I sure hope it's not true. I know TMZ isn't the most reliable source out there.

I guess NBC doesn't realize that the poor ratings for Leno have nothing to do with the timeslot, the man simply isn't funny or entertaining.

Last I read Fallon is getting the worst ratings out of every late night talk show. Bump him.

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

Not happy if that is true. I hate Leno I find him to have no humour. Conan is awesome and is hilarious. I hope this doesn't mean Fallon gets bumped because he has potential to be damn good. I have watched him the past couple weeks and I can see him growing into that role just like Conan did.

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

I don't understand why they would do this. Conan is doing well, and Leno... well his show sucks.

Seems like a stab in the back to Conan.

Wow... the leno show is horrible to me. His monologues are awful and even when he is interviewing the guest it lacks chemistry. Its painful to sit through that show. Why cant he just go drive some classic cars and stay off the idiot box.

Why is everyone attacking Jay as if its his fault

All of the name calling and everything is silly

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

How is it not his fault to some degree? He had to be involved in the decision to move his show back to the timeslot he prefers.

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

You guys do realize that Conan is drawing horrible ratings... right?

When Leno was in the same spot he killed Letterman night in night out.

Lets just be honest... Conan's humor doesn't fit with those that watch the Tonight Show.

It's a much older audience than what Conan had at Late Night and he just doesn't connect with those 50 and above.

I'm positive when Leno moves back to the Tonight Show he takes back the ratings lead within a year.

As for Conan, I hope he makes his way over to Fox. He'd fit in better, and could be himself in a more relaxed environment.

What? Does Leno run NBC? A talent doesn't get to choose what time slot he wants his show to run. He doesn't have a say at all as to whether or not his show runs at 11:30, or, if he even stays on the air at all.

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

Personally I dont find much of anything Conan does as remotely close to being funny but at the same time I get the feeling that this is more because of poor ratings for Leno and pressure from advertisers then it is a knock against Conan by NBC. If they move Leno to 11:30, hes only going to have a 30 minute show so Conan would only be on 30 minutes later then usual anyways so its not a big deal imo.

Having said all that, how are the ratings for Leno vs Conan anyways?

[Lintyfresh85]

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

Leno's is worse than Conan I believe...

I'm positive that Conan took a massive drop in ratings from what Leno had on the Tonight Show though.

Plus, as you say, Leno is a face advertisers trust.

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

I would not say that TMZ is a remotely reliable source, but if there is any truth to this I will be pretty upset. I love Conan, I watch the show almost every night.

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

TMZ is a pretty reliable source. They break EVERYTHING nowadays.

Re: Conan's Reign Begins - The Tonight Show

Well here is a front page article on yahoo that actually mentions that the show could just be canceled outright.
