Didn't see it here in this forum yet so thought I would post it.

NEIL YOUNG!!


yep, NEIL YOUNG!!

Tom Hanks and Will Farrell will appear too.

Farewell Conan.


Leno is a douche.

lukin2006

Why is Leno a douche, he got ratings Conan didn't, If they gave Leno the same deal as Conan and would be allowed back on the air in 6 months, then likely Leno would have left. Leno never volunteered to leave, he was forced into. This why NBC is a mess.

mydogmookieblaylock

you're right - he isnt a douche ...... but he still sucks! He isnt funny.

PJPixie

My opinion is he's a douche. We all have opinions. That's all.

chiquimonkey

leno's a douche for simply not being funny

and very cool about neil, was hoping maybe PJ would come out and play him out as they had played him in. maybe they'll show up!

Hammerdonkey

To be honest, most tv based late night comedy isn't funny at all.

Family Guy is funnier than all 3 of these shows....and it's a cartoon.

Come to think of it, my left ball is funnier than most of the content in those shows. That's just a fucking fact.

Will Conan finally be funny on Friday? Or will he continue to be the biggest dork on tv. Tune in @ 11:35 to find out.

Humor is all relative. I've never found Family Guy to be funny. I do crack up at South Park and old Simpsons episodes. It's weird because all my friends like the same shows as me, except I don't think Family Guy is very funny.

evenflow82

family guy is horrible.

Hammerdonkey

Family Guy is funny. To argue otherwise is like saying Michael Jordan's dick isn't made of chocolate rainbows and black unicorns.

In summation, suck my balls.

People can call Leno names all they want, he handed over a number 1 rated show, it fell to 3rd with Conan and even lost to Dave's reruns. Plus he asked for the show or he was going to another network, they gave him the show. If you demand something, you better make it work, it didn't work. Now you can all watch him on Fox at 11 in September.

ummm, yeah its more involved than that friend.

For one, letterman most likely felt and probably still feels that leno STOLE HIS spot, when Leno took over for carson, rather than Letterman taking over for carson. Carson himself, took sides, and through the years, all the way until his death would give letterman material, jokes, skits, whatever, and never did the same for leno. Its quite clear, Letterman wanted the carson gig more than anything, and then leno just took it from him.

Then it appears leno is doing it again.

the thing that ticks me off about your post and lenos statements about this mess is that he plays this innocent victim card. Leno was doing the tonight show for 11 years or whatever, having stolen it from letterman, let me remind you. Conan, whether you or I think so, is the current face of late night tv, whatever that is worth in todays climate. Conan moved his wife and kids, and his staff to la, literally across the country, then leno and nbc pull this punk move. Zucker, seems the epitome of corporate greed.

He's a douche for agreeing to NBC and their fucked up ways. He could have just walked away.

if everyone loves conan so much, why did his ratings stink

nobody wants to talk about that. it's all leno leno leno.

You're right and I agree, I'm afraid it's a cut throat business. Apparantly Leno understands this, it's also a performance based business, Leno understands this as well and so does Dave, why do you thionk Dave wants Conan opposite him, could it have anything to do with the fact for the first time in 14 years his show is number 1. Like I said earlier, if they let Leno on the air in 6 months or so he would have likely left, NBC wouldn't let him out of his contract.

Anybody who is in that business has to accept the facts that someone can and will push you out of the way if it suits them, thats life in the entertainment business.

I'll talk about it. Thats what it's all about in that business. Leno had 2 million more viewers a night than Conan. If Tom Hanks had a show on TV and the ratings sucked, he'd be yanked. I don't understand why people don't see that. It's not like people didn't know who Conan was, he's been on TV for 17 years or so. I think people who watch TV after the news just didn't relate to Conan.

lukin2006

As far as Conan moving across country with his staff, thats life. I'm sure there are thousands of people who move every year for what appear to be good opportunities and it doesn't work out, thats life.

it's because leno was a horrible lead in.

if viewers didn't agree with leno's program, then they weren't going to bother watching conan.

if you don't believe me, watch anything conan has done within the past two weeks. it's hilarious. really great stuff.

I find it interesting, just how many people take this Conan, Leno, Letterman soap opera so serious. I really do.

And dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being passionate about something or someone that entertains you and makes you smile. Or being passionate about something or a show that just helps you relax and forget about everyday life for an hour or so.

I just dont watch late night television. I havent in YEARS. I have watched maybe a combined 3 hours of Letterman, Conan, and Leno, in the last 5 years.

But I guess I understand it a little....
I was truly bummed when Johnny Carson retired....Truly Bummed.....

But that was JOHNNY CARSON......

These 3 guys just dont belong in the same conversation as Johnny Carson.....IMO

Speedy.. how can you compare to Carson if you've only watched 3 hrs combined?


Carson was funny. Conan is pretty funny too. Leno is lame. I don't find Letterman so funny as I enjoy hearing what he has to say.

Go back a few more years and I can say I watched each show....I dont know.....Maybe a half dozen to a dozen times.......

Letterman was good....I guess......20 years ago????
Leno had his moments...I guess....
Conan too.....

But Johnny Carson??
He had me laughing and wanting more....EACH AND EVERY NIGHT....Period!!
Johnny was a class act...

chiquimonkey

well nobody can compare to johnny, i remember being so sad when he left, and even sadder when he passed. grew up watching him (my parents never gave me a bedtime so i was the only kid in class who knew about carnac lol)

but conan's awesome, and while i can't stay up to watch the late shows as much, when i have, he makes me laugh the most out of all of 'em

Before cable TV...
Before we had 151 channels to choose from......

America had Johnny Carson for 1-2 hours....Each and every night...

And I guess, as far as late night television goes.....
As the years pass...
We realize just how fortunate we were......
