Leno Replaces Conan on Tonight Show...

Exactly.

I see where you're going with this point, but that would be totally awesome. I'd watch that every night. "Hney look! It's the Tranny Hitler Ass Pepper show!" I mean, how could that not be entertaining?

usually dreadful....

YES I AM A CRANK

OTM.

what does this mean?

It means that NBC still doesn't realize that the small size of the Conan audience will kill Tonight

the LA Times article that MSNBC one references, which sheds way more light on the situation:

haha, I went to a Conan taping in college a few years ago. Of course, there were a lot of tourists, especially from 666 Middle America 666. So Conan's doing his antics with one of the audience members, this big old lumbering guy you'd think was from like ... Illinois or something. Basically, Jay Leno's audience.

So Conan's gets up and starts dancing with the guy, and the guy realllllly reluctantly goes along. and then Conan gives him Max's drumsticks.

On the elevator after the taping, we're on there with that guy and he says to his family, "man, just when I thought I was gettin over my homerphobia" and then "and here I got those Mick Windberg fellas drumsticks." We get off the elevator and he throws them in the garbage.

I'm not sure how well Conan will do in Leno's slotttttttt. He shoulda just stayed really weird instead of trying to bridge the gap to blandsville, baby.

Leno doesn't get a Massachusetts priest stalking him...

This story seemed to debut not too long ago...and 2009 seemed so far away.

haw haw, Conan's playing second fiddle to Leno again.

A show like this in the 10pm hour is actually a good idea. I just wish it was someone besides Jay Leno.

Who are the people who actually like Jay Leno? Whooooo arrrrrre theeeese people?

How much of the 'too lazy to turn off the tv before they go to sleep' viewership share will he lose with the move?

uggggg make him go away

I just remembered this and was glad someone on Youtube had it: SHOOOOOOOOESSSSS!

i watched jay tonight after yearsssss and he wasn't as bad as i remembered. conan otoh has been pretty shitty for a while now. he can be funny when he is outside of the late show format (uncensored). a tonight show thingy will be v. iuntersting to witness, because he kind of hates people. so so interesting. i'll sure be taking notes, don't know about anyone else.

lol probably about the same way i look whenever a person i know recites a Chris Rock routine irl

Conan will film on the Warner lot

We should probably make the Conan on TBS anticipation thread sometime.

This was only fun when there was frantic hair-pulling and eye-gouging between Conan, Leno and the NBC execs.

I'm still looking forward to the show. Stewart and Colbert both repeat about 4 times per day, so I can catch them after the fact.

Roffle:

Big news on the late night TV battlefront today: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno posted its lowest-rated Q2 -- the first full quarter since Leno came back as host after Conan O'Brien was dumped -- since the Late Show with David Letterman launched on CBS in 1993.

ned, you have made me happy by posting that.

JAY "BIG JAW" LENO HAS DESTROYED THE TONIGHT-SHOW FRANCHISE

Read a review of Conan's live show somewhere and they said he mostly just made jokes about the controversy for most of the time. Is this true? Sounds like it would get old fast.

it's funny. i saw a "tweet" from o'brien the other day, riffing on the controversy, and it fell flat for me.

but he's a funny -- and, here's the key -- inventive guy. he'll find new material. also: bitterness can be a great springboard for comedy.

I don't care where LeBron James ends up... As long as it's not at 11pm on TBS.
