"You are in the middle of nowhere in a good sense," Portnoy said. The island is a 75-minute flight by twin-engine plane from Fiji's Nadi International Airport.
Jagodzinski appreciates the remote location. "That's the main reason to live on an island," he said. "You have this feeling of isolation that you rarely get in this culture anymore."
Ultimately, though, island ownership isn't for most people.
Beyond the cash needed, hurdles may include getting building permits and environmental issues. Areas where there are concerns about political stability are a harder resale.
"At end of the day," Krolow said, "there are only a handful of properties and buyers that can be aligned."

Awesome writing, as usual. You guys are in trouble tho, if writing standards suddenly went low there'll be a damn lot of flaming. Plate wearing shaman. I want to be one :(
One thing I've never figured out tho is, even tho Durotan and Draka never drank the blood of demons, and thus are still brown-skinned, why is Thrall green?
I think it has to do with their environment, atleast in the real world creatures tend to turn colors with their environment, Durotar was brown because he was originally born in Nagrand/Draenor, while common orcs may be green being born on Azeroth, personally, it doesn't make sense to me either but that is my theory
Thrall's parents suspected that their skin was changing colors due to the shunning of shamans among the orcs on Daenor. Even before Gul'dan opened the portal to Azeroth and before the orcs attacked Shatt they saw their skin changing colors. So it was more due to the coming of the warlocks and following Kil'jaedan than drinking the blood.

Inconsistent sizing
Chris Yates
Member since
These pants are great and I wish they fit me better but I had to return them. I ordered the same size that I always were in pants and they just did not fit right. I have found that Carhartts fit very differently even if they are the exact same size.
They're Carahartts...'nuf said
James Sanders
Member since
You want good tough pants that don't cost so much you're afraid to wear 'em these are it. Ask any person who works in a tough environment you can't go wrong.
nice pants
Member since
Bought these for my Husband. Durable pants, and run true to size.
A quality pair of pants
Don West
Member since
Comfortable, light weight, durable. Great pants.
Do Carhartt pants tend to run true to size?...
Member since
Do Carhartt pants tend to run true to size? My waist measures 31" and can't decide whether or not I should go with a 31x30 or 32x30. Thanks.
david day
Member since
My experience with Carhartt pants has been that they are true to size. Denim will give a bit more than most of the other different fabrics that Carhartt uses...which doesn't give hardly at all.
31x30 should do you fine.
Hope this was helpful :D
Member since
David, I think I'm going to take your advice. Thanks a lot for your input.
Nice "Work" pants
Matt Hansen
Member since
I bought a pair of these and love them. Fits like the classic Carhardt work pants you've come to expect with just a little more "Docker" feel (without the Docker brand).
Great pants
JC Grau
Member since
Great pants, good color and shape. I order 1 size above mine and fits perfect. I will be buying more pants in the future.
Great work/casual pant
Bryan Boe
Member since
Great pants for work/hiking/fishing. Very comfortable and durable...not to mention the lifetime warranty!
Member since
I'm not sure were you got the lifetime warranty. They only warranty for 60 days.
great pants
Captain Skyler
Member since
i can usually get away wearing a 34 size pant, but these i had to go one up and get the 36...a bit of a hit to my ego, but the fit is great, the fabric is comfortable. great work or casual pants. wear them hiking, working, or drinking!
