LATE NIGHT BLUNDER PARTY Leno–Conan Shuffle Becomes NBC’s Latest Drama (Maurice DiMino is in Pacific Time)
Many are calling it the biggest debacle in television programming history. NBC comes up with the bright idea to move Jay Leno, its leading late-night talk show host, up to prime time, and rewards the coveted Tonight Show to younger-crowd-pleasing Conan O’Brien.
But six months later, after O’Brien moves his entire family and staff from New York to L.A., he and Leno are both are pulling weak ratings—as are the local 11:00 news programs on NBC’s angry network affiliates—and, now, NBC has little choice but to play Indian-giver to O’Brien, as it awkwardly tries to put the lineup back to the way it was.
Available for interviews is an expert who can look at this story from a different angle. Maurice DiMino, the Sicilian Mentor, is an award-winning public speaker, author and presentation trainer to hundreds of executives, entrepreneurs and celebrities over the years, and he can offer a unique insight into how each of the members in this party shuffle should play out the drama.
How can NBC executives, once they wipe the egg off their collective face, best present what is essentially a demotion to O’Brien? How can Leno quietly step back into his old role on the Tonight Show without crawling? And how can O’Brien graciously do anything—be it accept his demotion or void his contract and move on in an attempt to sell his less-than-stellar success to another network?

From the flub up at NBC, to the trials of everyday life, he can offer your audience a unique course on how to make a persuasive presentation.
