The recent shake-up in late night network TV has led to a lot of bad things. Conan O'Brien possibly not having a show into the foreseeable future. The creation of a group of complaining Twitterers who think they're important calling themselves "Team Coco." Jimmy Kimmel looking like he's something other than terrible.
But all that is peanuts compared to this travesty:
But why not torture ourselves a little more and take a closer look?
0:08: Oh God. I don't know if I can do this. Oh Jesus.
0:13: Oh man! They are all white! No one has ever noticed that before. Good work, guy!
0:15: I wonder if it was this guy's intention to make it look like his badly cropped pictures of Leno, Conan, Letterman, Kimmel and Fallon were humping each other. Nah, that's too funny.
0:26: Which one of these hosts is supposed to be the one with the lady voice?
0:45: Even Leno looks like this is below him.
0:57: "Top o' the morn?" Really, video? Do you even know who Conan O'Brien is?
1:05: Based on the rich, radio-ready baritone they have given his stick puppet and the fact that they have him hypnotically sliding back and forth in front of Leno's old "Tonight Show" set, I'm gonna guess the answer is no.
1:31: "And problems on NBC shows." Man, that just ain't a sentence.
1:45: Bill Clinton's surprise appearance as guest saxophonist confirms my suspicion that this guy has been waiting to make this video since the last time two late night hosts had a public battle, and figured none of it was really worth updating.
1:56: I'd say this way-too-long sax solo is a commentary on how late night shows are mostly filler, but, the rest of the video.
2:09: Not only does Dave's voice sound exactly like Conan's, his rap doesn't even kind of rhyme. It's like the guy gave up halfway through, but felt a responsibility to include everybody. Like Letterman would be mad not to be a part of this.
2:27: The fact that Jimmy Kimmel calls "Nightline" a "news program" confirms my suspicion that the guy who made this video is at least 75.
2:31: "Ben Aflack?" Does Jimmy Kimmel have a speech impediment I've never noticed?
2:38: Oh, good, Clinton's back. You know, for those of us that missed it the first time.
2:58: The Roots should fucking sue someone for being included in this godawful shit.
3:15: Man, that is one racially sensitive portrayal of Arsenio Hall.
3:27: If this guy's so interested in Clinton playing the sax, why didn't he just make a video about that and leave the rest of us alone?
3:56: It's pretty damn amazing that somebody could be on Team Conan and clearly have no idea who he is.
But that's just SeanieMic, man!

Ack. Hate that video. Have to remember to burn down the creator's house. And car. and place of business. Then wait 2 weeks, and burn down the cardboard box he's forced to live in.

Why do I come here? I wasn't aware of that video before. Now I am. This is all your fault.

Jay Leno sounds exactly like Coach Z from Homestar Runner.
That is the nicest thing I'm going to say about that video.
