    Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show



    Now Jay might leave NBC too. If Jimmy Fallon gets the Tonight Show then NBC might as well just concede and run infomercials from 11:35 until the Today show starts.

      Conan needs to go to Fox. He'll have full reign over his show and Fox allows more things to pass through censorship... he can have a field day with it.

          Thats not true. His contract states that if he is moved from 11:35, Conan can terminate the contract and as a penalty NBC has to pay him for the next 4 yrs. If NBC had the right to move him to 12:05, they would just move him and dare him to breach the contract (which Conan wouldnt do because that means he would get sued and wouldnt be able to work for 4 yrs).

          This is why they were negotiating with Conan, hoping that he would be willing to move back to 12:05 for more money.

            Where did you hear that at exactly? Ive read numerous websites that report that there was a clause that allowed them to move it back 30 minutes but no later and suddenly youre talking as if youve got some inside info or something that all these other news outlets dont have.

              Letterman did pretty well the first year or two after going to CBS and this year he's having very good ratings.

                Ive read it on Variety and one other site maybe the Hollywood Reporter. Even without reading that the other explanation doesnt even make sense. Conan has a contract for 4 more years. If NBC is permitted to move him back a half hour....this wouldnt even be a discussion. Conan wouldnt even have another network as an option because if he breached his contract he wouldnt be able to work for another network for the length of his contract (or at least 1-2 yrs of the contract).

                The NY Times is reporting that NBC doesnt believe its breached its contract by moving him but Conan's people do.

                  Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

                  I agree with the previously mentioned 11pm spot on Fox. Conan on Fox would kill. NBC pulls the reigns back on him too much for his style of comedy.

                  Here are some quotes in regards to Fox and Conan.


                  The late-night shuffle has played out amid speculation that O'Brien might bolt for Fox. And the network's top entertainment executive, Kevin Reilly, said on Monday, "I love Conan personally and professionally."
                  Fox declined comment Tuesday on O'Brien's statement, but it is taking action that would indicate the network is seriously considering bringing O'Brien to late-night, a period now largely filled by a variety of syndicated fare that includes network reruns.

                  Fox is asking some of its stations to study and report back on how much money is made with current late-night programming, according to a person familiar with the request. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to publicly discuss the request.

                                What did porr old Carson Daly do to Letterman?

                                Letterman is just crushing him again.
