• Morality Clause in Brian Williams's Contract Will Determine His Fate

    Brian Williams has always had the ability to tell a great story. It is one of the things that has endeared him to NBC viewers for the last decade. Williams would be sent out in the field to work, and then when he popped up as a guest on a late-night talk show, the stories would be epic. Now we know that his tales may not have been rooted in truth and it is that embellishment problem that has prompted NBC to suspend Williams for six months without pay. There is already a debate over whether or not he will ever return, and the fallen anchor's fate may be decided by a morality clause in his contract.
  • Kathie Lee Ready to Exit 'Today' After NBC Snubs 18-Minute Musical

    Kathie Lee Gifford seems like the kind of woman who is always on the verge of a fight with someone, right? It is not because she is mean, but there is a candidness about her that does not sit well with everyone. Over the years we have heard numerous reports about her feuds with friends and co-workers, but the latest one is a real doozy. Successfully hosting the fourth hour of "Today" is supposed to carry with it certain perks, or at least that was her thinking, but her NBC boss Deborah Turness recently showed Gifford otherwise, leaving the diva furious and getting ready to exit. Gifford has created an 18-minute musical "Not Today and Tomorrow's Not Looking Good Either" that was supposed to air in early December before NBC's live broadcast of "Peter Pan."
  • Bill Cosby Will Never Have a Job With NBC Again

    Bill Cosby may have issued a statement earlier this week reassuring his remaining fans that his career is far from over, but ultimately, his ability to continue working is in the hands of other people and that is a real problem. If just one or two women had made allegations against the comedic legend, then he likely would be given the benefit of the doubt, but with more than 15 women coming forward, Cosby is going to have to have a real uphill battle.
  • CBS Ready to Go Dark on Dish Network This Thursday if Carriage Deal Isn't Reached

    As many as 14 million Dish Network subscribers could find themselves without access to CBS's programming if a new contract isn't in place by 7pm on Thursday. The network claims to have worked hard with Dish Network to reach a new agreement for carriage and at this point, they'd rather go dark than stay stuck in the limbo that they are currently sitting in. CBS officially issued a statement today explaining their perspective.
