  • 0:23 WOW, NBC should be bankrupt!!!! She said the total including severance and pay out deals totaled 40 billion dollars! NBC fu**ed up, they lost viewers if anything since people like me that used to watch Leno, O'brien, and Falon, no longer watch NBC since Conan is gone. They thought that a new format was going to keep the ratings the same? Leno was not #1 all the time, he only passed Letterman after many years as host to the Tonight Show. They should have given Conan a chance. F*** NBC!!!

  • i guarantee leno wouldn't do what coco did for his staff conan is the definition of class act

  • TEAM COCO!!!!!

  • I will miss the show:(

  • nbc is just a bunch of douchers. conan will rule of jay once he is back on air.

  • Conan is an honourable man. I like how he takes care of his crew.

  • Host ! keeping f**king my ears

  • shove your adds up your ass CBS. youtube will be destroyed if they dont put a cap on the adds.

  • And why exactly should I care about this?

  • Comment removed

  • They should change the name of this site to YouAds

  • Do people actually like Jay Leno? I can't even comprehend that. I'd rather be flicked in the forehead for an hour then watch Jay Leno.

  • Whoever at NBC made this happen needs to be fired. Of course, they'll probably get a raise.

  • fuck you youtube, since when are we forced to watch commercials?? that's why i like(liked) to watch stuff online and not on tv.

  • CoCo 4 Lyfe

  • i hate at-t

  • fkin ad

  • Hate adverts.

  • Any reasonable person knows it takes time to build an audience. When Jay Leno took over the Tonight Show from Johnny Carson, his ratings were way worse than Conan's or Letterman's. It took Leno 3 years until he beat Letterman in the ratings.

  • Leno guest-hosted The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson several times before he became host, and Jimmy Fallon was a cast member on SNL. Also, Jimmy Fallon's ratings are not higher than Conan's were a year ago. Conan consistently beat Craig Ferguson in the ratings, and Fallon has been behind for a while now. By your logic, Jay Leno failed as well, after he lost a major percentage of his audience to Letterman after he took over from Carson. Instead of being fired, he was allowed time, unlike Conan.

  • Maggie Rodriguez is so hot!!!

  • she is suck

  • this whole event is scripted

  • she;s hot

  • @JourneyThruChanges leno is the enemy not conan. Leno is an indian giver. He has to know that he looks like a baby taking his show back from conan. I know NBC is the architect here, but the fact that Leno agreed to steal it back from conan shows that he has no dignity. Leno should just retire or move on! Going back to his old gig is not a noble move.

  • life is not fair.. it you can't take this, you are a joke

  • Coco FTW

  • team COCO

  • @tarabuttercup damn a leno fan, wasn't aware there were any

  • Suprisingly, there is alot.. fogie women that watch Opera.

  • @tarabuttercup I'm excited to poop on your stupid face...

  • Jay made jokes about NBC too. Conan has not made a single joke demeaning Jay regarding this mess. ever. In fact he said on his last show that he's grateful for NBC and feels very fortunate. He specifically said cynicism is the quality he hates most, and Conan is truly not a bitter type. His ratings went up as he's going out? True. But his bitterness wasn't the cause of that, the situation was the cause. Changing timeslots didn't work for BOTH Leno and Conan, so why blame Conan for lower ratings?

  • Don't forget that he also had a bad lead in before him so of course that would affect him.

  • @tarabuttercup are you 60 or something?

  • Until SEPTEMBER?

    Fuck that.

    Well good he's still coming back.

  • Fucking Jay Leno. Hated him before and now i hate him even more. FUCK YOU JAY!!

  • Conan should go to CBS!

  • screw leno

  • conan's so nice to his crew. can't wait until he's back on air

  • So I guess you need at least a GED to get a job in NBC for an executive position?

  • no actually, you don't even need to go to school =D

  • Conan is not only funnier than Leno, but he has a more loyal fan base. NBC is run by idiots & it's obvious w/ all the crap they are spewing. People are not watching Conan because people are not watching Leno's show which leads into the news. Conan's ratings would be better if NBC actually had quality shows. Conan held out for his staff who moved from NY to CA to be w/ the show. He is a generous boss & fights for his workers & the Gleason days are over. NBC screwed up they should pay. I h8 NBC!

  • Wow Maggie Rodriguez is cute.

    Coco 4ever.

  • I hope CBS picks up Conan...David Letterman said in the past he wanted Conan to succeed him at the Late Show, and this would put Conan at 11:30 again, pitting him against Jay, with another Late Night war.

    Awfully nice of Conan to pay the staff of his out of his own money. Shame that happened to him. I'm a long time fan of Conan, his humour is odd, the way I like it.

  • I like what David Letterman said about Cbs giving $30 million dollars to Conan. He says, "Thats more than what I got when i left. All I got from NBC is a restraining order"

  • Fuck NBC and Jay to!!!!!!

  • Leno will be on Thurs. Oprah, we'll see how that goes for him.

  • $40MUSD?!? ... No Blood Testing?! ... No Harsh Training?! ... No Ducking of Opponents?!?... I think someone's in the wrong business.

