The ratings have never mattered and are never going to matter. If we want to talk about numbers, Letterman makes boatloads more dough than Leno; but that's niether here nor there.
Letterman is the king. Jay's (an asshole) good enough. Conan's on his way to a better gig. This whole thing worked out great.
dick ebersol!? jesus christ, what a jew-loving moron... what a fitting name to describe his personality. Can't believe this guy is sticking up for that idiot, jeff zucker and his golem jay leno.
Go get them Dave make fun of all of them Jay Leno is not worth watching anyways David Letterman rules I am glad NBC does not know what the hell they are doing anyways Jay Leno is a yes sir man, Yes sir to anything NBC wants they try to do that shit to David he does not take there shit he left and went straight to CBS and he showed them. David Letterman Rules man...lol
@greg94327 LOL then how did youtube ever get started then DIPSHIT? Youtube is nothing like it used to be and will soon be replaced and I cant wait. I hate commercials and advertising so excuse me if im not some fucking drone like you airhead.
@Soar56 Especially since we're not going to buy those things any more than we would've before seeing (make that: waiting for the end of) the commercial.
The fact is there is a new generation of viewers. It is time for a change. Jay Leno is simply NOT FUNNY AT ALL...AT ALL!! to your average-aged viewer today. That was why they moved him to an earlier spot - for the old people who DO find his brand of mediocre comedy funny (?) Conan was/is the next generation, but unfortunately the network is run by old men who have no idea what's funny today - just like Jay Leno. (no offense to old people, my dad's one!)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
All you Leno haters are ridiculous. Conan wasn't screwed, he FAILED. He had the Tonight Show 2 months BEFORE Jay started at 10 pm, so the "Jay was a bad lead in" crap doesn't fly. He lost almost half the audience, and, unlike Leno, people actually knew who Conan was, since he was on after Leno for almost 20 years. Jay is NOT the bad guy, he didn't fire anyone. NBC fired Conan, and they should have.
@yragcom1 Wow. If you were old enough to remember it you would know that Leno had been guest hosting the tonight show for years when he tool over. At the end Carson was working one night a week. No one fired Conan. Conan refused to destroy the tonight show, something Leno is happy to do.
I am old enough to remember that, and Leno wasn't the only host. Brennan, Rivers, Rich Little, etc. Changing the time of the Tonight Show would not have made it any different than when it it changed when
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Changing the Tonight Show time wouldn't have made a difference, regardless of what Conan said. Johnny used to go 90 minutes until 1:00 am anyway. And who is Conan to dictate the history of the Tonight Show anyway? It's NBC's show, not his. And therein lies the problem. If you listen close to Conan's goodbye speech, he was given recommendations that he ignored. Conan blew it all by himself.
He should have stepped out of late night TV to leave the slate clean for Conan.
When the ratings were down and they cancelled his show and NBC wanted to put him back on the Tonight Show he should have said, "No, I won't screw over Conan"
Despite Jay project a persona of innocence...it's kind of hard to believe considering the fact that he screwed over Letterman when Carson left and he is screwing over Conan now
Yeah, never said the movie was good...thought it was interesting, but it;s always, like most films, one point of view. I think Dave was more hurt that he waited for this gig, and Jay walked in and managed to convinced the heads at NBC to pick him....or his agent did at least. Like I said, it's just crazy how things just repeat themselves like this....not exact, but pretty close.
I wonder how the media will react when he returns to the Tonight Show, especially after Conan's heartfelt farewell.
Letterman definitely isn't chicken-hearted or gutless, and he's very talented...but I always thought that his brand of sarcastic and condescending humor just doesn't bring in audiences the same way Carson could. Carson seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Leno and Conan do that better, but Leno does seem a bit too nice sometimes, as if he's hiding something.
Dave has no grudge folks and has given no evidence to the contrary. But what he does have is a little more insight then any of us on how the people involved carry themselves.
Illuminati=ET kin aka gods, Annunaki, Ea, dragons, angels/demons, Satan, Pepsi, naga, vampires, bluebloods, Al Gore, Windsors, Rothschilds, Rockefellars etc who rule cults like Freemasonry. Their agenda: repeatedly cull/victimize people via vaccines/other poisons, carbon taxes, Codex Alimentarius, internet 2, WW3 then stage an alien invasion to get a fascist world government/religion with us chipped. Support Dr Deagle, Stewart Swerdlow, Oracle Broadcasting, gardeners and free-energy technology!
Thing is, I know Dave has some grudge, but then again, him and Jay used to be great friends back on NBC, until Jay's agent convinced him to take the job when Leno wasn't really planning on taking it. He chose the show over friendship. She got into the picture and caused a lot of stuff to happen. That's a reason why Jay has no agent, because of what his old agent pulled. They revealed this in the Late Shift movie.
All in all, it's just pure craziness. Besides, everyone's joking about it. :)
I know I'll probably get some negative ponts here, but what the heck...
Why not they both say "screw the networks" and start podcasting... Together.
I'd subscribe.
The problem with the contracts, is that the networks OWN them. Even if Jay quit, he would have to wait several months before he could do anything with another network.
Now NBC owns him for 2 more years. I bet he's kicking himself for not walking the last time. Hindsight is 20/20. I know, it's just speculation.
Yeah too bad under his watchful eye, NBC is in the red by a couple hundred million dollars for the Winter Olympics... not to mention that he nearly destroyed SNL in the 80s.
