If O'brien was'nt so pushy...demanding the Tonight show now!... "or i walk". He would have had it after Jay Leno did 3 more years. All Leno wanted is 20 yrs..then he would have retured to stand up.
NBC lost one of its BEST TV personalities and comedians... JAY LENO hosted this show for a long time and it is his time to go off the air, like john carson... and if you think that conan did not do a great job on the Tonight Show you are a MORON
Why then do you think Leno's ratings were so much higher than Letterman's, and Conan's ratings were so much lower than Letterman's? I'll tell you the answer. Because Conan is NOT funny!!!! Plain and simple....he is NOT funny!!! And Leno is funny...plain and simple!!!
Understand? The funnier you are, the higher your ratings, which Conan never got, and that's why Conan was fired. He is not funny and got poor ratings.
Why do you think Leno's ratings were so much higher than Letterman's, WHEN HE FIRST TRAILED LETTERMAN FOR *YEARS*? I'll tell you the answer. Time! Plain and simple, late night shows need time to build their fanbases! And Conan wasn't given any time...plain and simple!
Understand? The more time you have to find success with the show, the higher your ratings, which Conan never got, and THAT'S why Conan was fired.

Don't you think the network executives and audiences could tell that Conan was not funny and never would be funny? He was almost as unfunny as Letterman, which is why Leno consistently does better than Letterman.
Do you actually think Conan is funnier than Leno?
Oh I see, there is a positive correlation between funny and ratings. I understand now. I'm glad you did the research on this. It's actually quite amazing that you were able to give something as subjective as humor a quantifiable value. Incredible work. I'm just thankful you broke this down subjectively for us to understand. Can you believe I thought it was more complex than this? Boy am I dummy. Thanks again.
Don't you think there's some correlation between funny and ratings? Sure humor is subjective, but don't you think audience ratings are a good indication of the host's sense of humor?
If "funny" is so unimportant, why is there a monologue? Why not just bring guests on and ask simple questions or even have a news show at that hour?
It isn't so much that ratings are a indicator of a host's humor, but rather a host's appeal which is gained over time. Conan has a great sense of humor and enjoys doing things off the cuff more than being overly structured like Jay. He is zanier and this showed during his tenure at Late Night, but as host of the Tonight Show he knew that he had to change his approach. He had endured low ratings for years at Late Night before finally finding his voice, and no doubt could have done so again.
ob7934, I can accept what you said and it is very well said. And you're right, appeal is the key word. Letterman is sometimes mean and rude to his guests, whereas Leno and Conan never do (did) the same to their guests.
But I have to say that even though Jimmy Fallon is a nice guy, he is just not at all funny and he almost appears to be uncomfortable as a host.
1. Winning over an audience that was used to Jay from the past 17 years.
2. Adapting his unique sense of humor to a new arena and audience at Tonight.
3. Being relegated once again as Jay's follow-up act hardly 4 months into his tenure, with promotion for the J.L. Show much earlier than that, undermining his role as the new host of Tonight.
4. Suffering lower ratings after the J.L. Show hit the air, when he had held his own during the summer.
Thanks! Of course I'm not trying to make every point an anti-Leno point as it might seem but a lot of the circumstances around the situation do deal with him, or at least with how NBC managed the two of them. I'd like to think the Tonight Show franchise is still bigger than any one host, and that it was time for a fresh face on there, but we'll see what happens from here. I do wonder who will replace Leno eventually...I can't think of anyone right now who would be appropriate for the job.
It's not that funny is unimportant, it's that when it comes to late night shows the audience and the host have to adapt to one another. It's an evolutionary process which by virtue means that it takes time to find success. If you haven't already, I would watch him as a guest on Inside the Actors' Studio, just so you might get a better feel for him, why his sense of humor is the way it is, his views on the history of Tonight, and how he enjoys engaging the audience rather than spoon-feeding them.
The most popular talkshow here in Norway has 1.000.000 viewers. Thats 20% of our population, and 50% of the viewers that are watching tv primetime. That's what I call a success. Rating 8.000.000 (and 4.000,000 for Letterman?) in a country with close to 300.000.000 people is not what I would call a hit show.
It depends on the number of shows you could choose from. I guess there might be a little wider range of shows in the US than in Norway. By keeping that in mind, I guess you could say 8.000.000 out of 300.000.000 people watching your show could be considered a quite sucessfull thing.
I gotta say, Conan wasn't as funny when he moved to LA. Did he know that it was gonna be that bad? Did he have a choice? Why did he move? Half of his humor was about complaining about people being asleep while his show was on. So why did he move?
this is fuckin bullshit! leno fuckin sucks ass and stupid ass jimmy sucks ass. jimmy is a fuckin fag who rips this show off and isnt even funny. conan for life man! hes the damn best and the nicest and most funny. this is fuckin bullshit. put conan back on!

