The following song was written by TVDoneWright.com owner/writer Adam Wright to the tune of “Heartless” by Kanye West (covered by The Fray). Enjoy.
They gave Conan The Tonight Show, Primetime was where Leno would go
Leno sucked, the ratings dropped, Conan lost his show
To a network so heartless
How could they be so gutless?
How could they be so heartless?
How many times you were told?
Leno would flop in primetime yo
But you cut off scripted shows to save some dough
You put all your hopes and dreams on Leno
Conan moved his family and all his crew
To LA, he started off, his ratings grew
He was even beating Letterman night after night
Coco was crowned the new King of Late Night
Despite the heat, Leno debuted big on NBC
Could it be we were wrong about NBC?
But after a few weeks, viewers began to flee
T’was the beginning of the end of this tragedy
They gave Conan The Tonight Show, Primetime was where Leno would go
Leno sucked, the ratings dropped, Conan lost his show
To a network so heartless
How could they be so gutless?
How could they be so heartless?
Things weren’t only bad for Mr. Leno
He was bringing down all the other network’s shows
Law & Order: SVU, and Heroes
Out of 10 pm they got series lows
Even the local stations were pissed for
Their low numbers cause of their weak lead-in
It was like a bomb about to blow up
NBC announced they’re moving Leno’s Show
They want Conan to move, but he said listen to me
“Move The Tonight Show, and you’re losing me”
They picked Leno, over Coco but they’ll soon see
He’ll be on FOX sticking it to NBC
They gave Conan The Tonight Show, Primetime was where Leno would go
Leno sucked, the ratings dropped, Conan lost his show
To a network so heartless
How could they be so gutless?
How could they be so heartless?
They gave Conan The Tonight Show, Primetime was where Leno would go
Leno sucked, the ratings dropped, Conan lost his show
To a network so heartless
How could they be so gutless?
How could they be so heartless?
