Jay Leno Should Retire So Conan Doesn't Walk

Jay Leno Should Retire So Conan O'brien Doesn't Walk.. Leno has had his time, let coco have his.

I loved last night when Conan said, "Kids, you can do anything you want to do, unless of course Jay Leno wants to do it too"

 

[izatt82]

nah let conan walk. jay leno keeps his time and Jimmy Fallon moves up would be a much better move IMO

 

[kjung]

Leno should retire simply because he just isn't funny.

I don't watch any of these guys. There is still better stuff on cable if you search hard enough and don't mind being edumacated a little.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Conan can't leave. Hairspray sales would plummet, markets would crash, Ozone would regenerate. It'd be chaos.

And it might actually make a space for something worth watching.

NBC is in love with Leno. This will be the second former Late Night host they have alienated in favor of Leno. Conan and Dave should join forces to create a Leno/NBC killing machine.

 

[OMJ]

I dont watch either cause leno isnt funny and I get up too early to stay up for Conan. But I agree that Leno needs to let it go cause Conan is way better

 

[kjung]

I don't watch any of them. I'd rather watch reruns of "Two and A Half Men" after the news.

Jimmy Fallon is not funny. It makes me mad watching him. Leno needs to retire. Conan just needs more time to get his ratings up like Leno had.

Hopefully they'll both leave so it'll cause a nice financial blow to Comcast (who bought out NBC).

Anything to hurt Comcast is OK in my book.

The Hitler clip is an internet meme that’s been going around. People just change the subtitles for whatever, they’re pretty good. This one is of Hitler’s reaction to hearing about the change in NBC’s late night lineup. Pretty funny.

Jimmy Fallon has never been funny, ever. How he gets paid to be funny remains a mystery to me.

I cannot believe Jay Leno has enough clout to get both Dave Letterman and Conan kicked out of their rightful jobs. He must have given some pretty good blow jobs in his time at NBC.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

NBC continues the fail wreck they have become IMO. This will destroy the franchise of Late Night. Everyone was ready for Leno to leave... which is why his prime time show failed.

I know, lets bring him back and alienate a huge amount of our viewership! That'll win 'em over!

idiots....

Jay Leno is a smarmy ****** bag that has long outlived his usefulness. I can't say Conan is any better but at least he doesn't strike me as a pedophile. The should fire all of them and get some decent, mainstream talent.

 

[springer]

i could give a rats ass who is doing the tonight show I haven't watched it since johnny Carson left. Don't think any of them are funny at all.I am already asleep anyways by the time they come on

 

[jgln]

I think Jay is funnier but that is just me. I was sad to see him leave the tonight show but glad he still had a show and I could go to be earlier. Not that his new show was better, but still a show. Conan relies too much on making funny faces to be funny IMO.

But, I think it would be too awkward for Jay to return to the tonight show but that was not the plan I saw. It was just to push the tonight show back 1/2 hour and Conan keeps the tonight show. But IMO a 1/2 Leno show would be silly.

I hate to see him leave but under the circumstances if Jay can't make the show he has work he should retire. Now remember, this is what the network is suggesting not Jay, Conan or any of them.

 

[olllllo]

Favre. That is all.

 

[TxBrew]

Looks like Coco is done. Too bad. I will miss him. A choice between David and Leno, I will just opt to read.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

45 Million I heard they offered him to walk. Sucks to be him I guess.

Also heard he bought "Conan on Fox".

I read he is giving about 10M of it to supplimnet what his staff is getting from the network severance package AND it sounds like he will have another show and probably rehire his staff. Maybe not so bad off as it looks.

 

[Bdogg]

If you love Conan so much you should've tuned in. Just a bunch of bandwagon BS if you ask me.

 

[Julohan]

Goodbye Conan, Goodbye Leno, Hello Carson Daly. Just kidding he is the the worst or second worst talk show host I have ever seen. The other person that i am thinking about is Adam Carolla.

 

[dataz722]

I would prefer Adam Carolla over letterman any day.

 

[Homercidal]

Sorry to say that if the choice was Family or any of these talk shows, You know which one I'm choosing!

Giggity Giggity

Allright!

 

[jds]

I'd thought Conan was a breath of fresh air compared to Leno, well before last week. Jay just comes across to me as a giant *********.

Incidentally, having Robin Williams on last night was a great move. I'll watch Conan's last show tonight for sure.

 

[jgln]

I have been reading some news on this and I think what everyone needs to remember is the decision for all of these changes are of the network based on ratings. Conan rejected their new plan and Jay accepted what he was offered. The network was not going to keep Conan where he was. Maybe they didn't give him enough time but that was their decision. If anything people should be upset with the network executives not Jay Leno. I do not see it his fault this played out like it did.

Leno Sucks At Life!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[motobrewer]

Favre. That is all.

While I love this comment, it does bring up the point that Jay Leno never wanted to retire, and that some people miss a key point to this story:

NBC and Conan signed a deal back in 2004 that Conan would take over in 2009 weather Leno wanted to retire or not.

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

Leno is Farve...Leno will never leave NBC. Just like Brett will never leave the NFL.
