I had no idea Kimmel spent an entire show as Leno the other day. Thank god for youtube.
Conan is an honorable man. He will take his toys home with the $80M and sulk for four years.
Maybe she meant people with no sense of humor, who happen to be 112.
I think it's just people at random across the United States. They used to fill out a log, but I think now they hook something to their TV. At any rate, I don't think it's a very exact science anymore. With the number of options these days I'd think it'd be hard to get a good sampling of who is watching what.
In some markets people have a box hooked up to their tv that reports back to Nielsen what they watched, and then Nielsen bases their results on the total population area.
Other markets write them in a "diary" of what they watched when, and the same method is used. It didn't take into account DVR viewing in the past, but I think they are working on that now. It's really a joke in my opinion how they measure results.
This site has been pretty quick with Conan updates if anyone is interested...sounds like the ratings recently have taken a turn for the better for him...
ZUCKER THREATENS TO ICE CONAN! Says “I’ll Keep You Off The Air For 3 1/2 Years”; Conan Reps Counter: “This Will End Up In Front Of A Judge If NBC Doesn’t Wise Up”; UPDATE: NBC Boasts About CO’s Latest Ratings
Wouldn't NBC have to continue paying Conan for the remaining 3 and half years in order to keep him off the air?
Yes, I think that is what Zucker wanted to do, that way when his time is up people will have moved on and he wouldn't be a threat to them to take ratings.
