  • Lol it was never about ratings. Conan brought the audience every night and NBC lied about ratings being poor. Research this thing before you comment further.

  • rosie is  a pig, Trump kicked her ass

  • I do see what you are saying and you do make some points.

    BUT

    1- Conan's show Failed in the Ratings, there was no one to replace either of them, even if both camps fought against NBC. So they realized well we have to bring back what was working. > Leno.

    2. So even had both sides worked it out.....they couldn't give Conan the tonight show........it is about ratings.....he wasn't cutting it at that time slot. There is a generation that does not care so much for his humor & they far outnumber

  • @lightningsmokerXx ......the rest of us / any other segment of the population they are called the Baby Boomers....not to mention those even older aren't gonna watch Conan.

    3. Why would Jay step down.........he had a success as far as ratings go........and was forced out.....then they say they don't want the other guy. Well if they don't want the other guy.......if you quit.........who do they get. Someone worse than the both of them.

    It's like saying ur the boss at ur work, then they demote u

  • @lightningsmokerXx ....and realize the new guy they hired can hack it.......there's no one else to hire......so they go oh shit we can't get anyone to do better ATM ...we thought we could, we got greedy and it backfired.......better bring back the guy we had who doing a good job.

    4- Leno never wanted to retire....and give me a break kids........Conan was already a multimillionaire many times over.......his kids would never hurt for money unless he pissed it all away. OH did u know leno lives

  • @lightningsmokerXx .....off of the money he makes from doing stand up at clubs, vegas etc. HE hasn't touched any of his tonight show earnings. SO I THINK CONAN WOULD BE JUST FINE. The guy wrote for the simpsons/went to harvard....when you work at the tonight show you aren't gonna have a problem getting hired elsewhere even if it is a "lesser" job.

    5- So NBC brings Jay back cuz they realized they f%cked up.......well it's Conan's ego/pride that prevented him from taking back the role he was at.

  • @lightningsmokerXx .....rightfully so........but still. He was never going to get The Tonight Show back in 2010 once they realized uh oh we messed up. The only way he woulda got it if Leno had completely retired. & he let them know he planned to be around in some capacity in entertainment. Leno was forced out not because they thought Conan was better but because they thought they could make more money. WELL THEY UNDERESTIMATED THE MARKET & THE AUDIENCE. Conan OVERESTIMATED his show &the audience

  • @lightningsmokerXx Last yes Rosie did get it wrong.........because she insinuates that Jay was the wrong and did Conan in. AND WHY DOES SHE THINK THAT......because he made the mistake of saying publicly he was going to retire....because it was less shameful for him & he figured he was done. Well when someone offers you a job and say they don't want the other guy, when you were taken from the job you did well & fought for worked for scrambled for...you don't say no. Conan was given his first show

  • Comment removed

  • @lightningsmokerXx he was worthy.....not because his predecessor really wanted to retire......but because the execs ignored a segment of the population thinking his brand would fit all and they wanted to capitalize on him. Conan should have for that reason felt used and said no to the contract and done his new cable show. Not otherwise. The Tonight Show was never something to be just handed. And that's what happened here because of greed etc. ** I See what ur saying but I don't agree @ all **

  • Rosie said that Howard is a Jew, but Howard is not a Jew. Howard is an agnostic-atheist. (

  • @normalpsychology you don't have to religious to be jewish

  • she does a good impression of jay leno.

  • and now she's back :)

  • hahaha...tv is for stupid people

  • a boat?! Where?!

  • The Bus-Metapher kinda nails it.

  • Who was going to do 30 mins? Leno was supposed to or Conan was supposed to?

  • @kobe24mvp81They were gonna shorten Lenos show to a half hour and move it to 1130, which would have pushed Conan back to midnight, thus pushing Jimmy Fallon to 1AM, thus pretty much knocking Carson Daly off the late night line up altogether. Conan said no because he felt it would be disrespectful to a franchise that had been in the same time slot for almost 60 years, not to mention Jimmy Fallon and Carson Daly, so he left

  • @bruce1chubb thx man, Conan has so much respect, good man right there

  • @kobe24mvp81 Yea. Not to mention he used most of his 33 million dollar payout from NBC to pay his staff severance for their jobs and even move some of them out to LA with him to do his new show

  • i love freguson

  • I like Rosie a lot more than I ever used to

  • guess of one large laesbian. rosie odondell first one that pops in my mind

  • Rosie Rocks. Fuck you Jay.

