NBC to hold Masterbaiting Bear Hostage
http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/01/16/nbc-to-conan-dont-you-dare-take-the-masturbating-bear/

Rumors are swirling that NBC and Conan are either making a deal right now or have already made a deal so he can leave NBC and go somewhere else (and Leno can take over The Tonight Show again). And now The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that NBC is going to keep some of the characters and sketches that Conan has used on his two shows over the years because they are the intellectual property of the network, including the Masturbating Bear, Pimpbot, Conando, and even the popular In The Year 3000 bit. No word yet on who owns Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. Wow, wouldn't it be horrible if somehow NBC owned him?

I havent seen Pimpbot 5000 in like 10 years. WTF ever happened to him? And I hope Robert Smiegel owns Triumph The Insult Comic Dog.

3. This is an outrage!
NBC claims that they own The Masturbating Bear and any and all characters and sketches Conan developed over the years including but not limited to:
  • Conando
  • In the Year 2000/3000
  • Desk Driving
  • The Ass Stamp
  • Audiencey Awards
  • Commemorative quarters
  • Pender Sings
  • The Interrupter
  • Horny Manatee
  • If They Mated
  • Recliner of Rage
  • Nerding It Up For Pierre
They also claim that they own Triumph the Insult Comic Dog!

The bizarre thing is NBC wouldn't allow Conan to do most of these bits at 11:30. Can NBC wind up looking any more petty?

6. This is the same shit they did to Letterman.
When will these jackasses ever learn?

If you want to know WHO I believe is pulling off this petty bullshit, it's this jackass:



And yes, he is truly a DICK.
