Yeah it was still pretty damn funny, I just missed the characters. Wax Tom Cruise was great.
I don’t think what he’s doing right now counts. He’s a lame duck.
Right now he’s hilarious cause what are they gonna do, fire him?
It’s like NBC beat up on him and now he’s in CC mode with his Ultra. It’s too bad NBC’s got infinite health, but the combo video is too good.
The numbers you saw may have been the estimates for the 18-49 demographic, where the two shows do have similar ratings. The problem is that Leno has other demographics, too, while Conan pretty much doesn’t.
I really dont care about Conan or Jay because i dont watch any of these late night programs. But i fucking hate Jay Leno, he is such a worm! his signature Jay Walking bit was stolen from Howard Stern, his let the chicken pick winners for the nfl match ups was also stolen from Howard Stern. He just isnt funny to me and he comes out like a big douche when he opens his mouth, although i do like kimmel, especially after he dressed up like Jay Leno and then pretended to be Leno for his whole show LMAO!!
Very off topic but, does anyone remember S & M lincoln??? that shit was hilarious!
Andy with the projectile assist.
“Why is he still standing there?”
This whole thing is stupid.
I just read that the contract Conan signed states that NBC can push the Tonight Show back to 12:05. I also read that NBC and Conan are nearing a deal that would pay Conan $30 million to step down from hosting the Tonight Show and make him stay at NBC.
So, if that is all true, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno will return on March 1st, 2010.

That’s what we get for not having old people’s viewing habits. Although it pains me to see Conan lose his spot, most of us are going to continue to watch him via the internet, no matter what time slot he gets.
Conan O’ Brian has agreed to step down and let Jay Leno become Tonight Show host again.
This is ridiculous. Screw NBC (and Leno as well) for this entire debacle. Hopefully Conan shows up on a rival network with all his writers/characters/partners intact. Friggin’ NBC.
Not like NBC wasn’t a sinking ship before, but this really, really wrecks them. All the other networks must be high-fiving each other and taking steadfast notes for what NOT to do with your programming. How is the exec who green-lighted this decision (the initial change) still around?
Cause the exec is the CEO therefore he’s practically immune to everything unless shareholders wanted him gone and no one wants him gone apparently except for us viewers.
Speaking of NBC, you know it’s bad when they let go of the prominent Days of our Lives cast. We’re left with the younger cast and some of the veterans but most of them have gone into recurring roles so that the younger (and obviously cheaper) actors play out their stories.
OMG WAT??!!!
scatters for a link
I’d already teared up the instant I read the first sentence.

While it sucks that NBC fucked over Conan, I actually see potential in Conan doing alot more fucking better in another studio. The guy’s practically a gold mine, so whatever company picks him up next is going to get one hell of a tv personality.
yeah, conan will do fine. what i’m not sure about is whether jay will be fine. sure he’ll get his old time slot back, but after hosting a shitty 10 o clock show, and then moving back to his original show, will anybody watch? i mean, he’s lost a lot of momentum. he has built up an audience over the years, but in the process of being shuffled around he’s probably lost quit a few viewers. can he gain them back? especially if conan gets a new show and gets to compete directly with that time slot?
of course, a lot of comedians shun/hate jay now too, and he is being portrayed as a sleazy bad guy, but i doubt that will have any impact on ratings.
Just chiming in with a “Fuck NBC.” I’ve watched Conan since season one of Late Night, used to watch EVERY episode. Jay Leno’s Tonight Show was always as stale as month old bread.
