There's shit we don't remember, and there's shit that our kids kids are not going to remember too. Such a dumb vague superiority complex.

Still waiting to figure out what daily show is doing Gonna be interesting, giving they're still on that rotating hosts thing, but this really won't go down like last time. In 2007, streaming wasn't really a thing like it is now, YouTube was still young, & alternatives weren't as available. Now? You've got a myriad of YouTube/Twitch/TikTok/Vtuber creators; anime is mainstream enough it's not unfathomable that "normal" people would know what Demon Slayer, Jojo, & Attack on Titan are; K-dramas & Squid Game have made Korean productions very high profile; & most of the major streaming services have sizable backlogs of content to ride out a storm, until alternatives can be finalized. --- Remember kids, it's only an RPG until someone gets hit with a meteor; Then it's a JRPG!

I really think 16 years has put rose tinted glasses on people that remember Heroes fondly. It started really good and was hype throughout s1, but it definitely fizzled by end of the first season to be honest. I remember being super disappointed by the s1 finale and that was way before the writer's strike. I'm one of the few who stuck with the show all the way to the end, and I actually kinda liked some of season 4 but only because they brought in T-bag from prison break and he was perfect for a villain role on heroes. <cite>Noumas posted [p:973221275] in The childr...

Also, I dont really blame Fallon because he was after Jay screwed Conan. I remember the strike well though. Conan would just shoot remotes of him fucking with stuff in the NBC building lol Its just crazy to me that only a few years after this joke on 30 rock about him being a nobody, he's like the most popular talk show host guy that all the regular Joe shmoe's like https://youtu.be/hS47JVDvqGA?t=108 <cite>Noumas posted [p:973221442] in The childr...

Ratings dipped as expected for a new host, Leno regretted retiring and used that to worm his way back in. NBC also severely neutered Conan's brand of comedy for the 11pm show, so by the end he was probably sick of it all anyway. --- Oda break tracker 2022- 13 (3) \| THE Ohio State:11-1 \| Las Vegas Raiders: 6-9 <cite>voldothegr8 posted [p:973221463] in The childr...

They are the only ones who watch late night, and they went with what they are familar with which was an old white boomer who likes cars. This is crazy coincidence... my dad loved leno when I was growing up, and when I asked him about Fallon he loves him too! When I asked about conan he made a sour face and didn't like at all. Could it really be a generational thing. <cite>Noumas posted [p:973221533] in The childr... [t:80430701]...</cite> <quote>doshindude posted... </cite><quote>The Colbert Report kinda rolled with it.