Love these pants
Rob Plowgian
Member since
This is the second pair I've purchased. The pants fit exactly as I expected a 34X30 to fit. They are durable and extremely comfortable.
Comfortable & Durable
R & J Schoonveld
Member since
Very comfortable pants, but also very durable. Pants were true to size. These are great for work but also casual wear as well.
2nd Pair
Tommy Chandler
Member since
This is my second pair of these after wearing out the first. Not as burly as the super heavy duty Carhartt's but still love 'em. Just grovelled around in the dirt at Joe's Valley yesterday and they were great. Great desert climbing/bouldering pant.
Keeps Going
Member since
I bought a pair of these (not from backcountry.com, sorry!) pants over a year ago. I have worn them to class, hiking, camping, working in the cold, everything. They can withstand being worn for a week or two without needing a wash, gross but true. The areas of high use (around pockets, knees, etc) is fading in color but the actual material is still in great condition. The canvas is comfortable and durable to the point that you can most likely own a pair of these for years.
Highly recommended.
Good Pants, soft/durable and "Russell" proof
Member since
I have a VERY active son who has not managed to break through these jeans yet. They fit him well, which is hard since he is very thin. We liked your service getting them to us too. All around, we are very pleased!! thanks
Awesome Pants
Rob Plowgian
Member since
These pants are a true 34 X 30. Love to receive pants that fit!!! These are comfortable, durable and all around great pants.
solid gold
Member since
Great pants. Very comfortable, warm for cold weather and breathable for warm weather (upper 70's). Fit a little big. Look great and move well.
Almost Pass
Member since
If you're a jeans guy that has to pass for a Dockers dude occasionally, these almost do it. I travel a lot and wear them on the plane so I look just that little bit dressier than jeans when I get where I'm going. As others have said, they won't last like the double-knee classics, but they are very comfortable to wear (I'm a medium-size big guy 6'2" 220) and fit me well.
I'm planning to buy more and replace the blue jeans for all my traveling.
good pants, but seem to fit differently
Brian B.
Member since
I like these pants, but not as much as my other pairs of carhartts (which are more or less the only pants I wear). They seem to fit a little tighter through the hips until it hits about mid thigh. This may be due to the jean-style pocket cut, rather than the traditional carhartt slash pocket we know and love. They're a pretty good pair of nicer looking pants, not as many rivets as the other styles, so you can dress them up a bit more. In short, a good, well-made pair of pants, just a funky fit.
desert climbing
Tommy Chandler
Member since
This is a good lighter weight pair of Carhartts that I bought for climbing among other things. They work good for whatever kind of climbing, but are great for the desert. Maybe the double knee'd version would be more durable, but they are also heavier and not as flexible as these. They also look good as just a casual around town pair of dungarees, as well as a work/painter pant of course.
john gilchrist
Member since
Don't like Carhartts all rough and ridged that never seem to break in? These are great! Softer denim lets these pants feel comfortable right off the get go. Fit nicely but could use gusseted crotch. These do wear out a little faster than the more rugged Carharrts like the washed duck work dungarees.
View all contributions... Be patient, it might take a while.

