To Arianna and the rest of the 'awardees" congratulations! The media certainly is the message. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbntdmH7aaE

I'm with Arianna on this one: the newspaper thing ain't murder, it's more like slow suicide.

Can someone explain Jimmy Fallon's career to me? How does he have a job in television? How?

OT: i watch the Jimmy Fallon show the other night for the first time. It's super boring and cheesy! he did this long bit with a carpet wheel that was not funny at all. he's not a comedian and never will be.

Bless you!

When is NBC gonna fire this loser? Is this what people think is funy? It could be funny if Falon wasn't involved

Wow. The "Webbys": Jimmy Fallon? Trent Reznor? Lisa Kudrow? It's like a time machine back to 1998. Here's my acceptance speech: Glad I couldn't make it.
