brobradh77 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm unsure what to think about whats going on with Leno and Conan..NBC dropped the ball on how they handled this from the get go IMO...Leno changed his mind and did not want to retire but they forced him out while he was on top. They did this because Conan was supposed to take over then and they did not want to lose him. I think the biggest mistake was giving Jay his own show...Now it looks as if Jay will get the Tonight show back because conan will jump ship (as he should)... I really feel like its a dick move on Leno and NBC's part... Whats your opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsmcDuffner Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thats way past my bed time and if i do stay up that late normally its for a more explecit reason, so i havent been following it. But from your description Conan is got a very raw deal and I cant blame him if he wants to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitches040 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Seriously, I never understood why Leno left in the first place. I personally don't care for Conan's humor, but to each their own. I just hope Conan gets a nice settlement for Breach of Contract. Then jumps ship to another network. Posted from my Droid ...

idahoBLKss Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 i think your right brad , but nbc deserves everything they get up the a$$ because they tried to fix something that wasnt broke in the first place. they f'ed everything up with the new leno show they should of made it more of a out on the streets interacting with people type show then another talk show , imo. if i was connan i would take them for eveything he can.

diggerdan11 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 The rumer is that Connan is going to Fox and there going to give him his own show which makes sense. I just hope he gets a pig pay out from NBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I miss Leno being on the Tonight Show, but I can't stand Conan, so I have jumped ship and have been watching David Letterman since Leno left...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 NBC never imagined that Leno was going to be as successful as he was when they made the deal with Conan. They also figured that Leno (even he thought as well) would want to retire at that point. But things change. They should have told Conan that as long as Leno is in and doing well, he's the man. When he starts to slip or wants out, then you get the nod, but not until. NBC's biggest mistake was putting a guarantee or dead line on everything. It's like an NFL team having 2 star quarterbacks, it doesnt work well for long. You pick someone, stand behind them, and trade the other guy out unless he's content with being benched. Leno is hands the better comedian than Conan and appeals to more people. It's not that Conan isn't good, he is in his own right (I dont like his style either), his late late show ratings showed people liked him, but those are not always the same people that watch the Tonight Show. Leno also took his band with him too, that hurt. NBC was also banking that the public would come around and warm up to Conan and soon forget about Leno like they did for Leno when he took over from Johnny. I remember when Leno took over, not many people were happy about it, swore they would never watch again, but they did, and Leno turned out ok. But I think the landscape has changed a little bit and with advertising revenue shrinking, they needed a turn around faster. Conan and the Tonight Show ratings tanked when he took over, thats the long and short of it. I dont know what he is whinning about. He's out, Leno is in. Tonight Show will be back up in ratings, and NBC will have to sort out the mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobradh77 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 From my memory (which could be wrong) leno announced his retirement before they announced a successor...The jay had a change of heart but NBC would have lost Conan to another network so they forced him out....IMO a bad move since he was on top but NBC made their bed and should have to lay in it...I honestly would be surprised is this does not hurt Jay's ratings when he takes back over.

NTMD8R_SS Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I like Conan WAY better then Leno, Only thing i like about Leno are the headlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSThunder Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 both good shows. It's not Jays fault, NBC messed up. They have to move Jay because his show isn't doing well in it's time slot so affiliates(sp?) are pretty mad. Jay's show will be back up in ratings when it's back in his old time slot and Conan will go to another network as he should. NBc really screwed him so they should pay out the @ss. I like conan jokes better than Jay. I've never really liked him that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 conan FTW i would skip leno and watch conan when he was on at 12:35 i think conan will get his own show somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The rumer is that Connan is going to Fox and there going to give him his own show which makes sense. I just hope he gets a pig pay out from NBC I heard that as well, Conan to Fox. I am up past 4am everynite so I have a chance to see all the shows and can only stand the scottish dude (Im an idiot cant remember his name). I like Letterman's top 10 list which I catch, then its onto South Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenWaSS Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Like George Lopez said, "Conan has $40 million reasons not to stay". IMO Conan stinks, Leno is better, but Lopez Tonight is killing them all.... Edited January 15, 2010 by CenWaSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