The network executive who ran Jay Leno off . To make room for this unfunny rich kid. Then give him 45 million to go away. Should be fired himself...the incompetent fuck! I bet NBC rewarded him with a 5 million dollar bonus at years end!
Conan's great! I do think hehe tried a different approach or something when he took the tonight show, i'm guessing under the pressure. i felt he wasn't going about it in his style. same thing happened when he took over Letterman's old show(late night), took him a little bit to find his niche/comfort zone, but eventually made it his own. There was a stark contrast between him on the previous show and the tonight show, i think he would've found his place there like he had with his previous show.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Conan's great"? This rich kid from Harvard believes he is a comedian and funny....Please! Jay Leno, George Lopez and Monique. They are comedians who also are talk show host. I can't understand why they gave this guy a show?
Why'd they kick Conan anyway? Why not Leno? I mean the people liked Conan more than Leno didn't they, Leno sucks ass, I don't see why they kept Leno and kicked Conan at all.
when i was 12 i saw conan and he inspired me to want to be a talk show host. a weird dream at that young age... that dream i think is probably gone now, but hes still my favorite host and hes probably one of the coolest people in show business
Aw, c'mon. The Tonight Show has been dead in the water on any sort of creative level since Carson retired, good ratings or not. If Leno is actually someone's idea of funny anymore, I hope they enjoyed their frontal lobotomy. Conan isn't everybody's cup of tea, but he is a decent and classy guy and this message is a good one- he could have wasted these last minutes on self aggrandizing bullshit, but he chose the high road.
Conan...class act..too good for that mess of a network..he took the high road, and it may ultimately be the best choice he will ever make..can't wait for your next act Conan!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's great that The Tonight Show can finally recover from the damage Conan did to its ratings in the brief time he was there. At least he's off the air so others with far greater talent can pull in the ratings Conan could only dream about.
i always look forward to watching ur shows...i personally thought you were funnier then Jay Leno. Hope to see you again making more shows with a better company.
Every time I watch this I want to cry. He is the most kind hearted man that I've ever known to be on television. Whatever you choose to do next Coco, I am behind you 110%.
good luck Conan sooner or later idiots on nbc will realize what a a big mistake they done keeping oldtimer leno and his lame 70s jokes that makes people only yawn and streach out of boredom.
I dont hate Jay I just think its unfair and its wrong.
Conan is the voice of a new wave of late-night hosts in our generation and it's a shame that NBC cheated him out of his dream job. Stay strong Co-Co, we'll always be there for you!
Class act. The man could've slammed everyone and anyone...he could've revealed some nasty secrets. He could've done so many things. But, he just thanked everyone humbly and genuinely. I cannot wait to see what Conan O'Brien will do next and I will be there to support him.
I grew up watching Conan. I think I've always loved his show because he was, and is, sincerely humble and sweet. If you notice throughout his years as a talk show host, he never made fun of his guests. He always made fun of himself.
I love conan so much,i cannot believe after only 7 months he had to go.I have been watching his show since the 6th grade and now im 19....I LOVE U CONAN!!!
I hate Letterman.....regardless....this was an awesome speech. He got real emotional, and the bit about being cynical is amazing, it really moved me. THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS CONAN!
Wow, Conan has some sage wisdom coming on in his older age. Very cool and heartfelt. Leno will be crushed by his own foolishness soon anyways. Same with Leno's "administration" Conan will be on better ground than even Letterman in a few seasons! Peace thanks for the vid.
i agree with Conan about NBC but i will always and from now boycott there network not because im cynical but because of justice. NBC had no right to do what they did to Conan. they promised him time to put his feet down and they didn't deliver and many more things they did shame on NBC. BOYCOTT NBC NOW
