Re: The Tonight Show
This whole mess is due to the fact that Jay Leno isn't the slightest bit funny.

That may be, but I believe his last Tonight Show ratings were higher than Conan's up to this point.Chimneyfish wrote:This whole mess is due to the fact that Jay Leno isn't the slightest bit funny.
The talk/variety format has NEVER worked at 10pm...I don't know what NBC was thinking.
Bottom line for NBC; both guys have play-or-pay contracts.

Jimmy Fallon needs to have all his skin peeled off, deep fried, then force-fed to him while wolverines disembowel him.

They gave Leno a great lead-in when he hosted the Tonight Show while Conan is having to work with the worst lead-in on television.peetie44 wrote:That may be, but I believe his last Tonight Show ratings were higher than Conan's up to this point.
NBC definitely has the best comedy writers in the business but Leno just comes off like such a douche. I think Conan probably gets people to watch for longer than just the monologue. The only one I actually like is Kimmel. If he were on NBC he'd be great. His show was a lot better in the beginning when Corolla was still writing for it.

I grew up on Johnny Carson, so it's hard for me to really get a detailed, objective handle on all of this.Chimneyfish wrote:They gave Leno a great lead-in when he hosted the Tonight Show while Conan is having to work with the worst lead-in on television.peetie44 wrote:That may be, but I believe his last Tonight Show ratings were higher than Conan's up to this point.

After Johnny Carson, the Tonight Show sucks.

Will someone please get Conan O'Brien some pigment. Watching his pasty white face with cheek implants gone horribly wrong is not fun.

Re: The Tonight Show
I voted for the hot chick and the drunk.
Wait, now that I think about that, Chelsea Handler already has her own show.
*"hot" may be a bit generous, but I've certainly done worse

Re: The Tonight Show
See, this is what I mean. Kimmel is awesome and he agrees with me about Leno. Whenever he does a roast he's one of the wildest roasters there and he doesn't hold back at all. I've been a fan of his since he was the sports guy on KROQ. Unfortunately whenever I've ended up in Hollywood lately it's been on a weekend, when he's not taping his show.

I heard that on the radio today. That's some funny stuff - busting Jay's balls on his own show.Chimneyfish wrote:See, this is what I mean. Kimmel is awesome and he agrees with me about Leno.

I stopped watching any late night after Larry "Bud" Melman wasn't on anymore.