Ran out of time is pretty accurate. You see this sort of thing in EVERY game, if you dig through the files. Sounds, models, scripts, sometimes entire areas that got cut. Why? Because quite frankly, if you continually try to add every cool idea you come up with, you'll keep pushing the game further and further back. There's a certain point where you have to lockdown what you have at the time and say "This is what we're shipping with, this is what we're going to finish, this is the game we're going to polish and perfect from here on out," and more often than not you're going to have to cut a few things to get there.
If you don't, then you wind up with something like Duke Nukem Forever, where the game continually is redesigned and has new stuff added to it (Of course, the reasons for DNF's delays and endless revamps are more complex than that, but it's the same basic thing).

Contemporary arts and crafts among the Eastern Cherokee include basketry, wood carving, stone carving, beadwork, and pottery. The history of these traditions can be traced to pre-European times, and these crafts have been passed on from generation to generation. Today, several hundred Cherokees derive all or part of their income from craftwork. The Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual has done much to promote and market the work of local craftsman. It is one of the most successful Indian owned and operated craft cooperatives in the country. The strength of a proud heritage combined with the demand for Cherokee crafts nationwide will insure that the ancient traditions will be continued for many generations among the Cherokee people.
The Museum of the Cherokee Indian houses a vast collection of archaeological and ethnographic materials, primarily dealing with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Today, approximately seven thousand Cherokee are living in western North Carolina. The museum is designed to maintain the native culture and language of the local community, as well as to provide an information center and learning experience for the general public.
Archeologicalmost of the museum collections consist of archaeological materials from the original Cherokee territory. The collections are donated to the museum, and in some cases they are on loan. The museum does not purchase artifacts from any source.
The museum's innovative displays and audio-visual exhibits that provide a unique opportunity to relive Cherokee history and share the experiences of Cherokee culture. Cherokee oral traditions is the subjects of the first displays in the museum. Sacred Cherokee myths which survive today have been handed down from one generation to the next. The visitor learns about the importance of the Sun in Cherokee life and how, according to tradition, it was set a seven handbreadths above the earth at the beginning of time. The ancient sacred stories of the forming of the earth, the origin of the mountains and valleys, the first fire, the origin of the Milky Way and the plants and animals come alive with the aid of modern technology.
Outreach Servicethe museum has an outreach service that lectures to school groups and other organizations upon request. This program is limited only to a one hundred-mile radius.
Special Events
Annual Cherokee Heritage Art Showthis art show features work by various artists, including many Cherokee artists, and all work is for sale. It is displayed in the museum galleries. Prizes are awarded in six categories and the show is on display from October 1 through October 31.
Research Facilities
Archivesthe archives includes fourteen hundred published volumes and collections of manuscripts, photographs, and microfilms. The archives is open to interested persons by appointment only.
The annual museum membership fee of fifteen dollars entitles members to free admission to the museum and to research privileges upon request. Members also receive one free issue of the Journal of Cherokee Studies.
Journal of Cherokee Studies
The journal is published annually and contains scholarly articles pertaining exclusively to the Cherokee Indian.
The first Cherokee Museum was founded in 1948 as a means of educating the public. A group of tribal leaders acquired an old log building at the intersection of U.S. Highway 41 and 19. Local Indian and non-Indian residents donated the first artifacts and relics. Through the years, interest in the museum continued, promoted principally by Mr. Carol White and the Board of Trustees of the Cherokee Historical Association. The establishment of the museum was prompted by a growing awareness that the general public knew very little about Cherokee culture. Conditioned by the distortions of the mediaespecially "westerns" as well as the "chiefs" that were beginning to appear in front of craftshops in the villagethe visiting public tended to perceive the Cherokee in terms of war bonnets, tomahawks, and wigwams.
As the tribal leaders watched the burgeoning tourist-oriented business on the Reservation, they became determined that some means must be established by which the public would be able to develop and awareness of, and appreciation for, the history, culture, and traditions of the Cherokee Indians. The museum became that means. From its modest beginnings in 1948, the Board of Directors established a priority goal: to depict the history, culture, and tradition of the Cherokee Indians with integrity and authenticity. In 1952, the Cherokee Historical Association was established and immediately acknowledged the development of the museum to be its primary objective. The museum acquired a Cherokee curator and lecturer, Mise Owle. For the next sixteen years, he lectured the public on the little-known aspects of Cherokee culture: herbal medicine, Sequoyah and the Cherokee alphabet, and authentic cultural aspects such as clothing, food, farming, and recreation. The museum received non-profit, tax-exempt status in 1970. In 1975 a new facility was constructed.
On August 17, 1992, the ground was broken to begin an expansion project which will improve the services provided. The museum areas which will be enlarged are the giftshop, art gallery, framing department, and area for general storage of artifacts. A new traveling exhibit/conference room will be added. Also, there are plans to include an outdoor pre-contact homestead exhibit which will have live demonstrations when weather permits. The tentative completion date is set for June 1993.