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Really? You enjoy Conan on another network, while I enjoy Leno on THE TONIGHT SHOW!!!! Goodbye Conan, hope the door hit you in the butt on the way out. LOL!
I can't believe they kept Leno and let O'Brien slip through their fingers. I am old enough to have watched live airings of The Tonight Show with Carson, and was a regular viewer. I gave Leno a shot when he took over, but frankly, he's not funny.. at all.. When Conan got the spot, I started watching again. He may be the only talk show host in history to go toe-to-toe with Robin Williams and come out unscathed
With Leno, they once more lose my eyeballs. Horrendously incompetent management
Zionist companies must be exposed for Murdering Adults in other Countries and then Installing Slave Camps for kids for Walmart and other Zionist Companies!!! Stop these Zionist Bankers that did 9/11!!!
From what I can see, it's not NBC. It's not even Jay's fault... It's the ratings. Who makes the ratings? the viewers. After watching this clip, I really wish I could have taken the time to watch the one late night show host who had the most charisma and wit I've ever seen since Johnny Carson. This is what the majority wanted. And what can we say about the majority? Moronic, baby hueys, closed minded, afraid of change... Never thought that this would happen to somone like Conan.
In all honesty, I think Conan should've had a better chance with "The Tonight Show". No one can top Johnny Carson and that's a fact, but Conan O' Brien, I think he did a wonderful job. I just think NBC was too greedy to keep Jay Leno, and I say Conan should've had a better shot with The Tonight Show, he really should've.
Watching this reinforces my love for Conan—he's such a smart, witty guy, and you can't watch this video without feeling all his kindness oozing through the screen. What a classy, classy man. Can't wait to see him in whatever he does next. If he's doing a show in the 7/11 parking lot, rest assured that I'll be there watching with the millions of other people who love him. Consie forever!
how classy is this guy, he could have easily bashed NBC...but no, he thx them...i almost cried, almost...you can tell this was truly from the heart and not scripted like tiger woods
You know what Conan should do? He should host his own independent live show in the web. No limits, no networks bossing around - he could go by his own schedule.
Conan O'Brien is the only talk show host that I turn on my tv to watch. he is funny and a really kind man, his jokes comes from his heart even if they can be silly BUT he enjoys to deliver the jokes and laugh at them himself.. I do really love to see conan in a show again soon..
In all their years, Jay Leno and Johnny Carson spent trying to make a single unforgettable performance on the tonight show, after 7 months Conan O'Brien achieved this with one, sincere, heartfelt speech that left all those who loved and hated him with at least a measurable amount or respect.
I agree with you 110%, and I'm sure millions of others would too. He had the perfect opportunity to bash NBC, but instead, he closes with an unforgettable, emotional speech that makes you respect him more.
And quite brilliant. That's the indignant thing about how some people view Conan, they see his antics and have him pegged as a silly man, they don't look at his life's work (even in his youth, before he became a professional) and realise what a truly unique and bright person he is. I wish I were fortunate enough to have some of his remarkable traits. No, he's obviously not the greatest thing to ever grace earth and he's not dying, but he does deserve respect and recognition.
Yeah, and ppl don't realize that he is supplementing some of his crews salary for the next 6 weeks or beyond. Especially those who weren't covered in the lawsuit.
Btw, checkout my channel! I have alot of Coco videos =)
glad conan isn't hosting tonight show anymore. he couldn't keep up the ratings. he is funny sometimes. Leno is simply better, but its all NBC to blame
All you 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 didn't fire Conan, he QUIT, period.
Leno will never get the ratings he enjoyed before this huge mess him and NBC created, Conan was, in my opinion, the better of the two. Conan WILL find another gig, he's too good to simply slide into the past. When he does expect him to dominate the late night airwaves for a very, very long time. Maybe a new block on Fox or taking over the 10-11 slot on Adult Swim, i think he would do awesome in any thing he decides to do. Team Conan!
what a classy guy!!!

