conan > leno > fallon

i always watched conan instead of leno. conan is a hell of a lot funnier than leno and fallon combined.

Has anyone seen "The Late Shift"?

Its about the first time this happened.....

craig ferguson > letterman > conan

but honestly conan @ 1130 = sucks, he should move back to his old time slot so he can do the rated R stuff, whens the last time you saw the masturbating bear, or preparation H raymond

saveth 01-12-2010 04:22 PM

I hope conan goes to fox and takes the masterbating bear with him. His show hasn't been the same since he left 1230. However, it was better than the rest of the latenight talk shows.

Conans skits were money. Sometimes I'll be laughing for a good minute which is rare when it comes to anything on cable tv.

you prefer network tv ? dont tell me you're a fan of 30 rock or modern family

Gilgamesh 01-12-2010 04:40 PM

all>fallon. Conan has a good persona, but I think it's his writers that fail him.

ray666 01-12-2010 05:46 PM

man, i feel sorry for conan.

hal0g0dv2 01-12-2010 05:58 PM

fuck that is brutal

spoon.ek9 01-12-2010 06:22 PM

conan will easily pick up offers from other networks, he's a proven money maker! :D

whether he stays with NBC or goes elsewhere, i will watch his show.

seakrait 01-12-2010 06:23 PM

that sucks for conan. much respect for him. and i like jay leno too... if only for his everyday man persona and his love of cars. not sure how much of this is really his doing vs the NBC executives but i'm ready to dislike him if he, a man already having had a good long career and of good name, is ready to screw over a colleague for better ratings.

FN-2199 01-12-2010 07:18 PM

I love to see that Conan is stepping up to the plate to support what he loves.

I really hope those NBC pricks see what he sees in the franchise.

StylinRed 01-12-2010 08:40 PM

Leno kicks ass.... he's still pulling in 5million + viewers (although prior primetime ratings were in the 7million numbers) even still he has like double the audience that Conan does

Conan isn't the Tonight Show... he's Late Night... that's where he shines... that's where he's funniest

Conan pulled a bitch move to try and give Leno the boot... well he won... unfortunately he couldn't handle the winnings.
Conan foresaw his inability to handle the Tonight Show... that's why he got in his contract a deal where if he gets pulled from the Tonight Show he actually gets paid more $$$ (he's shrewd and conniving)

Culture_Vulture 01-12-2010 08:47 PM

i still say jay leno needs to just go away

Meowjin 01-12-2010 08:49 PM

Stylingred you couldn't be more wrong.

liu13 01-12-2010 09:11 PM

conan got the offer for the tonight show in 2004, how's that a bitch move?

why would anyone defend Leno? he's not funny
even when baked, he's just not funny

Bonjour43MA 01-12-2010 09:37 PM

me pulling my own thumb is funnier than anything Jay Leno says/does.

Harvey Specter 01-12-2010 09:45 PM

NBC as a network is going down the tube. Conan will most likely end up on Fox.

Your PT1 - wrong

PT2 - you're right, he had to dumb down his show for 11.35. I don't like it as much. But even Letterman had to dumb it down.

Pt3 - The contract Conan signed in 2004 stipulated he'd get the Tonight Show in June 2009. NBC didn't just want to let Leno go to Fox (or wherever) so they made this primetime show for him. Leno promised a new show but really its just the same show minus a desk and a stupid "10 at 10" segment. I don't believe Conan "foresaw" anything, this is just a big cockup my NBC. They mishandled everything and even if Jay Leno gets 11.30 back to me the show is stained, plus they now have the craptastic Jimmy Fallon following suit. Good Luck NBC.
