- RoveFeed : Well thanks for sending that to me, god knows what I can do with your complaint.
- Guest_3233 : My friends and i were just waiting for Karrie @ the newsdesk to throw a few cheap lines about World Youth Day and the Pope (which she did of course; 'cause her only talent is making fun of others - not to their face of course. But to go so low as to have total disregard to the hordes of Christian visitors and a good deal of viewers by referring to the re-enactment of Christ's last days before he was put to a horrible cruel death, really was appalling - she showed her true colours. I'm sure i
- RoveFeed : Ian Thorpe is also appearing this week

Was Rove really up for ‘Late Night’ gig anyways?

May 13th, 2008 · No Comments

TV Tonight does not think so, and I’d be inclined to agree.

[...]some press in Oz are reporting that Rove “failed” to land the hosting gig on Late Night after NBC confirmed it would go to Jimmy Fallon when Conan O’Brien exits (the Herald Sun actually couldn’t decide whether it was Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel). For the record I don’t ever recall seeing any quotes from McManus that he was actively pursuing this, but that’s not to say there weren’t manouvers behind the scenes.

This news was effectively out some weeks ago.

Rove may have opportunities in the states but ‘Late Night’ was never one of them. Fallon had this gig basically sealed for at least a year.
