The Issue

Since 2020, Frances Berwick became president of NBC Entertainment, and Susan Rovner became chairwoman of Entertainment and Streaming Content for NBC Universal. On their watch, we witness the end of Lilly Singh's 1:35 a.m. show A Little Late With Lilly Singh (which replaced Carson Daly's long-running Last Call program) after two years on the air, and they wanted to get rid of the 1:35 a.m. timeslot. Thanks to them, unfortunately, Late Night TV is lacking diversity, again. 

Last February, under their leadership, various employees were laid off (including NBC Universal-owned cable networks). Two well-known prime-time TV shows were wrongfully canceled on their watch, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (despite being an Emmy-winner), and Manifest (despite being #1 on Netflix's Most Popular List), the controversial cancelations of both shows were a complete injustice. 

We demand NBC do the right thing by giving the walking papers to Ms. Berwick, and Ms. Rovner, we need better leadership, new executives who care about the viewers instead of the ratings, and Reality TV nonsense. We're demanding NBC to Fire Susan Rovner and Frances Berwick. Bring Back Manifest and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.
