Conan's Reign Ends...and then begins AGAIN!

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

I know Conan isn't for everybody, but I think he is very creative and always seem to be having a good time. Leno is very generic to me.

Same here, I used to like leno until he just got boring and repetitive to me. Conan seems like he actually enjoys his job and is willing to say/do anything (within reason obviously) for a laugh. This whole situation is really worst case scenario for CoCo, looking back I wish he would have just stayed at late night and kept making comedy gold. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess, I just don't want him or his fans to get screwed here.

If Conan leaves he'd fit like a glove at FOX.

I'm just sayin

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

Thing is Fox doesn't know if it's worth it to have a late night show in this economy, especially given the $ affiliates would be out with the syndicated shows they have at 11pm.

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

Conan would be stupid to walk away from that money just because he gets pushed back 30 minutes. I dont see this as a big deal in all honesty, hes still on earlier then he was with his old show, its still the Tonight Show and hes still getting paid an unbelievable salary to do what he loves so why would 30 minutes equal him leaving for the unknown of another channel like Fox?

I would like to know how Jeff Zucker still has a job. NBC went from 1st to 4th and I don't see things changing for NBC anytime soon.

I haven't watched every episode of Conan, but I've yet to see Triump The Insult Comic Dog or the masturbating bear make an appearance. The Tonight Show doesn't feel the same.

Conan retired the Masturbating Bear before he left his old time slot.

But yeah, there's no doubt that Conan was more edgy, more offbeat, and generally much better in the later time slot.

Looks like NBC wants to bump Leno back to a shortened Tonight Show, Conan goes back to "Late Night," and Fallon does an unnamed show at 1am according to CNN.com

Triumph was around last week, he did a bit at a dog spa...

I was expecting to see the return of the "A**" stamp for Max, but they did a bit on it a couple days ago and the stamp was changed to "Nerd"... Just not the same.

Yeah, not a done deal yet, who knows if Conan will agree...

Leno is such a *****. Conan is freaking hilarious. I hope that Conan tells him to retire.

I hope he moves on. With that said, he was too cookie cutter on the Tonight Show. He's so much funnier when he can just be himself and have outlandish and edgy things.

During the last week of his old show, they retired some of the more vulgar characters like the masturbating bear.

Triumph has been on though.

Well there was an article I read that stated the network had a clause in there that allowed them to push the start time of Conan's show back 30 minutes but no more then that so it really doesnt matter if Conan agrees or not. Now I suppose he could breach his contract and leave or seek a buy out (which would probably never happen) but then he would be turning down a good amount of money for the unknown of Fox, just doesnt make sense to me personally.
