Saturday's abysmally rated XFL telecast brought NBC possibly the worst primetime Nielsens among the big three networks in TV history, dragging the network down to a third-place finish in the ratings last week. While NBC entertainment president Jeff Zucker wasn't expected to pull the plug before the league's final five games, he wouldn't comment on XFL's chances of seeing next year... In other news, Inside.com reports that Zucker's ousted predecessor, Garth Ancier, already has found another cushy job as executive vice president of programming at Turner Networks. Proving what a small town Hollywood is, Ancier will report to his old boss, former WB CEO and current Turner Broadcasting chairman Jamie Kellner.
