2004 VIDEO: Jay Leno five years ago on future of the ‘The Tonight Show’: “Conan, take it over, it’s yours”

ByStarcasm Staff

In 2004 Jay Leno felt it was necessary to address the then recent disclosure that he would be handing over The Tonight Show reins to Conan O’Brien in 2009. Leno wanted his audience to understand his conviction as it pertained to this important changing of the guards.

Here’s the last thing he says:

“Because you know when I took this show over, boy there was a lot of animosity between me and Dave and who’s gonna get it, and quite frankly, a lot of … good friendships were permanently damaged. And I don’t want to see anybody ever have to go through that again. Cause this show is like a Dynasty. You hold it, and then you hand it off to the next person. And I don’t want to see all the fighting and all the ‘who’s better?’ and nasty things back and forth in the press so right now, here it is, Conan, it’s yours, see you in 4 years buddy!”

See the video of the full announcement and read the complete transcription!

James Cameron has directed the two top grossing films of all time with Titanic and Avatar, and it looks like number three is just around the corner! Cameron premiered a digital short of his latest project for an awestruck Lorne Michaels on the January 16 episode of Saturday Night Live.

Avatar was cool and all that, but the special effects of Laser Cats 5 make that movie look like claymation from the ’70s! But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself!

As the ratings for Gossip Girl continue to plummet at an alarming rate (backstabbing and uppityness just isn’t as interesting when it goes to college), we continue to see the results of lucrative deals that were inked back when the show was still hip. Case in point: Taylor Momsen’s new perfume and line of cosmetics for Victoria’s Secret called “Love Rocks.” See the zombie-eyed blond starlet pushing her wares at a store that used to be just as hip as Gossip Girl used to be, Hot Topic.

General Larry Platt’s “Pants On The Ground” has taken the nation by storm! DJ Larry P performed the showstopper on American Idol Wednesday night and by Thursday morning there were at least three different remixes going viral! (His performance is here too!)

But all that is just plain silliness. It took the great Canadian Grandfather of Grunge Neil Young to reveal the emotional depths of this song. I almost promise his rendition on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon will bring you to tears:

Tyler Baltierra’s dad Butch Baltierra’s mug shot and criminal record

ByAsa Hawks

There is so much teen mama drama on MTV’s reality series Teen Mom that is seems impossible someone on the show could distract from it, but that’s exactly what Butch, the uber-mulletted father of Tyler and step-father of Catelynn, did during last night’s episode “Standing Up!” Read all about his crazy storyline and his criminal past, including a possible contender for The Celebrity Mugshot Hall of Fame!

ByAsa Hawks

It’s Wednesday and that means… Teen Mom full episode! Did you miss last night’s episode or just want to watch all the mama drama again? That’s what we’re here for!

A “brief” recap of Teen Mom Episode 6 “Standing Up:” Amber struggles with receiving financial support from Gary and needing to put Leah in daycare. Ryan continues to prove Newton’s First Law: “An object at rest tends to remain at rest.” Meanwhile Maci seems to get bad advice from a relationship counselor that I think has a crush on Ryan. Farrah silences the haters by doing a number of unselfish things including taking Sophia to the library and talking to her estranged sister. Tyler and Catelynn continue to amaze with their ability to deal with an incomprehensibly bizarre situation at home as (let’s see if I can get this right) Tyler’s dad Butch gets in a fight with Catelynn’s mom and comes to stay with his ex-wife (Tyler’s mom). Also, Butch goes to court to see if he can avoid prison after violating his parole.

Real World Washington, D.C. Ashley Lindley myspace and twitter photos

ByAsa Hawks

MTV’s 23rd season of their Real World franchise launched tonight, this time in the nation’s capitol of Washington, D.C. As usual, the first episode featured a cacophony of memorable moments and characters as eight strangers from all over the country came together for the first time in the house they will be sharing for the next six months. There were religious debates, an outing of a homosexual, panda hats and an overabundance of flirting as Andrew, Ashely, Callie, Emily, Erika, Josh, Mike and Ty decided where they were going to sleep and who they were going to drive crazy.

Though there were some interesting characters present, the politically-charged hotness of Ashley Lindley from Houston, Texas seems to have garnered the most internet buzz immediately following the season premiere. The Portuguese hottie not only looked good as she talked about wanting to sleep naked, she also showed she was drama-ready and fully prepared to get in the thick of things, creating and sustaining the kind of drama this sort of show thrives on. She’s got attitude, religion and political fervor – that’s a recipe for some serious reality entertainment!

Top 5 Star Wars Jersey Shore trading cards

ByAsa Hawks

Ever wonder what the world would be like if George Lucas made reality television shows? Or if MTV made classic science fiction movies?

Me either. I have no idea why I did these. But, I DID! Here are some collectible trading cards from the alternate universe mashing up a galaxy far, far away with the boardwalk just across the river. It’s the world of Ewops, Tattoo-ine and partying at the Mos Jersey Cantina. A wonderful place where the stress of saving the universe over and over is replaced by the relative ease of hooking up with random hot Guidos and Guidettes over and over.

Though there are numerous beautiful characters and things from the offspring of Star Wars and Jersey Shore, I’ve managed to whittle it down to the Top 5, and here they are!

MTV appears to have a male/female graphic violence double standard, censoring the now-infamous “Snooki Punch” from the airing of the episode of Jersey Shore, yet they had no problem with Amber violently pushing her fiance Gary into a corner by his throat and then slapping him while screaming the entire time. Could you imagine the outrage if the roles had been reversed – if Gary had choked Amber and violently pushed her into the corner and hit her?!?

PHOTOS Jersey Shore’s Mike Sorrentino ‘The Situation’ Myspace and high school yearbook pictures

ByAsa Hawks

Clearly the American television viewing audience was completely unprepared for the rawness of MTV’s Jersey Shore. Guido fever has swept through the media and the nation and though everything from rationality and moral decency have been tried as a vaccine, nothing seems to be working.

Spearheading the Giuseppidemic is self-proclaimed Guidette Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, whose wild antics and audacious personality led to the infamous “Snooki punch” cleverly used by MTV in commercials for the show, and then censored from the actual episode before airing.

Running a close second to Snooki is the Guidoest of the Guidos, the abtastic Italian Stallion known simply as “The Situation.” I’ve dug up some older photos of Mike, including a photo from his high school yearbook! (Yes, he always had those abs.)
