The Late Shift

Don't get me wrong, I'm on Team Conan, but YouTube user FiveAlex2009 has posted 26 Jay Leno appearances on 'The Late Show with David Letterman'....

All before their friendship crumbled because Jay Leno and his manager used shady tactics to beat out David Letterman for the 'Tonight Show' host position after Johnny Carson had retired.... And when I say beat out, I mean, having an agent who bullies NBC executives and hiding in closets during executive meetings to gain an upper hand in negotiations.... Have you seen the movie 'The Late Shift'? It's about the battle for the 'Tonight Show' host gig.... Now we need 'The Late Shift 2' to cover NBC's latest debacle between Jay and Conan O'Brien....

Keep in mind, most of the videos include David Letterman asking Jay Leno a question, then Jay proceeding to talk for four to five minutes. But it was interesting to see their dynamic (and Jay 'Elvis' Leno) before the feud.... Click on the photo of Jay and Dave to see the videos....

Chuckles And The Chin - Team Conan or Team Leno?

Are you on Team Conan or Team Leno?

Either way, both team wins.... Conan gets $32.5 million to stay at home and Jay Leno gets 'The Tonight Show' back.... I still think they should make up and create the buddy cop show 'Chuckles and The Chin'. They don't need to star in it, just use a large CGI chin with a mouth and a CGI ginger hairdo with a mouth.... They could fight crime and wisecrack all day long.... Come on, if we can make 'Avatar', we can definitely make 'Chuckles and The Chin'!

The real losers are Conan's staff. All of the staff that had moved from New York to California with their families to work on 'The Tonight Show'.... They're getting a severance package, but now they're all unemployed in a horrible job market....

Oh, and NBC loses too.... Now they don't have Conan O'Brien and they're out $40 million.... That's one expensive mistake....

Barack Obama Doesn't Care About Black People!

Jerry blogged last night about the tweet (is it a tweet? or a twit? or a twat?), about Barack Obama calling Kanye West a jackass for interrupting Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech a the MTV Video Music Awards....

I wasn't quite sure that it was real.... I would have assumed the President wouldn't have care to comment on this topic, at least not in this manner.... Anyway, here's the audio from the interview.... I'm liking Obama more and more every day....

On the other hand, Kanye West was on Jay Leno last night to give a public apology to Taylor Swift, and it all seemed to be going great until Jay asked him about his dead mother, then it just got uncomfortable....

Sulfur Hexafluoride

A scientist visited Jay Leno on the Tonight Show, and brought a dense gas (approximately 5 to 6 times heavier than air) called Sulfur Hexafluoride. The scientist called Sulfur Hexafluoride 'anti-helium'. Instead of making your voice really high, it makes your voice really low.

The gas is so dense, that when inhaled it fills the chamber of your mouth and because it transfer sound at such a low velocity it filters out all the high sounds in your voice!

Here's a few videos, the first one includes Jay Leno and Josh Duhamel using Sulfur Hexafluoride to make their voices lower, and the second includes a short clip of 'Mythbusters' Adam Savage using and explaining the effects of Helium and Sulfur Hexafluoride, and the last clip is of a scientist making an aluminum foil boat float on the dense gas.
