Ben Silverman is the most high profile douche-hat executive at NBC, which is saying a lot. He's also one of the youngest, which in some cases might mean he would be allowed some leeway when it came to picking the winning horses for the peacock station. He did, after all, bank on The Office, which as you can see from the grins on his and Melora Hadin's face on your right, did pretty well for itself.
But there are murmurings that Silverman may have finally run out his boss' patience at NBC with the less-than-stellar ratings for his pet project, Knight Rider, and could soon be pounding the pavement with all the i-bankers in search of a new posish.
Bloggers wishful thinking, or a fer-real possibility? If worst comes to worst, Silverman could always make like David Blaine and blame the show's crap ratings (7.3 million viewers) on President Bush's address that night.

Ben Silverman's P.I. who makes Anthony Pellicano look like Mother Teresa…has gathered a ton of dirt on Jeff Zucker…business and professional "inproprieties". Put it this way…Ben Silverman ain't goin' anywhere kiddies. He'll leave NBC when he's good and ready. Until then…Jeff Zucker will be as they say "going with the program". Or as Ben likes to brag to the hoots and hollers of his closest confidants…"El Baldie is my new bitch"!!
Let nature run its course. Let the chips fall where they may. etc etc…..Have fun til they take your T-bird away….
But it is true that NBC has fired Ben Silverman?
W Las Vegas!!!!
Save Las Vegas!
But that still incompetent by Ben Silverman works at NBC? He was not sent home? After you delete Las Vegas, the only show that did make high ratings to NBC. I hope that the network fails and Gary Scott Thopmson able to achieve our desire, to give Las Vegas the final series that deserves our fans and that we deserve after 5 years of loyalty.
