Yep. Needless to say -- and without a horse in the race -- NBC acquiesced. Says THR:
An NBC source says the video was "run prematurely." After a THR inquiry, the source says the network will not air any more of Fallon's Mad Men spoofs until after the voting window closes on Aug. 17.
Oh good. Well at least there's something to look forward to for next week. In the meantime, which network narc'd?
Figure against HBO (True Blood), Showtime (Dexter) and AMC (Breaking Bad in addition to Mad Men), if only because of an honor among cable nets that I'd like to imagine exists. That would leave CBS (The Good Wife) and ABC (Lost). Considering THR has quite a backstage relationship with someone at ABC -- or at least seems to -- why do I have a sneaking suspicion it wasn't Les Moonves getting on the horn to complain?