Conan To NBC: 'What
Does Jay Have On You??'
I am – Hercules!!
TV By The Numbers yesterday posted another of its stories about how many fewer all-important adults aged 18-49 "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" is still attracting compared to "The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien."
Comcast, the incoming new parent of NBC Universal, has kicked CEO Jeff Zucker to the curb, and O'Brien launches his new TBS late-night chat show a week from Monday.
Next Thursday, Viking publishes "The War For Late Night," Bill Carter's new book about the Conan-Jay "Tonight Show" debacle.
Carter is the same guy who wrote 1995's "The Late Shift," about Leno's war with David Letterman over "The Tonight Show."
I could write paragraphs about why Leno so doggedly cleaves to "Tonight." I'm convinced too much of Leno's id is wired into the franchise; I believe he would host the show for free if NBC insisted. I think Leno's obsession with it has much to do with how insanely important Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" became to the incomes of stand-up comedians in the 1970s, when cable barely existed and the other networks couldn't be bothered to air original programming after midnight.
Anyway, Vanity Fair just posted some lengthy excerpts from Carter's new book. They're an interesting read, and suggests Leno now hosts "Tonight" simply because he hired better lawyers than O'Brien did.
Apparently both David Letterman and Jay Leno long had contract stipulations insisting nothing got between their shows and the late local news. An excerpt from the excerpt:
"You guys got that for Conan, too, I'm sure," [former Letterman producer Robert Morton] said.
He waited while watching [O'Brien's agent] Rick and [O'Brien's producer] Jeff exchange a little look.
"You didn't?" Morty asked, holding back his next thought, which was: You've got to be kidding me.
Another excerpt suggests Leno got an "unprecedented" contract that guaranteed primetime's "The Jay Leno Show" could not be yanked from the air. With Leno's ratings ridiculously low and affiliates threatening to end their affiliations, Carter illustrates NBC was really in a spot.
And then this, from the sudden January meeting in which top NBC execs Jeff Gaspin and Marc Graboff told O'Brien they wanted to move him to 12:05 a.m.:
"What does Jay have on you?" Conan asked, his voice still low, his tone still even. "What does this guy have on you people? What the hell is it about Jay?"
Neither of the NBC executives had an answer and cast their heads down. Conan thought they were working at looking sympathetic, following some lesson that had been taught at corporate school.
Another great excerpt, following Conan telling this joke: "I just want to say to the kids out there watching: you can do anything you want in life. Yeah, yeah—unless Jay Leno wants to do it, too.":
Gaspin got a call from Jay about the joke. This one did not strike Jay as funny. He asked Gaspin, Why the fuck am I giving up a half-hour for this guy?
And Gaspin asked himself: How could these guys work back-to-back if Conan hates Jay? There was no longer any question about resolving this in a fashion that might keep Conan at NBC, as far as Gaspin was concerned. It had come down to how the matter would be settled, and Conan would go on his way.
There's a lot more. Find all of Vanity Fair's excerpts here.

The problem NBC has is that Leno is dropping...
by Chewtoy
and is at or below Conan's levels, only there's no chance that his show will grow the audience any more. When Leno started at the tonight show, his performance echoed Conan's... he started big because of novelty, then slowly dropped and bottomed out, but then began to grow again as audiences slowly came around to check him out again after he settled into the job. NBC bounced Conan out before he had the chance to grow his audience after he was settled in.
 But Leno doesn't have any room for growth. There's no large segment out there that might give him a chance, having made up their minds whether they like him or not over the many years they had to decide. He's hemorraged viewers as a result of all of this, and he has little chance of winning them back. Plus, by letting Conan go, NBC has further fractured late night audiences by giving them a new show to choose. The biggest problem, however, is that there is no heir left for the Tonight Show. They're stuck with the sinking rock that is Leno now, for years.

Oct. 29, 2010, 4:31 p.m. CST
This is Better
by TheRevenge
This is best for everyone. Conan will do better with his own eponymous show than trying to take over someone else's gig. His humor is best-suited for something he can call his own.

 Meanwhile, Leno is best suited for "The Tonight Show". He's been there for so long and the regular "TS" viewers want him there. Yeah, everyone likes to play the "18-49" card or whatever, but the fact remains that he's the #1 late-night host on TV. He's still beating Letterman in ALL Demographics, so I don't know why everyone keeps trying to pretend Conan was more popular than he was. His own audience didn't follow him there and I don't for a second by the bullshit "Lead-In" myth. It's not 1975 anymore. People change channels and don't leave the TV on all night. Oh, wait, some people do. You know who? People who aren't 18 to 49. The same people who love Leno.

