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

    It has been talked about in the other thread.

    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.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    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
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    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...

    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......

    I have often wondered.....

    If NBC....Instead of Leno/Conan/Letterman/Fallon......

    If NBC ran reruns of Carson for 2 months....
    Just Carson, 5 nights a week, for 2 months........

    What type of ratings would it get????

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

    those stations lost rating due to leno. and leno was given more than 7 months to get better ratings. when letterman was beating him. leno also also had shows with better ratings over the years. like friends, er, will & grace and so on. shows that used to get 20-30 million viewers. conan's lead-in's which was leno was 5 million. and the 12:30am audience is different for the most part than the 11:30pm one. conan was in fact doing well in the 18-34 crowd even before this all started.

    What's NBC going to do if Leno's ratings are shit for the next 7 months? His primetime show was a complete bust.

    he'll probably get the same ratings he had before. because people are used to him. and he's simple.

    i think it might take awhile to get his ratings back, since he has destroyed NBC's late primetime ratings. he's not gonna have a strong lead in for awhile.

    Conan was hilarious last night. He has been on fire the past couple weeks since all this shti with NBC came out. Robin Williams does resemble a crackhead. He's fucking nuts!
