Screw NBC, Screw Jay Leno

I like both of them. I think they're both entertaining in their own, very different, ways. DVR always allowed me to catch 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,' and 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien.' Unfortunately, I wish that's where they stayed. I think that Jay has more "sophisticated" humor (I think that's the word I'm looking for), and should be on at an earlier time. Conan should probably have his own show a little later at night, as he did before.

Yet everything is as it is now, and the 'The Tonight Show' shouldn't be pushed back, no matter who the host is.

This.

I think Leno has awesome delivery, and Conan's "dont take yourself too seriously" approach is hilarious to me. I'm always 49%/51% for Jay/Conan back and forth - I really like them both.

While i dont think Leno's show blows total donkey egg, you can tell, aside from the first 5-7 minutes of dialoguing, that show is nothing but gimmick, half-assed interviews and advertising. What a copout on NBCs part, though they've taken a hit over the past 10 years, with many of their must-see TV hits having ended.

The gouging out my eyes, for me, also goes for "Lopez Tonight." I loove George Lopez' comedy, but damn it, he CAN NOT do a talk show. Just one lame joke after another....not funny George, not funny.

See i was with you until you tried to knock Lopez - while i don't think he's here for the long haul, I think he delivers in "bringing the party to late night." I like how he seems to personally know many of the guests, (ie working with them in the past) so it seems very familiar.

But since we're inciting a Late Night War 2KX, I agree we get rid of Jimmy (he does rock out in the Real Housewives parody, but otherwise... STAB STAB STAB), get rid of Carson (i like him as a person but he really doesnt need a show, esp on NBC. give him another network), hell, let's get rid of Jimmy Kimmel while we're at it.

but yes, im rocking out with #teamconan. If Fallon gets the boot, maybe Conan can hook the Roots up? They make up for more than half of my tolerance for Fallon being on-air.