 So Leno keeps his show, Conan keeps his show, and everyone is happy. Why piss on Leno? If people wanted Conan on The Tonight Show so badly, they should have tuned in to watch him. But that's just it: His own audience didn't and Leno's people were never going to be Conan's people just because they shared the time slot.

 I believe that Leno has better lawyers. But, on top of that, Conan had worse advisers. See, the biggest mistake NBC made wasn't putting Conan at 11:30. It wasn't letting Conan go. It was pushing Leno out when he was #1 and not ready to retire. They banked on the wrong guy.

 I love Conan's humor, although I find late-night talk shows are getting stale. It's kind of a tired format at this point. How many are there? 23? They used to be funny and about getting some real humor and scoop and gossip from celebs. Now they're just gush-fests (Letterman included) while spoiled narcissists pitch their over-hyped project. It used to be that late-night was the only place to get interviews and info on new movies/tv/etc. Now it all just seems a bit tired. Here's hoping Conan's new show can bring something new and fresh to a format that isn't.

Just Stop
by TheRevenge
Please just stop with the "Leno had a chance to grow while Conan didn't" myth. It's tiresome and completely ignorant of how the TV world works in 2010.

 First of all, Leno's ratings were lower when he started...but The Tonight Show was still making money. When Conan's ratings were low, he didn't just lose viewers, he was losing MONEY. That sucks, but it's true. For the first time in 50 years, The Tonight Show was reporting a loss. TV networks don't "owe" anyone time to "Grow" simply because some die-hard fans want it. If they feel they're losing too much cash, they'll act quickly. Ever notice that "Firefly" isn't on TV anymore? What just happened to "Caprica"? Hey, how's "Viva Laughlin" doing these days?

 Mostly, though, the reason you can't make the "Leno had time to grow, not Conan" argument is that it ignores the fact that this is 2010, not 1994. You can't compare apples to oranges and you certainly can't compare a year when late-night was still king and cable barely had programming to right now, where more people watch the internet than most shows on at 11:30pm. You think Conan was owed the same parameters as 16 years earlier? Why? Why should NBC lose money because of people's naive (and completely wrong) view of how TV ratings and returns work? Do you think ANY network would do that these days?

 When Leno took over The Tonight Show, he was merely the permanent guest host. Of a show that wasn't even on every single night due to Carson's schedule at that point. Some people didn't even watch it when Carson wasn't on. It took time for Leno to build his audience and make the show his...which was, again, in the early 90s...when late-night TV could afford to do so. When Conan took over, why did he need to "build" anything? What's this bullshit about people needing to "discover" his show? He was a household name! He had his own TV show for almost 2 decades with HIS NAME attached to it all the way. He wasn't a "GUEST" anything. He was/is a TV star! He had primetime specials, bestselling DVDs, and a huge following. What was there to BUILD on? NBC (and this is just known in the biz) was expecting the audience to BE THERE, not to BUILD. And...they weren't. And they didn't. He LOST viewers...and this is BEFORE Leno took that earlier time slot. It's not that Conan didn't BUILD on his time slot or that people didn't DISCOVER him; they left or simply stayed away. Is Conan hilarious? Yes. Did he deserve better? Yes. Was it all Leno's fault? Hardly. Most of it was Conan's own audience not watching and Leno's audience turning away. Who are all the people who think that Leno's audience was just going to suddenly LOVE Conan? What...? They had to "discover" a guy who had been on after Leno for 16 years? He was anonymous until then?

 And if you blame Leno for Conan's bad ratings, then you must also praise Leno for Conan's success. See, Leno has ALWAYS been Conan's ratings. To say that Conan's numbers sucked because of Leno ignores the fact that Conan's "Late Night" show ALSO followed Leno. So, which is it? Was Leno hurting Conan..? Or was Conan always getting viewers because of Leno? That's why the "Lead In" myth is just that. People find the host they want and watch him. Lead-Ins don't mean shit in 2010.

