LRG Posted January 29, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2010 Jay Leno needs to retire already. I don't hate him or anything but he's getting old, and needs to give up the comedic business already. He's been in the industry for decades, I really think it's just time for him to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is Jay Leno's 1st major TV apperence on the classic 1970's era sitcom "Good Times' with Jimmie "JJ" walker circa 1975 at a clinic for people with std's. Leno has a short cameo. Watch especially from around the 4:00 mark onwards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhxZdoRvahM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted January 29, 2010 Share #9 Posted January 29, 2010 Jay> Conan Jay is a lot funnier than Conan. Conan should've never been promised the Tonight Show. He's crying even though he got a generous severance package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense but if i was Conan the hell with hosting the Tonight Show give me the $40 Million plus buyout and personally I am partying until his new gig probably with Fox TV this Fall. And annunal salary of as high as $20 Million on his next job as well. The honor of being the "Tonight Show host" IMO died out when Johnny Carson retired in 1992.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's crying even though he got a generous severance package. Conans job was taking away from him for a big F'up @ NBC. Yea he should be crying, What do you mean "conan should have never been promised the tonght show?" Why not because Jay Leno is such an douchbag that no one could have the tonght show but him? This is big business and alot of money involved. You damn right conan walked away with money, and he's entitled to every penny. Mr negative.

Dan i think what i think Mr Wilson was saying is that Conan should have never been promised the 1130pm show because of fact, leno was kicking the butt of Letterman in the ratings and was #1 late night talk show host for about 15 years. And the short 6 months O Brien had the 1130pm gig, Letterman beat NBC for first time since the first year Dave had his own CBS show on CBS in 1993.

Does that make sense?like I said NBC f'd up I can't argue with that statement and you right Dan. I put 95% of the blame of this disater on NBC exces like Jeff Zucker and his staff.

Shortline Bus Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share #15 Posted January 29, 2010 I also agree with Forest Glen, if they like Leno so much to stay and host at 1130pm they should have just let Conan 'free agent' and go to another station. Chances Leno would still beat Conan at either Fox or ABC. NBC exces are imo idiots in trying to switch the 10pm slot as most people either want to watch a drama, reality show or newsmagazine show like 'Dateline or 20/20' at that hour. They were trying to save $$$ because they had flops and nothing to replace a classic show like "Law & Order." 10pm is too early for a 'late night talk show.'

My fav nbc show l&o svu is suffering because of this with lame ass shows because they air it @ 9pm now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share #18 Posted January 30, 2010 I am surprised how many people are blaming Jay Leno. IMO almost of the blame goes to NBC exces. Leno should never agreed to have Conan take over if he did not want to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted January 30, 2010 Share #19 Posted January 30, 2010 I agree, Leno is just the pawn here. NBC is to blame because they didn't want Leno to go to like Fox or whatever and compete against Conan. But Conan's best stuff was for the later at night crowd and when he was in NYC. Conan should move back to NYC if he goes to Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayBuffer Posted January 30, 2010 Share #20 Posted January 30, 2010 I like what Craig Ferguson said, that the Tonight Show ended years ago when Johnny Carson left. It's kind of true, if you've ever old episodes of the Tonight Show from that era (pre-Jay), it's a different type of humor and a different type of show. Conan never should have been put in that time slot to begin with, he was much more suited for 12:30. Of course, that's not his fault, but just saying. And Jay should have stuck to what he agreed to in the first place or left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