  • Rosie is a pathetic chicken shit.

  • the host has real issues....if any person ever saw his show., one would agree that he never grew up...i`m still waiting to see a lollie pop and cotton candy handed to him that he can suck on and eat ...and also ...i`m so amazed that he laughs (gigggles)at his own jokes .. anyone avoiding and denying their gay on public tv ..should be shot..

  • Jay flattened the tires? Conan's ratings started dropping just weeks after he took over, and months before Jay's 9PM show premiered. Those tires were already soft, Rosie. Anyways, if someone tried take away a show Rosie loved doing, would she leave gracefully? Based on her emotional histrionics in the past, I would say "NO".

  • If someone you hate, defends someone you love... WHAT SHOULD I DO ARGRRRGHHH!!!! *jumps out window*

  • @stepsinit I'm in the same boat man

  • who gives a fuck what that loud mouthed blimp has to say!!

  • Craig, thank you for using the word "erudite". 

  • don't do german :)

  • Wow, it's totally great that rosie odonell has opinions about crap.

  • Not a Rosie fan but everyone hates leno. Phony, hollow deuchebag

  • Fuckin hell Rosie marry me !!

  • Lovveeee Roooosie !!!!!!!

  • Lovveeee Roooosie !!!!!!!!!

  • I bet I could make her go straight. Woot woot!

  • this orc is far from mordor

  • Make it Italian? Couldn't she have named a country that didn't co-op with the Germans?

  • Comment removed

  • Is that a pig or 2 pigs?...I can't tell...

  • ferguson reminds me of a true neocon

  • Whos howard

  • it wasnt leno's idea to move to 10 and then move back to 1135.

  • i can't stand this commie bitch, but i must admit.....she's right!

  • Fugg Jay....Fugg Conan....This Ferguson guy is truly truly funny. But he comes on so late. Id give him Leno's spot, cause he's more ascerbic, more ironic than Jay Leno

  • I hate Rosie...usually, but she pretty much hit that shit on the head.

  • @ServeTheBeaver Agreed, it seems she rocks sometimes!

  • @ServeTheBeaver No she didn't...what she says is what everyone falsely thinks, misinformed.

  • @lightningsmokerXx - leno worked his way up on carson got to where he was

    -was #1 for years.......the execs saw conan & knew he was popular with the younger people, they saw Conan's brand building steam & thought lets move jay who was #1 in ratings at the time and replace in hopes of getting conan bigger to help nbc+line pockets, make money. Well they misjudged the market....older people, older generation doesn't care for Conan as much (i think he's great) but they didn't see.

  • @lightningsmokerXx ,,,see that & Jay made the mistake of saying he'd retire...he said that as a way to make it seem like a graceful exit. He always planned to be in the business. This was said /thought by jay when he announced in 2009 conan would take over. It wasn't his fault they screwed up, and said were axing conan....we want u back. What would u do......he worked his hole life & all those years on carson....beat out so many for the job & when he's #1 told ya were letting.

  • @lightningsmokerXx It wasn't Jay's fault--any of it. Make no mistake, I don't care for his comedy, but I don't blame him for anything other than going back on his wellwishing to Conan. What would I do? Well, If I had cars and my opposition had kids, I'd back down. that's all I'm saying here.

  • @lightningsmokerXx But mostly, Jay just dropped the ball. That's why the shift needed to happen. Conan made the class move by rejecting the proposal to push the tonight show into tomorrow.

  • @lightningsmokerXx You're funnier than Leno.

  • @KillaCamRon405 cool story bro.

  • Comment removed

  • Cock... HUH?!

  • ill just make him german! what fuck this guy is crazy

  • Probably was crap she gave the audience

    

  • Rosie should have stopped after her role in A League of their Own. Madonna too.

  • You can have Leno and Coco. Give us Craig and Geoffrey!

  • howie is half italian

  • I like the metaphor she gave about doing the tonight show...it wasn't his "bus"...only thing though...Johnny Carson...the TRUE king of Late Night...was on for 30 years not 35...from 1962 to 1992....I'm only stating this because she emphasized that she "knew" the players

  • @lttguys She was talking about Jay and Conan. Pay attention, dumbass!

