Leno sucks. He had two months to write 10 jokes for his return monologue and they all bombed. He's like a cartoon character at this point. Dave is going to destroy him. At least Letterman can deliver jokes.

Though I much prefer Letterman and even Conan, I don't think that Leno is THAT bad. I mean, at least he comes off as a nice guy.
...then you read how cut throat he is behind closed doors and you realize that's just an act.
I don't think so. I've seen that film "The Late Shift" that chronicled the whole Letterman/Leno thing in the early 90's and Leno comes off in it as goal-driven.....but not a dick. It's his manager that comes off as a dick in the film.

leno had her be the bad guy so he could be the "nice guy"...same as now except it's nbc being the bad guy (although nbc is mostly to blame for this mess)
leno is driven and gets what he wants...which is fine...but the public "new guy" persona is bullshit

Yeah I think that this thing with Conan is all NBC's fault. The only reason they offered him the Tonight Show was to keep him from leaving. Well that's fine except Leno has always gotten great ratings. Once Conan started getting beat by Letterman, they pulled the plug on him. People who try to blame Leno for his bad ratings at 10pm are in the wrong because no "variety show" would work there and the only reason they put him there was to keep HIM from leaving. So in trying to keep both Leno and Conan, they have screwed both of them.
I'm already enjoying an Ambien slumber by the time Leno and Letterman come on, but seriously, Leno isn't funny? That's a pretty bold statement to make seeing how millions upon millions of people disagree with it.
Granted, these are the same fucks that buy Britney Spears and Akon records (either for themselves or one of their 5 kids) but still...
The only thing I can suggest is to keep your eyes on the news channels to stay connected to Big Ben's Superbowl Rape Tour coming to a city near you to keep you entertained. And no, I don't think he's guilty.....again.

true...however, there was an easy way to solve all of this...when nbc canceled the 10pm show, jay should have moved on and refused to go back to 11:35...it was conan's show and nbc didn't give it nearly enough time to establish itself...jay did not need to go back...he has more than enough money and he already does almost 300 standup gigs a year so it wasn't like he was gonna go play golf and fall into obscurity...if leno had any class, he would have stepped aside and let conan make the tonight show his own...leno's ratings when he first started weren't all flowers and sunshine

yea it took Leno I think 2 years to be #1. And that's when he had shows with 25-30million viewers leading in. And not the 5-6 million that Conan got.
