David Letterman is a complete asshole, and not funny in the least.
Team CONAN all the way.
Jay chose to leave and take his chance at 10 and he screwed it up. He now needs to show some respect and step aside. Either that, or let Conan keep the Tonight show at 11:35 and let Jay have the 12:35 slot, push Fallon back, and get rid of god-awful Carson Daly.
I got the impression that NBC pushed this on Leno. At the time, I thought it was a cheap, money saving move. It's much cheaper to put Leno on at 10 pm every day than have to come up with real programming.
That said, Conan is so bizarre looking that I have a hard time watching him at all. I won't watch anything after the 11 o'clock news, so it doesn't really matter to me who is on after that. I didn't mind having Leno on when nothing else was on TV at that time that I wanted to watch. It was kind of a nice fall back. Rumors are that they're making YET ANOTHER Law & Order to help fill the gap.. JUST what we need. Originality people, come up with something original!
I'm not a Conan fan. He tries to make every interview all about him, which kinda defeats the purpose of the interview. I'd rather watch Jay than Conan, but both pale in comparison to Dave.
I must admit that I thought Conan's letter was nice and extremely well-put.
Still, it's a non-issue for me since, when I watch late night TV, I watch Letterman.