  • @CricketSayWhat The fact that you have to curse a stranger in your reply...low class!!

  • @MarijuanaMichelle thats why people bad mouth her, cos she speaks the truth nobody likes that, thats why i have no friends and talk shit on youtube

  • Too many people seem to have forgotten what was really behind the Conan/Leno thing. It's all about a little thing called RATINGS which means MONEY. If you send NBC's ratings down the toilet they aren't going to keep you no matter WHO you are.

  • @carlsperr Really? Because Conan had shit ratings his first 3 YEARS on late night. and he still was there for over 17. NBC did not give him the chance he deserved.

  • I wish she would be this logical all the time. The Tom Selleck incident and her "ching-chong-ching-chong" chinese rant on the view really made me loath her. But id rather watch ROSIE then anybody on FOXNEWS

  • The great Eli Porter said it best. Like Rosie O'Donnell, at a bisexual bridal shower.

  • @walterreallyy Im the best mayne! i deed it!

  • @MarijuanaMichelle People bad-mouth her because they thought it was funny when Trump was bad mouthing her.

  • @TheHockeyCentral And she was ahead of the curve and saw through the bullshit that Trump is spreading.

  • @MarijuanaMichelle that's why they bad-mouth her.

  • @MarijuanaMichelle Thats exactly why people hate her. I think shes a great woman.

  • i hate rosie but i hate leno as well

  • @MarijuanaMichelle

    Because she's a batshit crazy bitch

  • Go Ro!!!!!

  • go rosie

  • Did you guys know that Rosie (not Oprah) started that whole giving the audience gifts thing?

  • @liliblue so

  • @liliblue No, this is not true. Oprah would give theorpy sessions ect... away. from the onset of her show.

  • @liliblue Oprah sucks...

  • @pampalass how come? She does so much for people

  • @dalmatianlover27 it's all part of her act. if she didnt do those things for people, the media would hate her more then anything. what makes me not like her is the fact she took jay leno's side on the matter, and her reason why was because to quote her toward conan supporters "you don't know how things like that work" which shows her true side of caring more about the money and ratings then the job herself. why else would she launch her own network, magazine etc. before she had retired.

  • @pampalass What is wrong with u???? omfg, u just insulted the most powerful man in the world!!! u have balls....

  • @pampalass you go for the young stud...ur still performing....but we want to go a different route. So he didn't kick up a fuss.....he stepped aside. Enter 2009 ....well things didn't work out. So they say ok conan's not working.....who would they have got if they arent gonna bring conan back. There is no one. The older american audience knows leno...everyone knows leno. They said come back, so he did. NBC IS TO BLAME...THEY GOT GREEDY...THEY HAD THE 1-2 PUNCH.....THEY DROPPED THE BALL

  • @lightningsmokerXx anyone who tries to say Leno dropped the ball.....leno screwed Conan doesn't know what they are talking about. If nothing else.....watch the full Jay /Oprah interview and there is enough facts to prove the other side wrong. It's typical people running to assumptions and they attack Leno...& you can see why they thought that........BUT....they are wrong. Leno & Conan both got screwed by NBC....just Leno came out of it with a job first. 

  • @lightningsmokerXx ...Nobody got facts wrong. Nothing I've said or Rosie's said has been inherently wrong...you're just restating what happened whilst trying to make Leno look like a pawn when you and I both know full well that he could have stepped down and didn't. That's the ball that he dropped: The big ol' ball of having a conscience.

  • @liliblue she used to shoot those little elastic ball things into the crowd.

  • Howard Stern is a douchebag. I was living in DC when that asshole had to get out of town, and I remember why.

    -jcr

  • @NSResponder I want to make love to you

  • @NSResponder you are stupid that is not what happened at all

  • I'm not surprised Ferguson didn't stand up for Leno. Leno is a scumbag, and Fergie knows this well as Letterman (his mentor and boss) got screwed by Leno also.

    Letterman really did a great thing picking Ferguson to follow him. Not only is he a hilarious host but he seems like a very decent guy. I hope that when Letterman steps down, Fergie gets his time slot.

  • @TheSnoopy1750 fergie?  wow. lame.

