Will Jeff Zucker's dog and pony show go on?

BY SDH Clearly Hollywood writers carry a huge stick in the business so you would think media and entertainment execs would have reached an agreement with them by now, but nope! The strike killed the Golden Globes, they killed the talk shows for a while, they will hamper the Oscars and now they are about to kill NBC Universal boss Jeff Zucker's upfront presentation where he announces all the new shows NBC has in the pipelines "When people say the upfront, there are two things: One is the dog-and-pony show at Radio City and the second is the way we sell the inventory," Zucker told Reuters in an interview. The way that we sell the inventory in an upfront selling period is not going to change. Whether we still need to do the dog-and-pony show is completely under review here and you can look for an announcement on that from us very soon."
