President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize

I just can't understand the negative fuss about Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize... the man is staggeringly inspiring and deserves it (although I think he should cool it with the waltz he constantly does with the media... the media ain't as great as the media makes itself out to be... it is full of flawed, petty, socially dysfunctional people!)

TWO OF MY FAVORITE GUYS MAKE FOR GREAT TV!

I must say that it felt good to hear that the ratings for Jay Leno shot through the roof when President Barack Obama made an appearance on Leno's show last Thursday night. (CNBC aired the episode over via Astro during the weekend).

Here's a short report on the ratings of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as found on www.imdb.com......

President Obama's appearance on NBC's Tonight show with Jay Leno Thursday produced the show's highest ratings in years. NBC and Nielsen Research said that the 11.2 rating and 26 share was the best score that the NBC late show has generated in five years -- when an identical figure was produced for a special about Johnny Carson. One has to go back to the night of the Seinfeld finale in 1998, when Leno talked to the cast, to find an episode that drew more viewers. In an interview with Daily Variety, NBC Co-chairman Ben Silverman said that the network is hoping to come up with similar big "gets" when Leno moves to primetime later this year. "There's an opportunity to really eventize the show," Silverman said. "(We're looking) to make it distinct and it should play perfectly in primetime, where there is a massive audience. It will still be a comedy show, but with more segments and formats." (Source: http://www.imdb.com/news/ns0000003/#ni0719150).
