GINGE HATE: Is Jay Leno Replacing Conan?
NBC has realized that airing The Happy Chin Fun Time Hour at 10pm 5 nights a week was a mistake. Because they suddenly got fucked in the nostril with the common sense stick, they have decided to snatch Jay Leno from the 10pm slot and put him back at 11:30pm after the Olympics in February. Grandma's going to have to go back to the meth to stay awake.
However, there's just one little problem. A certain ginge who goes by the name of Conan O'Brien currently occupies the 11:30pm slot. A source tells TMZ that NBC is deciding what to do with Conan. They could give Jay a half hour show and move Conan's hour-long show to 12. Or they could give Jay a full hour at 11:30 and send Conan back to the end of the rainbow (aka the unemployment line).
NBC didn't confirm any of this, but they did release this statement: "Jay Leno is one of the most compelling entertainers in the world today. As we have said all along, Jay's show has performed exactly as we anticipated on the network. It has, however, presented some issues for our affiliates. Both Jay and the show are committed to working closely with them to find ways to improve the performance."
Why does NBC gotta do this to A GINGE?! Jay Leno can't just chinbutt Conan out of his 11:30pm home like that! That's like if some bitch knocked on my door and said, "Hi, I used to live here and now I want to move back in so you have to leave." NO BITCH! It doesn't work that way. I signed shit! Wait, Conan signed shit, right?
I wish Leno would just self-potato himself in the corner and leave the ginge alone.

Look – Jay Leno isn't funny. He's so vanilla – he's only funny if you don't have a brain. Saying that Conan O'Brien and the Tonight Show (an institution of over a half century) should get bumped in favor of that chin is patently ridiculous, and if that means NBC is going to have to get payday loans to buy off that idiot, that is good by anyone's standards. For one, The Jay Leno Show is tanking, because he's lame, and Team Conan is far larger in ranks than Team Chin. NBC should bump Leno.
They never should have made Jay leave the show and move in the first place…geesh…if Conan is smart, he’ll run - not walk - over to Fox irregardless of the millions NBC will throw at him to stay. Go to a network that’s known for good programming, long-running shows, and who might run a hit show like an extended American Idol episode as a lead-in for his show. Conan don’t stay at a network where for years they’ve jerked around their late-night hosts. It’ll be worth it in the long run to go to a network that’s behind you for the long haul.
another one for Team Ferguson here!
Leno's show is awful.

Put Conan back on late night!
Jay Leno sucks so much Triumph wouldn't hump his leg. "Leno's got a great show...FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!"

I never liked Leno. Conan was better when he was on later. I guess a 1/2 hour of Leno is better than an hour of him at 10pm. If I were Conan, I would tell them to nip Leno down to a half hour and give me the next hour. Leno doesn't deserve to be on for two minutes, but if he has to go somewhere, put him on at 11:35 for 25 minutes. He sucks.
Leno sucks ass.
I never understood hıs mass appeal.

Leno obviously has incriminating photos of the NBC execs stashed somewhere, because NO ONE in their right mind would put that unfunny hack (who no one was sad to see go when he left the Tonight Show last year) back at 11:30 pm. Leno failed miserably at 10 and anyone else would have been out on his ass months ago. Yet now they're bumping Conan and putting back Leno so he can bring back his audience of senior citizens? What happened to courting the all-powerful 18-to-40 demographic? NBC is truly run by idiots now, and if they cancel Community I'm done with them.
I wonder if Leno and O'Brien get along well in real life or if they can't stand each other. I'd be curious if they are friends and if so, if Leno would refuse to usurp his friend's spot?
Conan used to be funny when Andy and Triumph were on when he had his own show. Never thought Leno was funny. Wasn't he supposed to retire a few years ago?

WHAAAAAAT?!
Good god.

I miss the old Conan, bits like in the year 2000, Triumph and the coked out werewolf were funny.
Craig Ferguson is one funny mofo, he had shark puppets sing In The Navy. Brilliant!
------------------------
Ah, right on. But now: Craig Ferguson for the win, although I catch him on random vids on YouTube and once in a rare free & tipsy night, curled up with my mayun watching whatever.
Conan wanted to jump the gun rather than wait an extra 8 years for Jay to retire. This is what happens. Conan was funny on his later show, but truly just sucks balls on the Tonight show.
This was their plan B all along. Conan's been dealing with these people for years, so he cant be surprised. Hurt maybe. Surprised, I doubt it. Jay Leno is a narcissistic asshole. He got so many chances when he was starting out, but his ego won't let hi step aside for someone else's sake. Anyway, considering the amount of money all these people are paid, they'll all bounce back fine.
"Compelling?" To whom? Seriously, I can't think of one person who watches the Tonight Show anymore. Yes, maybe if they happen to be killing time somewhere and channel surfing and catch a few minutes that night, but not like a habit, or "must-see" TV like Carson was to my mom. And I prefer Conan if push comes to shove, but really, if I had a gun to to my head and had to watch the Tonight Show or Jersey Shore for a week, Jersey Shore all the way; may the guido-trashing commmence!
Letterman was great 10 years ago, he's gotten a little too political these days, hence not funny.
we don't wanna hear it, i'd love to hear how he's cheating on his wife for years. then try and make fun of anything of any senator.
yes?
I really hate Leno especially since he bumped off so many dramas at 10.
I like Leno normally, but dude is doing worse then anything in his timeslot. Retire my friend, cause your bad reviews are even carrying over towards the local news at 11. people aren't watching local news after your show. and it's hurting Conan's numbers.
go away.
even the other networks won't allow their stars to appear on your show.
retire.
go away.
Real Housewives of Late Night better not be in danger.
Leno is a pig. He's telling more sex jokes which is gross, especially from his fug pie hole.
And he's pandering to the conservative base, which is base.
.

