Screw NBC, Screw Jay Leno

Agreed - Jay just isn't funny, and a change in time slot isn't going to change that. The only good thing to come out of this is that Conan has had some great monologues about the situation.

Everybody who thinks Leno is so great should have been loyal and watched his wack ass show at 10pm.

TEAM CONAN.

(But Letterman > Conan)

NBC can push all they want, that doesn't mean Jay has to be an ass and go along with it.

I never watch either of them, and rarely watch Letterman. Shoot, I'd ususally choose a rerun of Law and Order: SVU over any of them any night -- the monologue/talk show format just isn't my thing.

This.

Regardless, it's NBC that really loses, and probably deserves to lose. They're not looking good at all.

I actually LOVE Headlines and it is one of the few reasons why I'll occasionally tune into Leno. But that stupid racecar challenge? Total success for advertising but huge fail on entertainment value.

I agree. I think he should man up and "retire" again.

BEST JAY LENO SHOW CLIP EVER

I kind of had a bad feeling about the whole Jay Leno Show when it was announced shortly after Conan got the Tonight Show.

Oh man, that is brutal. Funny, but brutal.

I never was a fan of Leno or O'Brien, but I think if Leno does manage to take back the Tonight Show, the opening should include "I couldn't maintain an audience at 10pm" 1,000 times before you even hear Leno's voice.

Leno really should be humiliated that he has to be a big baby about this. He rolled the dice and lost - it's not like anyone's taking away any of his precious cars or anything.

And 33, you can have my pony. I'll keep the 0% interest.

That's the repulsive thing about him. He has NO pride. As long as he gets what he wants he doesn't care how bad he looks or who's upset. (Wait a minute, is this Jay Leno or my ex?)

Rosie O'Donnell ripped him a new one too.

Whatever happened to Arsenio Hall? Why did his show get cancelled?

Not gonna lie - I would totally watch it. Law and Order is my first, second, and third favorite show.

It was canceled like 15 years ago.

I wasn't sure when it was cancelled, but why did it get cancelled?

This has nothing to do with who is funny or not, it has to do with following through on promises. Conan stayed w/ the Late Show for 5 years more than he needed to, on the promise that he would get the Tonight Show (which at 12:05 is no longer the Tonight Show). Conan got nowhere NEAR the welcome that Jay got when he took over, and Jay was dying in the ratings for the first year and a half he was on.

"Doesn't it feel great to be vindicated?" - Whoopi Goldberg to David Letterman last night. He has to be the happiest he's ever been in his life right now.

I still remember when on one night, Arsenio Hall did everything opposite on his show. Instead of the "Woo Woo Woo Woo" from the audience, it was "Meow Meow Meow Meow." I used to looooooove that show when I was younger.
