| Well, tonight was Conan's last show. I imagine some of you have been keeping up with this whole NBC/Leno game. Basically Leno's show failed, ratings were horrible, the Tonight Show was getting hit a bit too (give the guy time damnit) and well ... Leno gets his way, he's coming back and for $42 million Conan has left (which he gave $12 to his staff).
I think NBC just really kicked themselves in the ass here. Conan needed time, he's more popular with the younger crowds and if he was given time, 10-20 years from now that crowd would still be with him plus more. Leno on the other hand is old, along with his main audience, he's got to go at some point. But I guess that means after 6+ years or whatever since he was supposed to first retire. Apparently this whole situation happened with Letterman too? Tonight Conan, after the monologue of course, gave an excellent realistic speech that gave NBC nothing but absolute praise and respect. They surely didn't deserve any of that at all, but damn, what a man. Unfortunately due to the contract, Conan will be off air until September. But I imagine in the end, this could be the best thing that'll ever happen to him. There's a stir up that Fox might take this chance to start up a Tonight show themselves again, or whatever. Chances are Conan will probably find a new home, with his awesome crew, and hopefully destroy Leno. Coco 4 life. 7 months is all he got. Not even a year. Fuck you Leno, fuck you NBC.

| Conan is the freaking man. Don't get me wrong though, I actually like Leno. BUT, I couldn't agree more with who is more popular with the younger crowd. | |||

In all honesty, not many people in L.A. even like Leno. The city's mostly behind Conan. A few days ago, there was a huge "I'm with Coco!" rally in the rain outside of NBC Universal (outside of Universal Studios Hollywood) and he came out to greet them and talk with them. |

| Conan just seems like a guy you could walk up to and make conversation with and maybe even befriend the dude. He seems real.
Leno on the other hand comes off as a pure suit. Chances are if you walked up to him he'd brush you away so he's not late for his manicure. |

| The love you guys have for Conan sort of scares me. I think he's good, but god damn.
In any case, the whole fiasco is sort of bullshit. Should've just ditched Leno. |

| From what I heard it was the NBC affiliates that started all this, not Leno... he just went along with it. The show wasn't getting the ratings, the affiliates were losing money, they demand the changes and chaos ensues. NBC is a moron, they should never have agreed to it.
But yes, back in 1992 there was a war between Leno and Letterman over who would succeed Johnny Carson as the Tonight Show's host... there is apparently a movie about it. But yeah, that was the last Late Night war. Now don't get me wrong, I actually like Leno. I think he's very funny. However, I also like Conan and while some of his bits do get on my nerves I really think he's been given the shaft here and that is just wrong. Also, I agree, Conan does seem way more approachable than Leno, but I am sure it's not easy to get near either of them. |

| Well, the issue with Leno's show was that it was taking up the 10-11 p.m. prime time slot Monday-Friday.
This pretty much killed NBC's safe harbor time which made it impossible to air shows like Southland (which they spent MANY, MANY a pretty penny advertising) due to their being too adult to show before 10 p.m., when safe harbor starts. By not allowing for multiple dramas to take up that time, it was also killing the studios who put together those shows for the networks. Leno HAD to be pushed back to after the news which would mean pushing Conan back and putting it all back where it was, except with their shows having different names. To be honest, the best route to go would have been to cancel Jimmy Fallon and put Leno in that spot and to leave the Tonight Show where it was. Is Carson Daly's Last Call even on any more? |

| Apparently yes, not that I know why. But I agree, Jimmy Fallon's show is not that good at all, it would have been way easier to just toss it. But no, gotta screw over Conan. | |||

| Jimmy Fallon is his own joke. How lame he is is what's funny about him.
The joke got old fast. |

| I agree. Honestly, it got old after the first five minutes of the first show. I think it's a new record. | |||

| Now... who likes a good story about a bridge?
Meh, but Buzz Killington's so much more entertaining than watching Jimmy Fallon muse to himself about ponytails making the back of girls' heads look like "horses' butts." |

| Buzz Killington is hands down the best repeated joke Family Guy has ever done. I'm not going to include American Dad in that, though, because we all know American Dad is the vastly superior show.
I digress. I hated Jimmy Fallon when he laughed at his own jokes and threw his pencil at the camera on SNL. He doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Coco. |
