    Re: Conan's Reign Ends - The Tonight Show

    Leno is a corny, unfunny tool and I hope his show is a ratings disaster.

    I miss CoCo.

      Re: Conan's Reign Ends - The Tonight Show

      I very much doubt this will happen, but what does NBC do if Leno comes back and the numbers aren't better than Conan's after 7 months? What if people really are pissed and aren't going to watch him?

      I know what I'll be doing, laughing, but I have no idea what NBC would do then. They'd probably just have to put up with Leno no matter what his numbers end up being.

        I wasn't aware he was such a popular stand up. Must be the richest of all time - what with all the cars, and that huge house of his; yet he never touches any of the money from his TV show.

          I found it hilarious that Oprah was trying to use that as some kind of defense for Jay's character and a reason why he should have the Tonight Show. "Everybody 'in the know' knows he doesn't live off his Tonight Show money" so he took jobs from people who relocated their families and DO need the money, but it's okay. He doesn't even enjoy the Tonight Show as much as stand-up, so why the hell didn't he just retire and keep doing what he loves and earns his living doing? That fact alone makes me have even less respect for him as a person than I already did.

                One thing I have to add is that Leno seems to want to blame Conan for tarnishing the Tonight Show's legacy but the kind of manipulation and backstabbing that he's done with NBC's help is more disgraceful IMO.

                One thing's for sure he'll never fully recover from this.

                P.S. I've always thought he was a smarmy jackass.

                  jay claims to not be spending any tonight show money, but I heard Stern reading a blog post of some stand up comic that said Jay works on his monologue for the coming week at some small comedy club in LA.

                  Obviously their is nothing wrong with that. But what the comic goes on to say is. He claims Jay waits around to collect the check from the club owner for the door. Which probably amounts to about a couple thousand dollars.

                    Jay seems to forget the whole reason for moving his show back is because he numbers suck and were causing NBC stations to either not air his show or leave altogether.

                      This whole thing has definitely lit a fire in Kimmel it seems. Letterman is just laughing his *** off at this whole thing.

                        Yeah, it's the Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach. It's called "Jay Leno Sundays" and it effing sucks.

                        The best standup comedy, amazing magic, and great food. Located in Hermosa Beach, just 6 miles from the Los Angeles airport.

                            Stern predicted the whole thing 3 years ago. He tried to warn Conan when he went on the late show in 2006-

                              I can, I love Letterman

                              It's hilarious watching him dog on this situation. I hated Leno before, I really hate him now. He's a douche.
