Swift Takes a Swipe at Kanye

Admit it. You watched "Saturday Night Live" last weekend to hear Taylor Swift milk the Kanye incident for all its worth.
Kanye West did not interrupt Taylor Swift's monologue during "Saturday Night Live" last Saturday. Instead, Swift took a playful swipe at West for stealing her limelight at the MTV Video Music Awards a few months ago.
Swift was the host for "SNL" and opened with a comical monologue song.
Strumming her guitar to a catchy tune, Swift sang,
"You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye
And how he ran up on the stage and ruined my VMA monologue.
But there's nothing more to say, cuz everything's OK.
I've got security lining the stage."
Jason Sudeikis and Bill Hader then took the stage beside Swift, pretending to be body guards and holding up a sketch of West.

At the end of her monologue song, she ended with, "We have a great show and Kanye West is not here."
I think Swift did a great job of addressing the Kanye incident in a comical, classy manner. Although I secretly hoped to see Swift bash West, I admire the way she has handled the issue in such a mature way.
Taylor also gave a shout out to her rumored new flame, Taylor Lautner, in her monologue song, mentioning "the werewolf from Twilight," then mouthing, "Hi Taylor," winking, and blowing a kiss.
Throughout the show, Swift was on her the top of her game, from imitating Shakira to pulling a hilarious spoof of "Twilight," where she played Bella.
Let me know your thoughts.
See you tomorrow night!

Will Leno Leave?

Last week, I heard the unfortunate news that the "Jay Leno Show," which is on NBC every week night at 10 p.m. on NBC, is not doing well in the ratings.
In fact, its ratings are so bad that Leno doesn't even beat out a "C.S.I. Miami" rerun. Even local NBC affiliates are starting to complain, including 11 p.m. local news shows.
In a lengthy interview with "Broadcast & Cable," Leno took most of the blame for his new show's poor ratings, but also revealed that the earlier time slot was not his idea.
"Would I have preferred to stay at 11:30?" Leno asked himself in the interview. "Yeah, sure. I would have preferred that."
After dominating the late night talk show circuit for 17 years at the 11:30 p.m. time slot, NBC pushed Leno up to 10 p.m. in September. The results have been less than stellar.

But Leno is far from ready to throw in the towel. In fact, he is excited for the challenge of recapturing his ratings.
"I think it's too soon to say whether I regret anything or not," he said. "My thing is, I did 'The Tonight Show' for 17 years, that's what I did. It's like the America's Cup; you won it, they can't take it away from you. So now you try this and you see what happens."
I admire Leno for his optimism and persistence.
I think Leno will do just fine and will outlast his rivals and detractors. After all, he's done it before.
Let me know what you think and see you tomorrow night!
