I'd rather watch infomercials.

conan's a good guy for sure.

Maybe they should just move the Jay Leno show to Sunday nights after the late news. There's nothing on that night on NBC anyway. Nothing says he has to be on 5 nights a week.

I personally really dislike Jay Leno, and always have. Conan seems to be a stand up guy, and I always liked his sense of humor.

[Nostalgiabuff]

Arsenio, the world needs you now.

I never got that guy.

Good for Conan. Leno's time is over. If he wanted to keep the Tonight Show, he should have thought about that before NBC signed Conan as his successor (and trust me, they consulted with him before that). Jay is tainted goods now, he tried something and it failed. If Conan accepted the move, Jay might get some of his old ratings back, but for half an hour, and hurt the other two shows which are a some of the only things making money for them nowadays besides News. I just hope Conan's contract allows him to get the full contact money if they follow through. And the way NBC handled this, announcing it before knowing what would ultimately happen? No class. If Jay thinks he's still relevant, let him go to Fox and let the battle play itself out.

Boy, what a cluster.

Arsenio, the world needs you now.

So, since NBC seems determined to go ahead with their new plan, they'd have no choice but to fire Conan. Of course, they'd still have to pay him what's left on his multi-year contract, which is in the tens of millions. I assume Conan couldn't work for another network in that interim.

Or, he could quit his contract, and go work for Fox.

So what would you do? "Work" for millions, or have a five year vacation for millions?

I hope he comes back to a show. Conan's brand of humor was an extension of the kind of humor we saw on Letterman's show in the 80s, which I grew up loving.

I don't think the Tonight Show will be able to recover from this.

Leno, had so-so ratings to begin with ... now the whole world is going to hate his guts.

I don't see a future for him there anymore.

Conan is the public darling in all this -- especially after that speach.

I think NBC better rethink everything again.

Who runs that network, chimps ?