BRAVO, BRAVO that last joke was marvelous. Yes it's entertainment, Leno never restrained himself to make jokes about current events if they were political or in the entertainment industry so why should Mr Letterman not make just jokes about what's going on in entertainment. By I do wonder is there a chick from his staff under the desk when he has that big smile at the end. :3
Jay didnt get to leave on his terms, NBC wanted to have it's cake and eat it too, so they move him to 10p, Conan takes over The Tonight Show. NBC sees Leno tanking, uses a bs clause in Conan's deal to force his hand, Conan leaves, Jay's back, and Jeff Zucker is an absolute moron!!!!
jay could have still said no to the move back to 11:35 cause it was conan's show now...leno is a piece of garbage and i hope letterman kills him in the ratings..cant wait till conan is back on the air in another network
Dick Ebersol has always been just what his first name says. I've never thought he was a tactful guy. I hope NBC's late night stuff tanks and burns... Viva Coco and Dave!
"It's just fun." Awesome. I'm watching Letterman on March 1st. Screw Leno and NBC. Leno is the chicken-hearted and gutless. All he had to do was walk away.
Message from France to those dickheads from CBS. Give us Dave on France's Free (internet provider) TV chainnels! After Conan leaves NBC, what shell I look now on CNBC when I don't have CBS to watch one and only Dave? Greatings for Dave from capital of the Europe, Strasbourg.
Leno screwed Johnny, Dave ,Rosie, and now Conan. It would be very easy for Leno , to say no to the Tonight Show, but he will always be a lying back stabber
Conan needs to go to a network that actually has viewers. Fox! NBC, ABC and CBS are dinosaurs. Hell, Give Conan a show on Fox Business Network and he will still beat PMSBC primetime.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dave, I love you but I love Jay more. I am sick of your sour grapes. The Tonight Show was never promised to you when Johnny Carson retired--you just thought your name was on it because Carson favored you. Did you really expect Jay to say "No thanks, give it to Dave?" It was Jay's big break. Get over it, Dave. MOVE ON! Jay Leno is a decent guy who does shows for charity across the USA every year (he was in B.R., La. in 08 for a local hospital). Long live The Tonight Show WITH Jay Leno!
The NBC executive, Dick Ebersol, that Dave is talking about is on The Colbert Report right now. He just got Colbert to wear the NBC shirt to the olympics. I'm really pissed Colbert is siding with the NBC executives. Will they get him to replace Conan????????????!
@zapstrung he's telling leno jokes relentlessly because leno stole the tonight show spot when letterman was up for it after carson. now that jay stole the tonight show again, i guess it brought back some memories
@recompa2 you're right. as moral compass for the nation, you're going to have to click on videos you clearly have no interest in watching and then inform the masses that you've deemed the person unemployable because they aren't perfect robots. lets clean up TV until all we have is dora the explorer to watch!
Nah, whenever David retires, David should give his show to Conan, unless Craig Ferguson is supposed to get it. Which I wonder because Craig is pretty edgy and does well in that 12:30 time slot.
@bobolob i think craig's show fits very well in a later time slot. iit gives him a lot of freedom and craig ends up taking some great risks with that freedom.
Yea. I think Conan would have been fine at the 11:30 slot had he been given more time and had he had better lead ins that stupid Jay Leno Show and that's why it would be interested if Conan was ever to replace Dave on CBS. Jay had the ER juggernaut and other great NBC programming in the 90s that helped him achieve his number 1 status. Which helped the Today show be successful too. Conan has had none of that support.
Letterman hasn't made a comment in 18 years,,,,,,that sound jealous.....Letterman was the only talk show to put Jay on with his TV Guide bit for years.....did you know that? Carson wouldn't
He did do the righteous thing in Leno's position...Back after Leno was originally given The Tonight Show network brass at NBC was getting a bit on edge about the ratings and basically offered Letterman the show after all. Letterman talked to Johnny Carson on the phone, by all accounts, and decided he'd look like too much of a prick in the public's eye if he threw Leno under a buss and stole the show from him. Instead he moved to CBS.
@switchbuckle I agree with you. They were actually going to have Dave wait until Jay's contract ran out and have him step up to the plate. Jay never said thank you and it just show how sleezy NBC and Jay really are. Dave didn't think he should have to wait and bolted as soon as he could, which he works in a much better place now and has a much more loyal audience and is loyal to his network and audience, maybe not his wife, but that's a different story. I'm sure Carson had some indiscretions too
Letterman's just a pile on scumbag. O'Brien doesn't really give a shit about his staff. Leno fooled me for a long time but he has a petty, cold, heart of stone. All you people hold one or the other in some kind of reverence. Get in touch with how your own needs are driving it---these three are pure scumbags at heart.
I would guess I know them on the same basis as every other pedestrian who would venture an opinion here. My judgement isn't air tight, I can only form one based on the evidence at hand. Let's agree that my conclusions are likely to be only slightly more or less accurate than anyone else who weighs in. Would you (a) like to call everyone else to task or (b) ask that the opinion page be left blank because no one of us really "knows" them?
True that. I think more and more I'm going to abandon commercial tv, program everything I watch, use videos, DVDs. It's really sad and embarrasing to get caught up in this. Any positive traditions from network tv are just nostalgia, things for museums. At least I could say, "I knew when..."

