Have you heard? NBC's Jeff Zucker, the man responsible for Joey and the Conan debacle, is getting the boot when this Cablevision/NBC deal goes through. Ding, dong the witch is dead! So, of course, all sorts of people took to Twitter today to give him a proper send-off. Here are some of my favorites. That first one up top is from Conan writer Rob Kutner. Here are some more:

Here are two from Daily Show writer Tim Carvell:

Of course, Conan's band leader La Bamba had to get in on it:

    But NBC has done so well in his hands?! This is clearly so unfair, at least he'll get $30 to $40 million to leave (or ~$10 million per network that leapfrogged NBC).
