Malkin goes overboard attacking Jimmy Fallon for having guests she doesn’t like

Conservative author/pundit/blogger Michelle Malkin says that Jimmy Fallon is “a celebrity frauds best friend” in a syndicated column that really is nothing more than just an indictment of the Tonight Show host for having NBC News anchor Brian Williams and this Dunham woman whom I keep getting told in blogs and news items is a celebrity. The entire column has a “geez. take it easy, man” vibe to it for me in it’s tone but the larger reason i’m highlighting it is that it’s an example of how conservative pundits will often go overboard in their expectations of the media to hold Leftists and Democrats accountable – especially in entertainment settings.

I would understand her beef and curt tone if Fallon had a history of mixing it up politically (he doesn’t) or if he was guilty of a John Stewart style duplicity in where he

In this case, Fallons only crime is merely having guests on his show… Chill out, girl.

I’ve heard a lot of the same criticisms about Dunhams false rape claims and other allegedly distasteful actions and while she doesn’t sound like someone I would necessarily want to hang out with, Jimmy Freakin fallon is a bizarre tool to use with which to club her.

From Malkins column on the “Fallon-ization” of celebrity honesty

If you’re lucky enough to sit by his late-night throne and join his cool-kid games, all your troubles will melt away. Funnyman Jimmy is not just a bread-and-circuses buffoon. He’s the keeper of the pop culture immunity necklace.
A few weeks ago, “The Tonight Show” host bestowed his boob-tube shield upon grotesque actress Lena Dunham — a favorite repeat guest who famously declared an “obsessive crush” on Fallon. This time, they played “perverted Pictionary.” The main gag involved foot-long hot dogs.

Entertainment reporters and women’s magazines dutifully gushed about Dunham’s “fierce” doodling skills and “perfectly blended smoky eyes,” but not a peep from any of them about Dunham’s real-world lying game.

Behind the canned laughter and caked-on makeup lies the ugly truth: Dunham is a freaky-deaky fabulist and Hollywood deviant. After signing a hefty $3.5 million book deal with Random House, the hipster creator of HBO’s “Girls” and her publisher were forced late last year to walk back bogus allegations about a “rape” attack by an “Oberlin College Republican” that she neglected to disclose for nearly a decade … until she needed to generate book publicity.

Random House is now paying the falsely accused non-rapist college Republican’s legal fees. Instead of making amends, Dunham continues to make a martyr of herself, publishing a self-pitying diatribe on Buzzfeed and posting a prominent Twitter selfie with runny mascara mimicking two black eyes.

How twisted is she? Her bestselling memoir also contained disturbing accounts of Dunham forcing her younger sister to kiss her, masturbating in bed next to her, joking about acting like a “sexual predator,” and examining her genitals. When bona fide sexual abuse victims started expressing their disgust with Dunham’s cavalier attitude, she naturally blamed “conservative white men.” Dunham also bitterly attacked conservatives after critics questioned her soft-porn photo shoot with skeevy fashion photographer and accused serial sexual harasser Terry Richardson.

Whatevah. Dunham’s smoky eyes were “A+!” And did you see her Saint Laurent polka-dot dress?

Also – what the hell does “freaky deaky” mean? I’ve heard it and used it before but I thought it just meant “weird”. Malkin seems to be using it as a synonym for things like “sexually depraved” and “abhorrently dishonest”.

This whole thing is weird and conservatives should avoid a Malkin-ization in their media commentary.

Conan finally talks, but doesn’t say much

How Leno got screwed: he got booted from his show when he was at the top in the ratings and moved to a loser time slot with a loser show. How is that not getting screwed? because he was moved back to 11:30? then Conan didnt get screwed either since he too was moved back to 11:30 on another network. Clearly they both got screwed. I dont know what the deal is with this meme that Leno was the bad guy who got a smooth sail while Conan was the only victim.

Sneaky Slash slips Coco onto Leno (& Conan goes to TBS)

Try saying THAT title 108 times fast, eh? or don’t, since the bigger news is that Conan just signed a deal with TBS. But first the Slash pic:

Okay, so that’s kindov amusing. but what about this TBS bullshit? His new show will only be on Mondays through Thursdays – no Friday show?? dude… that’s when all his middle school to high school fans watch. It was the only time I watched growing up at least. ug… It will air at 11 p.m. Eastern, pushing George Lopez’s show “Lopez Tonight,” to midnight, which I find delightfully coincidental. How awesome would it have been if Lopez wrote a public letter to TBS in the style of Conans to NBC where they both refuse to move their shows from 11 to midnight to accommodate a new host? dude…

So why no Fox? Those of us who were paying attention knew that Fox was publicly saying they weren’t in negotiations or were actively interested but… didn’t 100% of us think that was bullshit? TBS? i just.. i… oy…

The AP reports: “In three months, I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable,” O’Brien said in a tongue-in-cheek-toned statement. “My plan is working perfectly.”

Theres no way this TBS bullshit is for real.. you heard it here first: Conan probably has a 1-2 year deal there designed to show the Fox affiliates that he is not ratings poison. once he’s shown to be a tested and proven commodity on TBS and the Fox execs convince their affiliates to carry him, Coco will respectfully not renew his contract with TBS and move to Fox at 11pm. Theres just no other way this makes sense. and no one is calling it out. wtf dude… im tellin you. you heard it here first…

Jay Leno is not a creep but this remixed ad is clever

Jay Leno moves from his canceled variety show at 10pm back to his role as host of the Tonight Show at 11:35pm on March 1st, so naturally NBC found it necessary to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties to have a Beatles song score the Public Service Announcement of the change. A clever Youtuber however has flipped the sentiment of the ad to make it a bash on Leno.

The original ad features the Beatles’ “Get Back,” at a point in the lyrics that say “get back to where you once belonged” which I guess is their way of saying the whole ‘Conan O’Brien as host’ thing was a big mistake and that Jay should have never been pushed out in the first place.

UPDATE: I’m leaving the embed here even though it’s expired cuz… wtf? that’s weird that a network would let a commercial for themselves expire on their own video distribution website. Hulu videos and whatnot, I understand expiring – but a commercial for the Tonight Show? really? you don’t wanna just leave that up for posterity and another excuse to show people a preroll commercial? whatever dude…

While I think Leno is getting smeared to hell over this debacle, I can’t deny that this Leno-bashing remix of the above promo is diabolically clever. It’s the same ad, slowed down for an unsettling effect and the audio replaced with Radiohead’s “Creep”, ending in the lyrics “I don’t belong here”.
Ouch + Zing = Win.

Bill O’Reilly hot for the Jonas

While teasing the upcoming segment where he praised whichever the youngest Jonas is, Bill O’Reilly said “the incredibly hot Jonas Brothers”. He was of course using “hot” as “popular”, but it’s funnier to think of the use of “hot” as “sexually desirable”. *giggles*

Bonus: Bill Maher calling Bill O’ a douche or a fuckhead or something, idk.