I hate Letterman.....regardless....this was an awesome speech. He got real emotional, and the bit about being cynical is amazing, it really moved me. THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS CONAN!

Wow, Conan has some sage wisdom coming on in his older age. Very cool and heartfelt. Leno will be crushed by his own foolishness soon anyways. Same with Leno's "administration" Conan will be on better ground than even Letterman in a few seasons! Peace thanks for the vid.

i agree with Conan about NBC but i will always and from now boycott there network not because im cynical but because of justice. NBC had no right to do what they did to Conan. they promised him time to put his feet down and they didn't deliver and many more things they did shame on NBC. BOYCOTT NBC NOW

I don't know about that, but I think Leno failing at 11:35 in NBC's current state is inevitable.

I can't believe they kept Leno and let O'Brien slip through their fingers. I am old enough to have watched live airings of The Tonight Show with Carson, and was a regular viewer. I gave Leno a shot when he took over, but frankly, he's not funny.. at all.. When Conan got the spot, I started watching again. He may be the only talk show host in history to go toe-to-toe with Robin Williams and come out unscathed
With Leno, they once more lose my eyeballs. Horrendously incompetent management

From what I can see, it's not NBC. It's not even Jay's fault... It's the ratings. Who makes the ratings? the viewers. After watching this clip, I really wish I could have taken the time to watch the one late night show host who had the most charisma and wit I've ever seen since Johnny Carson. This is what the majority wanted. And what can we say about the majority? Moronic, baby hueys, closed minded, afraid of change... Never thought that this would happen to somone like Conan.

In all honesty, I think Conan should've had a better chance with "The Tonight Show". No one can top Johnny Carson and that's a fact, but Conan O' Brien, I think he did a wonderful job. I just think NBC was too greedy to keep Jay Leno, and I say Conan should've had a better shot with The Tonight Show, he really should've.

He is likely to pick up a show on the Fox network. That station's viewers are a lot younger, and will prove to do Conan good.

Watching this reinforces my love for Conan—he's such a smart, witty guy, and you can't watch this video without feeling all his kindness oozing through the screen. What a classy, classy man. Can't wait to see him in whatever he does next. If he's doing a show in the 7/11 parking lot, rest assured that I'll be there watching with the millions of other people who love him. Consie forever!

In all their years, Jay Leno and Johnny Carson spent trying to make a single unforgettable performance on the tonight show, after 7 months Conan O'Brien achieved this with one, sincere, heartfelt speech that left all those who loved and hated him with at least a measurable amount or respect.
strideninja 2 years ago 6
I agree with you 110%, and I'm sure millions of others would too. He had the perfect opportunity to bash NBC, but instead, he closes with an unforgettable, emotional speech that makes you respect him more.

And quite brilliant. That's the indignant thing about how some people view Conan, they see his antics and have him pegged as a silly man, they don't look at his life's work (even in his youth, before he became a professional) and realise what a truly unique and bright person he is. I wish I were fortunate enough to have some of his remarkable traits. No, he's obviously not the greatest thing to ever grace earth and he's not dying, but he does deserve respect and recognition.

He's obviously tearing up at the end and the message he got across was something I hope people take to heart.
Conan is a comedic genius, but beyond that he's a good human being and that's the part that's sad........Conan is everything that Jay Leno is NOT.

All you 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 didn't fire Conan, he QUIT, period.

Leno will never get the ratings he enjoyed before this huge mess him and NBC created, Conan was, in my opinion, the better of the two. Conan WILL find another gig, he's too good to simply slide into the past. When he does expect him to dominate the late night airwaves for a very, very long time. Maybe a new block on Fox or taking over the 10-11 slot on Adult Swim, i think he would do awesome in any thing he decides to do. Team Conan!
