Gawker: Want to buy www.firejeffzucker.com?

Alex Pareene from Gawker.com just penned an excellent manifesto about the current state of NBC brought into the light by the whole Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno fiasco.

Recently we posted to support "Chuck," so it was given time to develop an audience. Low and behold someone at NBC decided to keep "Chuc"k around and it is clearly the most anticipated show of the winter. BUT NBC also kept it at 8 p.m. on Monday…against "How I Met Your Mother" and "House." That spells success.

Anyway, Gawker points out all of Zucker’s miscues and his unlikely ascension up the ladder. It’s a good read so check it out and know that there have been those of us who called for Zucker’s head years ago.

And for perfect synergy below is a clip of Chuck’s Zachary Levi on last night’s Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

Glad to see you weigh in on the late night debacle at NBC.

This is an embarrassment, pure and simple. Zucker's incompetence has driven NBC/U into the ground, and now it's practically dancing on the remains.

It still baffles me that GE didn't show Zucker the door ages ago. I hope Comcast is watching all of this mess with a cynical, jaundiced eye...and that someone there had the guts to tell Zucker that they won't be needing his "services".
