Television Team Coco leaves the building in June

Close. When Conan took over for Letterman on Late Night, part of his contract with NBC was that he would take over The Tonight Show after X-amount of years. When X-amount of years passed, Conan basically said "okay, it's time!" and NBC went "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...". NBC was scared that Leno would leave to go to a rival network and do a program there, so they offered him another 60-minute talk-show, The Jay Leno Show, which would air Mon-Fri in the 10-11pm slot (prime time...), followed by the local news, followed by Conan's Tonight Show, followed by Jimmy Fallon's Late Night... so, 3.5+ hours of talk-based content and not actual shows... NBC thought this idea was brilliant because it saved them money since talk shows are cheap to produce compared to sitcoms/dramas/whatever. However, unsurprisingly to any sane person, but somehow a surprise to NBC, their ratings PLUMMETED across the board almost immediately making them have the lowest ratings of any of the major networks, and by a significant amount supposedly. Leno basically refused to cut his show down to once per week instead of every week night, and instead pushed to be moved back to his 11:35 time-slot (after the local news), and shorten his show to 30-minutes, with the other shows being pushed back by 30-minutes. NBC even started airing ads with the new time-slots. They didn't talk to Conan about it, and when he found out he said "Uhh, no thanks, TTS has always aired at this time slot, I'm not willing to change that, and my contract states I have say", this reportedly caused a mini-war to break out between NBC, Leno, and Conan, with Conan basically telling NBC to F themselves and to buy him, and his crew, out of the contract. So, yes, it was more NBC than Leno, but Leno is also a douche. -
So, with PS3 and PS4, and even the 360 and Xbone, holding the PS button (the Xbox button for MS consoles ) for several seconds would basically be a shortcut to get to the power options (off/rest mode) - with the PS5, holding down the PS button doesn’t seem to do anything. Tapping it brings up that menu on the bottom of the screen which allows you to go all the way to the last menu which is power - no shortcut anymore? Seems like a weird omission

HBO Max? It’s a Disney property: more likely to go on Hulu, right?
