Jeff Zucker appeared on "Charlie Rose" Monday and acknowledged that the decision to move Conan O'Brien to the "Tonight Show" and Jay Leno to 10PM was "a mistake."

"Ultimately, it did not pan out. It was a mistake," Zucker said.

Zucker told Rose that he has received "death threats" in the last two weeks, since the NBC drama has played out in the public.

"People calling me names in the big scheme of things and people delivering death threats over a program moving back a half-hour is really incredibly out of context," he said.

1. Amazing Zucker can keep failing and still have a job

Dick Ebersole still has a job, too.

Amazing.

2. It was stupid to do the move in the first place,

then even more idiotic to boot Conan without giving him a chance.

But most dumb of all has to be people who send death threats over it all. They deserve jail time, if for nothing else than being complete idiots.
