Bill Carter, executive producer of CNN's docuseries The Story of Late Night and host of the Behind the Desk: Story of Late Night podcast, details the chaotic transition of The Tonight Show from host Jay Leno to Conan O'Brien--and back again. In 2010, NBC's CEO Jeff Zucker, had it all worked out when he moved Jay Leno from behind the desk at The Tonight Show, and handed the reins over to Conan O'Brien. But his decision was a spectacular failure. Ratings plummeted, affiliates were enraged--and when Zucker tried to put everything back the way it was, that plan backfired as well. No one is more uniquely suited to document the story of a late-night travesty than veteran media reporter and bestselling author, Bill Carter. In candid detail, he charts the vortex that sucked in not just Leno and O'Brien--but also Letterman, Stewart, Fallon, Kimmel, and Ferguson--as frantic agents and network executives tried to manage a tectonic shift in television's most beloved institution.
Dante is determined to get his girlfriend back. While looking for a way to do so, he discovers that all the events surrounding him are caused by an intentionally altered past.

This book has a little bit about everything, my opinions, politics, events, some history, some sports. I am sure that there are writings in here of interest for everyone, it is life. There is some history that some might not know for the fact most schools do not teach or they might have an agenda to keep the students dumb. I know I am not a scholar so there might be a period where a comma should be or a noun where a verb should be. Just bear with me and laugh at me if you want. Have a good time.
