Shortly afterward Warren Littlefield, who conducted over 50 interviews for the book, was fired by phone. His favorite show, “Will & Grace,” was still airing at the time. He has no kind words for the man who ultimately came in to run the show at NBC, Jeff Zucker. The network is now flailing.

Wow. That's the kind of attitude that sent NBC from a #1 to a last place network.
