Are Page Six and ‘Mr. Television’ Conspiring Against Jimmy Fallon?

Wednesday’s edition of Page Six reports that the ratings for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon are down 20 percent from May of 2009 and that NBC executives are “on edge” over the fall. Gasp! Says Mediaweek’s Marc Berman — who actually goes by the late, great Milton Berle’s old nickname “Mr. Television” — “When they took out Jay and put in Conan, they lost a lot of the viewers who would usually have stayed on to watch Fallon. The lead-in is pivotal . . . When you mess around with viewers, sometimes it’s hard to get them back. TV is a very fickle business . . . If there is a lesson to be learned from this debacle, it is that if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” Good point, Mr. TV! And good thing Fallon isn’t broken.