I feel sorry for Conan; I used to like him. I have been a Letterman fan most of my life. Craig Ferguson, however, is the funniest and most entertaining of all of them. He could never be on earlier, though.
Add me to team Ferguson.
Conan is much better in the late spot because he's free to do the crazy stuff they apparently wouldn't let him do earlier.... they Leno-ized him.
I don't know anyone under 65 that thinks Leno is funny.
I hate these stupid people who can think of nothing better than to point at the other person in a picture, like saying "No, no, YOU da man!"
So I hate this picture twice as much.
I also don't think any of the late-night hosts are funny. I've always thought you'd need to be really drunk to laugh at anything those guys say. Johnny Carson and Jack Parr were the only guys that made me laugh.
Fuck NBC! Team Conan!

If love had a dick I would eff with it. But it doesn't (it has a no crotch like Barbie).
I haven't seen Conan's new show at all (and have strangely caught Jay's like, twice), but Leno fucking suuuuuuucks, and has for years. Lame-ass Grandma humor to please Middle America families or something. The only funny clips I've seen of his show were OTHER PEOPLE'S dumb answers to his trivia/current events quiz. Conan, though I have heard his new show isn't as good as his old one, is at least himself a genuinely funny guy with a schtick that isn't straight our of the 80's. NBC fucking SUCKS these days besides 30 Rock, so does this decision surprise anyone? Want to turn the network around? Fire every exec there and hire people who aren't busy gumming Werther's Originals while chortling at their Laugh-In reruns. Ugh.
I miss Arsenio. Now that show was funny

Edited to add: Jimmy Kimmel has the funniest opening of all three, only wish he was on earlier.
-----------------------------------------------
I've been listening to Kimmel since I was a teenager (when he was on the radio), and I'm surprised at how much funnier he's become. I like his opening the best out of the others as well. I'm also cool with Andy Richter. There are so many times that he's saved Conan's ass lately.
Confidential to snippy: Triumph was just on Conan two days ago--went to a dog spa in Beverly Hills and was rude and nasty, just the way I like him!

I don't think any of them are funny anymore. Letterman sometimes, but the rest of them...meh. Maybe I am just a cranky bitch.
Letterman was funny back when he was on NBC, but I think he just quit trying after the network fucked him over by choosing Leno to replace Carson.
Jay Leno is an asshole and should hang it up already.

Is Triumph off Conan? That was the best part. If Triumph isn't there, I guess I haven't missed much by not watching Conan lately.
**************************************************
Triumph was on the other night and so not funny. I don't think the earlier time slot works for Triumph's sense of humor or just maybe it was an off-night. I actually watched the abortion that is The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien just to see Triumph. I was truly disappointed, I expected him to bring the funny ... he didn't.
These network fuckers should have hired me. I predicted this changing of Leno to Conan would be an unmitigated disaster.
Simple, give Leno back his Tonight Show, give Conan back his show after Leno and kick Jimmy Fallon to the curb. I miss the masterbating bear.
Edited to add: Jimmy Kimmel has the funniest opening of all three, only wish he was on earlier.
Leno needs to go. Conan should stay.

Conan will never be fired...this is just NBC bangin' the drums to make it LOOK like he'll be fired to make Jay look good JUST ONE LAST time, before they drop the ax on HIM!

TEAM FERGUSON FTW!
Craig is definitely underrated and became what Conan was for me in the 90's, even while sharing the same spot, now, now it's up to NBC on how far are they going to screw Conan.
Leno needs to retire.
Late night talk shows need to retire, period.
Noone in the world even know who the fuck both of them are
so why should I even care? Craig Ferguson on the other hand is VERY very underrated
not even gana talk about Jimmy Fellon! All the stories I heard about him he just another stoner who haddlesack his way around studio ;& <<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>
This is so Barf!

According to the latest update at TMZ.com, Leno's in and Conan's who-knows-where.

It seems like Conan was just set up to fail. Jay is a known workaholic and did not want to give up his spot. So there was bad vibes (edited spelling) to begin with with this whole things. I like Conan although I agree he was better a few years ago, but I think they are keeping a tighter leash in this new time slot.
Well NBC better not forget Conan has tons of fans and if they axe him, another network will pick him up and they will follow.
I watch Letterman anyway, but to hell with NBC for shoving all those Law & Order shows into a 9pm time slot.
They blew millions on this experiment. Now they will probably blame someone to fire over it.
Conan still does In the Year 3000 (saw it the other night) and it looks like they're moving Andy back to the couch which is kinda cool to see. At this point I'm not even the most angry over NBC's decision, it's moreso just plain fucking rude on Leno's part. Fuck over Letterman and now Conan? The man clearly has no goddamn compassion.
personally, i can't stand leno. he's tries too hard to mr. middle-white-bread-america. ugh.

Jay Leno is corny and hokey as latch hooked 'Home Sweet Home' sign. I do not get his appeal at all.
I think the people who laugh at his schtick laughed out loud at the wild and wacky shenanigans on 'America's Funniest Home Videos'.