 Like Leno or not, he's built a large, loyal following on that show. Forget what you think is "Funny", because that's subjective. Networks are a business that are supposed to make money, and no one makes money by randomly asking dudes on the internet to tell them what's funny. They have to look at the numbers, and Leno's remain at #1. Forget 18 to 49, because NBC has. If Conan had been #1 in overall viewers in his timeslot (instead of #3 and sometimes #4), then this never would have happened. Does it suck? Yes. But before you go flying off the handle and tossing out insults at me (as is par the course on here), that's just how the math works. That's TV.

 I know people at NBC who were talking about this when it happened. No one liked it, but it was a clusterfuck that begin 6 years ago, not back in February.

The Revenge you ignorant slut
by Centauri
The issue you are glossing over is what forced NBC's hand...and here's a hint, it wasn't Conan's ratings. It was the epic fail that was Jay Leno at 10. NBC as a network was facing permanent irrelavence if that dog's breakfast had been allowed to continue. They had to make a change, and Jay, being the douchebag he is, wouldn't just take his cash and walk off into the sunset. So he bent Conan over, and jammed it in.

by seasider
he was hardly the innocent victim in all this. He started the fiasco with attempt at a powerplay back in 2004 demanding NBC promise him the The Tonight Show or he'll leave.

Herc, please -- GIVE IT A REST ALREADY
by Big Dumb Ape
No offense, Herc, but your long running hatred for anything Leno, where you use your AICN column to tear at him consistently, has REALLY become tiresome and boring. I thought it would be impossible for you to ever top your perpetual Whedon worshipping, but at least that was your Jedi good side trying to prop up a person versus your constant anti-Leno articles which betray your Sith side.
Seriously, go get laid. Turn off the computer and get out of the house for awhile. Go have some FUN. But as for this Leno/O'Brien stuff just GIVE IT A REST. As I said, it's become groan-inducing at this point.
Better yet, I can't wait for O'Brien's show to premiere. I imagine given all the press and controversy surrounding the Leno-O'Brien fight, it will probably debut to "okay" or good ratings...and then I honestly expect it to slide down and down. At which point, I honestly have to wonder -- given Herc's bias -- will we be seeing Coaxial headlines that declare "CONAN SINKS TO A NEW RATINGS LOW!" or something like that, which Herc is always so eager to declare about other shows? Me thinks the answer is no.

"when Jay discussed with his staff all the actions and reactions of that chaotic month, the one thing none of them really understood was that whole dream-destroying theme that Conan had expressed so eloquently. When Jay was a kid he'd dreamed of hosting The Tonight Show, too. But when he was an adult it became his employment." when its just a job for you, then maybe you should move on, work is work, but at the level that there at, you can afford to go find your dream

Conan is about to start his new show... I promise you the Leno/Conan thing is going to be news for the next few weeks regardless of anyone's bias.
 and as for the Tonight Show losing money under Conan... If you add the contract pay-offs NBC made to keep Leno, first on his Primetime show, then to pay-off Conan to leave, the current Leno run with his lowest ratings has to be the most expensive loss of money in late night television.
Wow, I figured this book was coming, but I'm pleased to see it so soon. Should be great.

No Ignorant Slut Here
by TheRevenge
Yes, Leno's 10pm show did fail. It had 5 millions viewers, which is what he had at 11:30pm. GREAT numbers for 11:30pm, but shitty for 10pm. It was supposed to be a Variety Show (which they promised) and wound up being "The Tonight Show" at 10pm. It blew. Nothing changed. It was stupid to think that a late-night host on a 10pm talk show was going to double viewers...NBC should have known that from the start. Stupid idea.

 Conan, on the other hand, was averaging 3 million viewers at 11:30pm. Great for 12:30am, not for 11:30pm. He was placing 3rd and sometimes 4th. You can talk demographics all you want (Hell, Herc sure does), but #3 doesn't look good when you've been #1 for 50 years.

 I like Conan. I think he's funny. I didn't care for his "Tonight Show" and, since then, I don't watch ANY late-night shows except, on occasion, Ferguson. BUT...