  • @chrisis138 If you think Leno is better than Ferguson, you are probably over 60 years old. Leno does lame jokes that appeal to middle America, not hipper audiences.

    Ferguson is more for the Stewart, Colbert, Norm MacDonald viewers.

  • CBS cares

  • how many jelly beans are in rosie o'donnels head

  • i'll just make him german

  • Nice of her to defend conan but i still can't stand her.. ferguson is ok, but yeah.. leno's is not funny n the slightest.. and he certainly isn't "respectful".

  • @jodonte1 well thats too bad for you

  • @jodonte1 Logic Fail.

  • @FantomL0rd FAT LESBO..FAIL...

  • @jodonte1 You mad bro?

  • @jodonte1 Your parents must be great people! lol

  • Conan was a lightweight in that spot, it didn't work, people weren't laughing and he got a king's ransom when he was let go. Leno didn't "slash his tires" and who is she to tell someone when they should leave a show. Also, dykes always defend Stern. They love watching him disrespect women. He validates their rock bottom opinion of men. Her "scary Howard"/"tender Howard" spiel is garbage. It's men like Leno she's fearful of; good living, long time married and respectful. It freaks her out.

  • @johnnynthng What, you don't munch carpet?

  • @ScarfaceAsh OH HELL YES I MUNCH BUT SHE MUNCHES SHAG I MUNCH THAT CLEAN BALD HARDWOOD FLOOR

  • i cant help but notice, but what the fuck is up with her foot? it looks gangrenous...or is that the shoe?

  • gained so much respect for her after this haha

  • I only watched leno waiting for conan to come on.

  • I know this sounds crazy, but lately, I like Craig better than Conan, Letterman or Jay.

  • lmao craige. <3

  • Venessafabulay

    Yeah baby yeah!!!!!

  • I fucking LOOOOVE Rosie

  • This bitch has a face only a mother could love. Paint her gray and put " GOODYEAR" on her sides and she is set for life. I wonder how many men she has turned gay????????

  • I guess Rosie decided on a more mainstream character for herself base on this show's demographics. So, how many personalities can she create? It's probably an endless number of transformations based on who she need to manipulate at any given time including Howard Stern.

  • Rosie you fat POS Leno was there 19 yrs and was forced to retire 4 yrs before that because CoCo forced him out by threatening to quit. COCO QUIT... or threatened to but this time with crap ratings NBC said qut, FU!

    PER NY TIMES, Jan 31m 2011 LENO is NOT ON TOP OF ALL LATE NIGHT INCLUDING THE YOUNG DEMOGRAPHIC..... ROSIE IS AN ASS.... CoCo deserves here.

  • @gmcjetpilot Im not 100% sure of what your saying, but from what it sounds like, you don't really understand what hapened. Coco did give NBC a choice, but refused to hurt the tonight show legacy by moving it back for Jay's show(which was doing horribly). Like someone mentioned earlier, Conan wasn't willing to sacrifice this for his own personal gain, Jay was. Also, Jays ratings, as of right now, are worse than conans were at this time last year, and are barely better than Conan's. (0.1 better)

  • @shakenbake613

    SPIN! LEGACY... BULL SHIT. Great shows endure schedule changes. Tonight show has changed since 1954. CoCo's humor is all about him, LOOK AT MY RED HAIR IT PUFFS UP, I AM PALE AND IRISH, string dance, knock mic over, AHAAAAAAAAWEE "Be cool my babies". Watch his face when guest make fun of him; he has no sense of humor. IT's ABOUT EGO. It's OK. He got $30 million and is on basic cable between two shopping channels, on TBS home of black Tyler Perry sitcoms. Leno is back #1 on NBC.

  • @gmcjetpilot Okay...first of all, a lot of what ur saying is your opinion on different hosts, that's fine, your entitled to that. But don't go diss conan because YOU completely misinterpret his comedy. He does have a sense of humor, it's just much different than yours apparently. Also, I have no clue what your referring to about guests making fun of him. From what I've seen, he ususally does a great job of going along with it, and even poking fun at himself.

  • @shakenbake

    "YOU completely misinterpret his comedy'

    Yea after watching him since 1994 regularly with a few yrs off here and there, I really don't get it. Viva La Difference. CoCo is a ridiculously rich man with more money than he can spend in 5 lives. His dad, a doctor, did real important things for people, society, yet he made a tiny miniscule fraction of what his son CoCo made. I really can't be upset about poor CoCo. There are 230 channels on my TV, plus internet. We all can be replaced.

