NBC is making themselves look stupid with all this but in the same sentence Leno could have easily said no to all this and saved Conan the humiliation, but Leno doesn't care about him just like he didn't care about Letterman. He is selfish and should take a page from Coco, Conan said he wouldn't move to the 12:05 time slot because he didn't want to do that to Jimmy Fallon, something Leno should have done to back Conan. All of Jay Leno's material is from viewer submissions, audience participation, and people interviews. Jay Leno is a GLORIFIED PRESENTER. Unoriginal and bland to me personally, how many other comics have used the "dumbest people/criminals" routine. Conan Obrien seemed to come up with ridiculous but creative ideas but to some they didn't like it because he was different as was he comedic style. There was a great article posted about this <a href="http://digg.com/d31Fklc" rel="nofollow"> here</a> The comedy world has turned on Jay Leno because he is selfish. He now screwed over a second person for the Tonight Show. David Letterman is still bitter about this, and I am sure Leno will make Conan's career better than ever after his rebound. The "Jay Leno Show" was terrible. He cost NBC "lead-in" viewers at the expense of the Tonight Show. Leno should do us all a favor and RETIRE and for that fact stay retired. He is comedy of THE PAST. Talk to most young people (me excluded of course because my old balls) and the majority enjoy Conan. Leno will be his typical calm boring self which doesn't interest. I don't ever remember seeing stars act the way they did on Late Night like they would on the Tonight Show. David Duchoveny and Will Ferrell above prove my point...fact is I don't want to see a "talk show", I want to see comedy and that's exactly what Conan brings.

My opinion on this matter...As a huge fan of both Leno and Conan, I was sad to see Leno depart from Late Night after his contract had expired, and very glad he got his own show a bit earlier. If I remember correctly I believe 5 years ago Leno and NBC came to an agreement that Leno would retire, whether that was forced on Jay by NBC or a decision of his own its a mystery in my view, this leading the way for Conan to be the next great late show host. As Jay said on his final show..."I'm glad to say that when I took over the Late Show we were ranked #1, and today we are ranked #1". All of the pieces Conan has are awesome, I can solely attribute my first drop out of school to Leno and Conan as I couldn't get enough and had to watch both, causing extreme fatigue. Anyways...my point...Both Leno an Conan are great. The glory days of NBC late night (in my opinion) were the Leno, Conan days in that order, without a News break. Jimmy Fallon, and Carson Daly are horrendus, brutal. I'm more rattled at NBC for not canning those 2 turds, giving Conan his spot back, moving Jay back to his spot and bringing in someone who actually is funny. Fallon and Daly suck. Yes...something can be said for Conan and his ability to meet with a younger, hipper audience...but something has to be said for the respect, and interviewing style Jay brings to the table, pieces like Jaywalking, Headlines, Americas dumbest criminals, etc are also top notch and nothing should be taken away from Leno either. In my mind, both Carson and Leno approach Late Night TV differently then Conan. Much more respectful to their guests, and a better relationship with many. Conan is awesome, don't get me wrong, I love the guy, the hair cut, the Simpsons, I thought his show would be better...I thought he would bring the element of respect the others have...but his late night show is exactly the same as his old time slot. The results speak for themselves. When Leno left NBC was #1 for Late Night...currently they are not...my proposal??? Can Fallon, Can Daly, get the Rick Mercer Report in Lenos current time slot, and give the late late show(currently filled by Daly) to a hip, pop culture icon...frig. Give it to The Hills Justin Bobby, or Brody Jenner. Even someone like Charles Barkley...anyone...just get those 2 turds off the air, and make the Conan and Leno saga continue... Great post Walks.