 I just don't get why you Conan cheerleaders can't get past it? Why can't you just accept that his show failed? YES, Leno's show failed at 10pm. But that does not, in any way, negate the fact that Conan ALSO failed. It was just bad decisions all around. Conan being watered-down made his own fans leave and Leno's fans simply didn't like Conan and went elsewhere. They watched Leno at 10pm and then, likely, watched Letterman.

 So you love Conan. Great. But just because you love him doesn't mean his numbers were there and that he deserved to keep his show. There are no shows that get that kind of support anymore on the major networks. TV simply doesn't work that way anymore. I agree that it sucks...but that's just how it works. Everyone wants to blame someone for Conan's shitty numbers except Conan himself and his own fans. Maybe the guy just isn't as popular as he needed to be for THAT SHOW. Everyone acts like he was some cult figure that only the hipster kids knew about and, if given the chance to be discovered, he would have become the biggest thing in late-night. But Conan didn't come out of nowhere. He was a household name when he took "TTS". There weren't people who hadn't "found" his show. They were deliberately staying away. That's not because of Leno. People find and choose the host they want. Period. More people chose (and choose) Leno. Maybe that will change when Conan hits TBS. We'll see. Believe it or not, I'm rooting for Conan. Just because I've accepted reality doesn't mean I don't love the guy.

 If Conan was raking in 5 million viewers at 11:30pm, Leno would have been sent packing when his 10pm show failed. So, Leno had a better contract, sure. If Conan was #1 in his timeslot, Leno would NOT have been moved back into the 11:30pm slot. If Conan had better numbers, Leno and his shitty 10pm show would have simply been canceled, contract or no contract. Yeah, Leno might have gotten a huge severance, but they wouldn't have pushed Conan out. Conan wasn't offered the "push back" to 12am because they wanted to fawn all over Leno. They felt that Leno would keep his numbers (5 million) and maybe help the fledgling Conan get some more, too. This, of course, is bullshit because the "Lead-In" myth is phony. But that was their intention. After all, Leno was ALWAYS Conan's "Lead-In".

 Let's not forget that Conan chose to walk. He was not fired. He wasn't even told he'd lose "The Tonight Show". He wanted to preserve it's legacy and timeslot. His choice. He was offered a compromise.

 I don't watch Leno. The show is too dull and old for me. But that's just it; everyone is pretending The Tonight Show was some show for 18-49 year-olds...and it never was. It's always been your parents' late-night talk show. And Leno is their guy. You can shit on old people all you want, but they're watching, and they've made Leno the #1 host in late-night TV...again.

 Conan belongs somewhere else with his own show, not trying to change his act for someone else's legacy. It's TV RATINGS 101.

 It's as if you guys think admitting that Conan simply didn't pull it off will be like saying Leno is better. He's not...but he's a better FIT for THAT program.

 Frankly, I don't know why every comedian gushes over The Tonight Show anyway. I'd much rather have my own show with my own name than take over some other guy's gig and always have to live up to what he did with it first. No thanks.

And turn around the next day and watch it. However, I have not watched Leno since all this down and never will again. I never found him that funny to begin with, and I saw him as overrated yet harmless (much in the same way the Dallas Cowboys are always overrated yet harmless). However, I now believe everything Howard Stern has been saying all these years. Leno is a douchebag whose desire to be loved by America will cause him to do just about anything to have a primetime or late night show. I don't think there's ever been a case in the history of entertainment where my opinion of someone did a 180 so quickly. I wish the Conan/Leno war could have gone on forever. Conan was at his best with those jokes. But I'm looking forward to seeing him on TBS.

The REAL reason Jay got his job back...
by TopHat
...The Tea Party. Seriously. Of the Late Night talk show hosts, Jay is definitely the Republican. And NBC wants to get that white middle-aged middle-class demographic. The same demographic that makes up the majority of the Tea Party. Conan, obviously, is not Republican in any way. NBC is becoming more and more like Fox; Nightly News does more stories on the Tea Party then ABC or CBS put together. Jay represents the "sense of humor" of the DAYS OF THUNDER crowd.