  • @gmcjetpilot I guess I don't understand what your problem is. It just sounds like conan's a comedian you don't care for and your mad because he's making money. There are tons of comedians out there that i don't like...so what. If you don't feel bad for him, fine, don't feel bad, it's not a big deal. just keep it to yourself.

  • @gmcjetpilot Anyway, in the end, Conan's on, Leno's on, everybody has a show, everybody wins. We can just agree to disagree.

  • @gmcjetpilot As for everything else... Sure, the tonight show would have endured if moved back, thats not the point. It still would have hurt it, which is why Conan didn't move. Yes, I know its also probably partially because Conan didn't want to move, but can you blame him. He was barely where he was befor NBC decided to break the contract. Yes, NBC broke the contract, not Conan. I do agree with you about Craig, though. I've always loved Craigyferg. lot less drama too.

  • @shakenbake613

    CoCo went rouge, with a PUBLIC manifesto saying MY WAY 100% OR I QUIT. He gave NBC no room. He worked 15% of a 4 yr contract. He could've tried it for 18 months. Leno will retire soon. TEAM WORK! I'd LOVED IT! I like both. However AMERICA is made up of adults who like a classic talk show, topical stand up, who does setup, punch line joke joke joke, so they can fall asleep and go to work in the morning. CoCo is great for sight gags and if your high I guess.

  • @shakenbake613

    CoCo doesn't deserve sympathy or to be worshiped as a cutting edge comic genus. He worked for NBC about 20 yrs, made 100's of millions. CoCo's first 5 yrs SUCKED. NBC stood by him. Ferguson is way more Avant-garde than CoCo and a REAL Scotsman w/ a real accent. Fallon has way better improv and musical chops and band interaction. Letterman is mean w/ controversial guest interviews. Leno is a stand up joke man, no song & dance. Change channel as you like. LENO IS #1!

  • Jan 31, 2011 N.Y. Times, "Not so long ago, Jay Leno's primetime experiment had tanked, and Team Coco moved to TBS. What a difference a few months can make. The big-chinned comedian is back atop the ratings, besting his rivals week after week. Leno's is back to king of late night television and victories include the youngsters. Of all the late night hosts, Leno draws the most young adults, more than Letterman, O'Brien, Kimmel, and Fallon." LENO ROCKS! Team CoCo Sad :( Rosie is an ass, like CoCo

  • Rosie O'Donnell you FFFUUUUUCCCCKKKEEEENN FFFAAATTTT ASSSSSSSS RACIST PIG.

  • never a big fan of Rosie. But she's a good interview.

  • Craig/Conan/Stewart all deserve the Tonight Show more than Leno does.

  • Hot damn, Craig Ferguson is hilarious.

  • Rosie is cool!

  • Howard stern is no genius. He does rip on people who dis him and likes those who kiss his skinny ass. Rosie is a pathetic shill for Howard. Jay Leno is a great comedian and deserved the Tonight's Show, but he should have let Conan take over.

  • Howard and craig are the best thing on radio and tv .

  • rosie odonell is a bully and a baby. who can dish it out but can't take it..

  • I LOVE ROSIE!

  • south park did it

  • talk shows are garbage first of all

  • As far as Rosie, she's really cool. She's extremely defensive about her being gay and her politics ar far out there. But I would love to hang out with her if neither matter came to light. Just my opinion.

  • Haha, german?! What the?!

  • Letterman>Conan>John Stewart>Craig Ferg>Stephen Colbert>Jimmy Kimmel>Chelsea Handler>George Lopez>Leno

  • Yep, I dont give a fuck about Rosies Opinion.

  • is it me or does rosie look kinda hot here

  • @bone819 It´s just you.

  • I just recently started watching craigs show, good shit

  • Comment removed

  • I only ever heard of this person through jokes about her... she seems nice now that ive actually seen her.

  • My favorite talk show will allways be craig´s :) SNAKE CUP IS KING

  • i like her analogy about the bus

  • back when the mug had both teeth

  • I hate Rosie, but for ONCE she got something right coming out of her big mouth!
