After all that Jay Leno is taking back the TONIGHT SHOW throne!  

It's just my opinion but what were they thinking when they thought the comedic stylings of Conan Obrien could top Jay Leno. Conan Obrien isnt that funny. If you watch him he spends half the time making fun of himself to get laughs. All his bits are acting. Jay Leno is just naturally funny. Im sorry Jay Leno is the only one who can fill Johnny Carsons seat. The reason I think it didnt work in prime time was that people are usually getting ready for bed. Putting the kids to bed. Finishing up their work so that they'll be ready to watch Leno after the news. Who knows it could be for publicity. I dont think so though. According to the article Leno had 7 million viewers. When Conan took over he only had 2 million. They lost some money. That's no publicity stunt. dl

Please Whiteheather dont apologize. I appreciate the correction. All I remember is as far back as Johnny so I thank you. I feel bad for Conan too. However, i'm with you his comedy isnt for everyone. He isnt always funny. Whereas Jay Leno just has a natural comedic ability. If you watch Conan as I have said before, he spends most of the time dumping on himself or doing that weird thing he does about the front of his hair. Always shaking it until he is redfaced to show how much hairspray they've used. Stupid. Jay Leno is the one who belongs there. SORRY CONAN. Thanks again for correcting me. dl

Thank YOU for being so nice about it as some people have a hissy fit if you try to correct them.

Im glad I could help 3snuggle! They didnt mention anything about what Conan would be doing next. They did say we would hear more from Conan. Conan has a lot of behind the scenes success as well. Besides they said that NBC gave him $45 million dollar buy out. Thirty three million for him and the rest was severance for his staff. I thought that was way cool. He can do nothing if he wanted to. As for Jimmy Kimmel, I will say this, he is funnier than Conan. dl

Couldnt agree more Lelin! The whole thing was one big waste of time. I feel the exact same way you do. It basically was done for nothing more than to lose ratings and money. You cant tell me noone could see that it was a big mistake. NBC cant be that stupid. I think they did it because Jay wanted to see if he could do primetime. I think that he didnt succeed because people are usually getting themselves or their children ready for bed. Gettin finished with any work they had. Its like a routine, Kids to bed, shower,News then Leno. when he came on early people didnt have the time to watch cause they were doing other things. It messed up everyones nightly routine. Anyways Conans walking a way with a great deal of money so Im sure he's not that upset that he just got $33 million not to work. If only someone would do that to me. lol Happy MyLotting my friend dl

I have to clarify something The executives approached Jay Leno about 5 years ago with this idea. Jay's reply was why would you want to do that when I'm number 1. If I become number 2 ok. They said no to Jay and said they were still going to do this in 5 years. So it really had nothing to do with Jay wanting this at all it was all the NBC Executives. He made this statement on his show a few days ago.

You are very welcome my friend! You deserved it! I feel as if I was saying it. I know exactly how you felt. To me it was a big waste of time. dl

Ps. Was is NOD? lol

Me too Lakota! Me too... I thought Jay made the tonight show his... Welcome back Mr. Leno!! dl

yeah!!!!!

I do feel bad for Conan too. The fact that he has been offered money to leave. Also the fact that the old host is coming back to revive the bad ratings that Conan has brought about. It does seem sad. He also has to leave all his jokes, material, and characters he created behind. On the positive they are paying him $33 million just for himself and $12 million for his staff for severance. It was nice of Conan to think for his staff as well in this trying time for him. I have a feeling he bounce back. Before he did any type of on the air stuff he did alot of behind the scene stuff such as the Simpsons and Saturday Night Live. He will find his place in the world of comedy I am sure. If not he can live quite comfortably while figuring out his next move. dl