I'll take some jock douchebag any day over these people... at least they have a physical talent. I've noticed a lot of Kevin Smith fans have this personality traits... and every high school out in the northeastern boondocks or suburbs of dirty Jersey has this sub-group as well. I don't mind mean comedy when it's called for, but Kimmel is the type that it comes off as unnecessary and uncalled for.

When I feel like watching a late night talk show, I turn on Craig Ferguson. Not every night's a gem, but he's irreverant, witty, genuinely good at talking to his guests, and his monologues are great. For those who doubt, here's a sample, IMHO one of his all-time best show-openers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= GDuIvZkLun8 . His puppets and musical numbers are awesome, and he's pretty easy on the eyes... so however it works out for Jay and Conan is fine, whatever. I'll be laughing with Craig.

ALL "Late Night" shows suck
by Unscripted
This whole war is ridiculous - hasn't anyone noticed that the big-name-host "late night" show ran out of gas around Johnny's 20th year and has been sucking fumes (and wind) ever since? It's mind-blowing idiocy that only survives because its audience is either wired or fried or staying up late to fool Mom and Dad. Bury the whole genre, starting with Jay and Conan and Davey, and move on!

TheRevenge, re: demographics / numbers
by dp4m
You write about comparing millions of viewers (5mm vs. 3mm) which, if it mattered, would be relevant. However, the only advertising revenue worth anything is the M18-39 (or 18-49, I always forget) which is what both tvbythenumbers.com and many of the posters on Conan/Leno talkbacks reference. Those numbers are far, far more in Conan's favor, are they not? Why would NBC worry about overall numbers of viewers when it has no bearing on the advertising numbers and the appropriate audiences therein?

No, you're wrong, dp4m. Ratings for 18-49 year olds
by Coughlins Laws
DOES matter the most, but overall viewers matter, too. Younger viewers are rated higher, but to try and make the point that anyone over 49 doesn't matter at all is incorrect, and downright insulting.

re: Ratings and Demographics
by dp4m
From tvbythenumbers.com and the FAQ: "3. Why all this focus on 18-34 and 18-49 year olds! It's the people over 50 who have all the money. Why be ageist? I know it is counter-intuitive for some people, but the focus on the younger age demographics isn't a function of spending power or ageism, it's a function of advertisers desire to reach younger viewers, and relative availability. It's much, much easier to reach a 60 year old than a 25 year old via television advertising because on average a higher percentage of 60 year olds watch a higher percentage of television than 25 year olds. Relatively speaking, the 60 year old is easy to reach and the 25 year old far more scarce. The relative scarcity of younger viewers increases both the focus and advertising premiums paid for younger viewers. Whether this is good, bad, right or wrong, I can't really say. I can say, at least for now, that's the way it is. It's really not just about how old you are or how much money you have to spend. It's also about how easy it is to reach you. The easier it is to reach you, the less advertisers are willing to pay for you, the harder it is to reach you, the more they are willing to pay." -- so, to that end, it definitely seems like the proper demo is the only kinda-important thing, especially given the article posted here on AICN last year.

dp4m, check out that youtube clip I mentioned...
by CrusherJen
In that monologue, Craig talks about society's views on age vs. youth... and it's not only true, it's funny as hell. Huh, guess I picked the right clip to cite after all.

last year..
by emeraldboy
rte gave so the so called and not very funny corkian twat and sunday indo hack brendan o connor his own chatshow. after a brief ratings high the saturday night show ratings levelled off. what nobody knew was the rte were taking a risk by hiring the sarky o'connor and had a plan b. after 8 weeks off went O'connor and on came Craig doyle. and his show called tonight. it was later revealed that rte had spent 120,000 on the tonight's set. in a weird jay leno/conan o brien/tonight show piece of bizarreness. off went Craig doyle and back to our screens came Brendan O'connor. rte has come under fire because of inhouse guests booking policy. it will only now book guests that work on rte. painting by numbers, really.