Jay didnt get to leave on his terms, NBC wanted to have it's cake and eat it too, so they move him to 10p, Conan takes over The Tonight Show. NBC sees Leno tanking, uses a bs clause in Conan's deal to force his hand, Conan leaves, Jay's back, and Jeff Zucker is an absolute moron!!!!

jay could have still said no to the move back to 11:35 cause it was conan's show now...leno is a piece of garbage and i hope letterman kills him in the ratings..cant wait till conan is back on the air in another network

Message from France to those dickheads from CBS. Give us Dave on France's Free (internet provider) TV chainnels! After Conan leaves NBC, what shell I look now on CNBC when I don't have CBS to watch one and only Dave? Greatings for Dave from capital of the Europe, Strasbourg.

Conan needs to go to a network that actually has viewers. Fox! NBC, ABC and CBS are dinosaurs. Hell, Give Conan a show on Fox Business Network and he will still beat PMSBC primetime.

Dave, I love you but I love Jay more. I am sick of your sour grapes. The Tonight Show was never promised to you when Johnny Carson retired--you just thought your name was on it because Carson favored you. Did you really expect Jay to say "No thanks, give it to Dave?" It was Jay's big break. Get over it, Dave. MOVE ON! Jay Leno is a decent guy who does shows for charity across the USA every year (he was in B.R., La. in 08 for a local hospital). Long live The Tonight Show WITH Jay Leno!

RealchatRadio I agree, no matter what Leno rating used to
be, many are lost and more will leave once Leno moves back to 10PM.
I am not sure he will be asked to leave but it might not be
back at his #1 spot.
Look for Conan new show on another network,
competing with Leno and Letterman.

RealchatRadio 2 years ago
Nah, whenever David retires, David should give his show to Conan, unless Craig Ferguson is supposed to get it. Which I wonder because Craig is pretty edgy and does well in that 12:30 time slot.
bobolob 2 years ago
@bobolob i think craig's show fits very well in a later time slot. iit gives him a lot of freedom and craig ends up taking some great risks with that freedom.
tmanxxxx 2 years ago 3
Yea. I think Conan would have been fine at the 11:30 slot had he been given more time and had he had better lead ins that stupid Jay Leno Show and that's why it would be interested if Conan was ever to replace Dave on CBS. Jay had the ER juggernaut and other great NBC programming in the 90s that helped him achieve his number 1 status. Which helped the Today show be successful too. Conan has had none of that support.

kcp77777 2 years ago
He did do the righteous thing in Leno's position...Back after Leno was originally given The Tonight Show network brass at NBC was getting a bit on edge about the ratings and basically offered Letterman the show after all. Letterman talked to Johnny Carson on the phone, by all accounts, and decided he'd look like too much of a prick in the public's eye if he threw Leno under a buss and stole the show from him. Instead he moved to CBS.
switchbuckle 2 years ago
@switchbuckle I agree with you. They were actually going to have Dave wait until Jay's contract ran out and have him step up to the plate. Jay never said thank you and it just show how sleezy NBC and Jay really are. Dave didn't think he should have to wait and bolted as soon as he could, which he works in a much better place now and has a much more loyal audience and is loyal to his network and audience, maybe not his wife, but that's a different story. I'm sure Carson had some indiscretions too

Letterman's just a pile on scumbag. O'Brien doesn't really give a shit about his staff. Leno fooled me for a long time but he has a petty, cold, heart of stone. All you people hold one or the other in some kind of reverence. Get in touch with how your own needs are driving it---these three are pure scumbags at heart.

Would you (a) like to call everyone else to task or (b) ask that the opinion page be left blank because no one of us really "knows" them?
