Conan or Leno?

[St. Lou Stu]

They both suck.
Johnny re-runs would probably get higher ratings.

What amazes me is the Letterman crap that got old back in the 80's...but is STILL on TV.

Tobii, I don't think they had TV back when you were a kid in the 1880's, now quit talkin' out yer arse, old man.

I like Conan's humor more than Jay's. I think they're both fighting for survival and Jay has the upper hand. I hear NMC is playing hardball with Conan and saying if hey doesn't take the 12:05 spot, he can't have a show anywhere for 3 1/2 years. That would suck for him but mostly for his crew.

That would suck for all parties involved. Conan has enough money to survive for that long, but Andy Richter, the band, the writers, and all the others who relocated to CA from NY for seven months of work will be screwed big time...

Some people say Conan's ego is responsible, but I think he's telling the truth when he wants to save the institution that is The Tonight Show. But I will no longer watch it when he leaves.



Also, is Jay the real reason behind this? All signs point to yes, but I haven't heard anything official about it being about him. I know he has some bigger role within the ranks of NBC, so I would assume it to be true.

Either way they need to get rid of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Boring show.

NBC's affiliates were screaming about the poor ratings leading into their local news. They threatened to stop airing the Leno's show, unless NBC changed it.

I doubt this is a "Jay" move. It's more of an NBC trying to save a buck, which they did, at the expense of two funny guys careers.

There's some truth to the Johnny reruns! I wish I could see them again, as I was too young to stay up that late when Carson was on.
