Late Night Show!

The at Late Night Show with Conan O’Brien is coming to a 16 year end. The show isn’t going away though, just a new host, Jimmy Fallon. This change is happening on Feb. 20th. And Conan O’Brien isn’t going away, he’s taking over the Tonight Show currently hosted by Jay Leno, which doesn’t really want to leave. NBC thought it was time for a change, so they made it. The problem was that NBC thought Jay Leno would retire, but that wasn’t going to happen. Jay Leno had talked about moving to another network, which would have hurt NBC. So NBC created another show that Jay Leno will be hosting, just like the Tonight Show. The new show will air right before the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. I think NBC made big mistake on having Jay Leno leave the Tonight Show. He’s so much funnier than Conan O’Brien is, but what do I know.

Salaried Employees!

Over the last few weeks General Motors Corp. has been trying to get inline to receive another cut of the bailout money. I was reading that they have until March 31st to show their still a good company. So instead of trying to reduce their high prices for vehicles their going to cut about 5,000 salaried employees. I thought the point to give the money was to help get people employed, guess not. But then again, maybe General Motors Corp. needs to get smaller again before they grow again. I also would like to add that this cut of 5,000 salaried employees would make their total cut of salaried employees just over 10,000 within a year. That’s a lot of high paying jobs gone. I think that General Motors Corp. will need to start treating what employees they have left with some promotional business gifts. Because if they fail to treat the employees they have left good, they would have any soon. I really don’t know if this is a good move by General Motors Corp., but hope it works.

Citigroup Lending Money!

I was reading that over the last few months Citigroup hasn’t been lending the money they should. They’ve received billions in funds from the U.S. Tax Payers, but haven’t been lending it. The pressure they’ve been receiving and questions about what their doing with the money has forced them to start lending more money. And that’s what their going to be doing, to the tune of $36.5 billion, which will mostly be in mortgages and credit card loans. So if you’ve been trying to get a loan, but turned down you might want to head on over to Citigroup. But then again I wouldn’t trust Citigroup ever again, mostly because of all their threaten to get their way. A matter of fact I will never trust another bank, if I had my way I would sleep with my money right under me. The problem with that is if everyone did that we’ll be worst off, we need each other’s money to get the world turning. There’s got to be a better way to make sure these problems never happen again.
