Holy shit I had no idea Hulu was what it is. They’ve got every Conan episode available for watching.

That guy puts it pretty clearly.
yeah figures into alot of what i thought happened but couldnt really confirm.
I don’t know if you all saw Tuesday’s show, but this skit was awesome

i saw that whats more funny is i had no idea he was working there. i saw him on comedy central wit his own special and he had me dying.
That guy is full of shit. This is the SECOND time Jay is stealing the tonight show from somebody else, it’s no coincidence. He’s not some nice guy or a victim of circumstances, he’s a cut-throat bastard who is only looking out for what he wants, no matter who he has to trample to get it. Jay could have easily walked away from NBC instead of going to 10, and he could have easily walked away from the 11:35 time slot now, but he isn’t.
Jays rating at the 10:00 hour sucked, and it pulled down the 11:00 news ratings, which in turned pulled down conans 11:35 ratings. Jay basically sabotaged Conans rating with his fucking show, then comes back with the excuse “Ah but Conans ratings are down compared to me!” Then he basically fucks over the tonight show by cramming his un-funny show, which only appeals to older people who are afraid of change (“oh sonny, I remember he used to guest host back for Carson! Such a nice young boy!”) into an 11:35 time slot, screwing over the tradition of the 11:30 tonight now. How can it be the tonight show when its not even on FUCKING TONIGHT.
Conans the only one with any integrity in this whole situation, as shown by the letter he put out, which was basically what is responsible for him getting fucked over by NBC. He made them look bad, now they want to destroy him. Leno is anything but an innocent bystander here, he’s a passive aggressive asshole who doesn’t give 2 shits about what the tonight show is all about, all he wants is fame.
Fuck him in his chin.
Fuck it, I’m going back to the conan av
Craig just gave an awesome opening to his show. FUCK YOU RUSH!
Dude shut up. Jay had, and has no control over who the fuck got the Tonight show. He didn’t steal it from Dave, Dave was never fucking offered, it was obvious as hell the NBC exects wanted Leno and not Dave.
yeah craigs the fucking man. lol…watch because of this latenight wars craigs ratings go up.
Except what you just said isn’t true because Jay’s ratings were consistent with what he had with his Tonight Show, and Conan’s ratings were consistent with what he had with his Late Night. Everyone is saying the target demographics of the two shows are different, but if that’s the case, then the more likely scenario would be that Jay’s audience would not watch Conan either way. The ratings of Conan’s Tonight Show did not change at all when Jay’s new show started. So how would he have sabotaged Conan’s ratings? To assume his audience?to whom Conan has little appeal?would sit through his show and then the evening news and then the Tonight Show is a huge assumption.
Now, I find Conan funnier than Jay, too, but I don’t really watch either show. I suspect most people on Team Coco don’t really watch the show, either. Maybe they’ll torrent it or watch clips later, but they obviously were watching the show on TV, or Conan’s ratings would have been higher.
Lettermen put in the time, and had been promised the show. He deserved the time slot, Leno didn’t. Sure, you can make the argument that NBC chose Leno, not Letterman. But when a similar situation shows up, and all of a sudden Leno is muscling back in, it kind of gives you perspective on the guy. He never put in the work and the sweat that Letterman and Conan did at a 12:30 show, he only guest hosted monday nights of the Tonight Show. Thats why he’s safe, because he doesn’t understand what is funny anymore. He’s over the hill, he’s nothing but a puppet for regurgitated material.
So no, I won’t shut up, Fuck him. He should have walked, not force his way back into the 11:35 time slot, have some fucking integrity for christ sake.
Except if you’re not one of the few people involved in Nielson polling, what we watch doesn’t matter. It’s only those handful that make up the ratings, it’s a horribly dated and flawed system. I haven’t been able to actually find solid ratings numbers, so I don’t know if there was a dip when Leno went on. But if all the affiliates are complaining that their 11:00 ratings are down due to the Leno Lead it, how can it NOT be fair to give Conan the same break?
Johnny Carson wanted Dave, if that counts for anything.
I think[media=youtube]-Ei4rgiDveY"[/media] summed it up pretty well. Jay was a great stand-up comedian but had no aspirations about what he wanted to do with the Tonight Show, he just wanted the Tonight Show. Both Conan and Dave had ideas about how they could improve it, but Jay only thought about pandering. Leno’s not Mencia-level, but he’s still a dick, and his show has always been offensively mediocre.
That just proves my fucking point if anything. NBC execs do whatever they want they don’t care what the hosts want. Jay didn’t want to leave but they made him. Now they see they fucked up and they wanna give it back no matter how much it fucks Conan over and Jays the bad guy cause he wont bend over and take it up ass, the exact thing they are trying to do to Conan? Fuck off you make no sense. It’s ok to do it to one but not the other cause you happen to like one better then other? And I thought SRK was supposed to be the smart internet forum.
So jay was just minding his own business when NBC gave him the tonight show, when it was promised to someone else? Twice?
you’re just trying to be contrary to seem different now
I wish the rep system was back, then I wouldn’t have to waste my time responding
People are acting like he kicked Dave in the balls and pushed him out the door so the execs wouldn’t see him. Who promised Dave the show, Carson? Well that was dumb cause he clearly didn’t have that kind of authority. If Dave ever had a chance of hosting The Tonight Show why wasn’t he hosting on Monday in order to get an audience comfortable with him instead of Jay?
Because he was hosting Late Night with David Letterman.
SILENCE WITH YOUR LIES!!!
You too.
Oh yeah XD. Tch now I feel stupid hahahaha.
Edit: Man only on Craigs show would they talk about pig urine lol.
hahaha nice av and sig
