    Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Zucker. Go back to making “Airplane” movies.

    Oh, wait, that’s a different family of Zuckers. Ones with…what do you call it?…talent.

    It is a great day for us!! Zucker is out and so is Jon Klein at CNN. Good riddance to bad pieces of rubbish. They got what they deserved and that was being ousted!

    If this is the jerk who canceled Law & Order then there is a special place in hell for him.

    Remember that Zucker was the guy who canceled Southland, Kings, Life and My Own Worst Enemy, refused to give Law and Order a proper send-off, and was behind the Conan O’Brien/Jay Leno mess.

    Good riddance to the man who turned the #1 network into the #4 cesspool. Perhaps NBC will now be able to begin the process of winning back the audience who’ve deserted it for CBS, ABC and the cable networks.

    It’s about time he was fired!! What a debacle he has lelft behind.
    I stopped watching NBC five years ago; because every show that wasn’t reality crap was cancelled.

    Good riddance!!

    I am happy about this. I hope they bring someone who can bring back the kind of shows NBC had in the 90′s. Their Thursday night light up of Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld and Will & Grace were awesome. Nothing beat them, and all 4 of them continue to be my favorite shows, still today.

    Judging from this pic, this is the best thing to happen to Zucker. He never looked this bad before when he was in charge of the Today Show.