  • Leno was the weak tool for taking the 10pm slot after NBC screwed him by taking him off the Tonight Show. Think about it, NBC pulls him from his dream gig hosting the Tonight Show and with his tail between his legs accepts a 10pm show to save NBC's butt. He should have done a Conan and said screw you NBC I'm going to Fox then. But nope, Jay (who I do like) takes the crap from NBC, takes the 10pm gig and 7 mos later kisses and saves NBC's butt, saying yes to the 11:30 show again. Lame.

  • @rpeggio

    Jay actually did try to go to FOX, but NBC wouldn't release from his contract.

    I don't blame the talent (Jay or Conan) for any of this. This is all Jeff Zucker and the NBC BOD.

  • They all sign non-compete clauses which typically last for a year....Conan fought with NBC and they reduced his to 7 mos. Jay could and should have done the same, instead he inexplicably did NBC a favor by taking the 10pm slot, which failed and rightfully so. Jay should have done what Conan is doing...if Jay did that, he'd be starting a new show with Fox this Spring (if Fox even wanted him).

  • I don't necessarily agree that he failed, he got the ratings they were expecting.

    NBC has all but given up on drama's.

    If you look at Tuesday nights, it's 2 hours of Biggest Loser, followed by an hour of Jay.

  • They say he failed to get the ratings and the local news channels across the country have been crying about low lead-in viewers hurting their 11pm news broadcasts. But that's not my point, I'm just saying like Conan, Jay could have easily fought to reduce his non-compete to 7 mos or so, and been start up at Fox. If my company gave me the shaft and I knew I could leave and get the similar job elsewhere, I'd say fu and leave. Jay's an interesting character. Again, I like Jay..bad form though.

  • The woman with the blue dress is beautiful .

  • @semana2

    It think its more Lenos fault than Coco's. Once Jay moved to the 10 oclock time slot, he lost a lot of viewers which kind of fucked over the local news stations that come on right after his time slot. So I think the reason hes moving back to the 11:35 time is because NBC needs a show at the 10 o'clock time slot where it'll actually get views and make people watch nbc. Conan got 7 million viewers on his last show so he was doing something right..

  • Maybe so. Although I think the 7 million views was more a function of the "fight" that was getting so much publicity than Conan's drawing ability. If he had that kind of drawing power the whole issue would never have come up. Just my thoughts.

  • Please O'Brien lemmings: Do all the O'B worship you want but please don't try to attach a "class" label to this guy. Class is something that is demonstrated consistently and not as a result of a calculated move to attract good will once you have taken advantage of your ability to squeeze your employer for the highest settlement on his own turf. O'B had GE stockholders by the balls and squeezed for everything it was worth.

  • I wonder how much it would have cost to get rid of Jay? I think if his price tag was the same as Conan (45 Mill), they would have kept Conan instead..

  • @raidacaipo Jay's NBC contract require $150 million payout. Also, if NBC canceled Jay without making some sort of deal, Jay would be allowed to sue NBC for that plus extra. It was a matter of contract vs. contract for NBC. In the end, the bigger contract won but the personality suffers a reputation hit. NBC said Happy New Year 2010 and Fuck you Jay and Conan.

  • It was sad watching the last show. I think Conan's hilarious. He's a good guy.

  • Imma' miss him,his contraversial ways,his ginger-ness,and his side-kick (even though he takes up like,5/100 of the show)Andy Richter......I was kinda' depressed in the last show.....

  • @oBLACKandREDo: I know what you mean. But you gotta admit, freebird made you feel better! I lost the ability to sit when I realized what they were doing. I stood up and had to restrain myself from cheering. I feel bad for me and those like me though. Conan's the only new tv I watched. New tv is dead to me. Until that bunch gets around to doing something else.

  • i think NBC could have worked this out in a better way. Conan had been working for them for about 20yrs. he was the host of Late Night and then he moved to the Tonight show, that adds up to alot of experience. i think that NBC literally threw out an american icon. Screw Leno, he's not at all funny, and his jokes get overrated and awkward most of the time. the tonight show needs a younger, hip host, someone with more comedic elasticity, like Conan.

  • @jmcj06 You have an excellent way of saying exactly what everyone with a brain must be thinking.

  • @jmcj06

    completely agree. i never liked jay but now i think theres alot of people who are gonna hate him. he should have just retired and left everything to conan

  • Put Conan's picture next to the word "class" in the dictionary.  Whether you like him or not, the man is as classy as they come.

  • Put your picture next to the word "tool" in the dictionary. Whether one likes you or not, you are as toolish for O'Brien as they come.

  • I'm a tool for liking Conan O'Brien? Whatever you say.

  • The issue is not that you choose to like him. No problem there. It's this notion that he "is as classy as they come." Say wha???????

  • As far as television goes? Find me someone classier in the television industry today.

  • How can I respond to this? We can't do an all things equal here. Where's the equivalency? Years ago CBS paid Jackie Gleason not to work to prevent him from going to NBC. He never upped the ante while he was on the air to force them to do it. He went quietly and with class. AND THAT'S THE POINT. Your boy acted like a punk all along and then he made nice on his last day. Come to think of it, I'm with COCO too if he lets me in on taking you suckers for a ride.

  • Jackie Gleason?! Really?

    How did Conan act like a punk? NBC gave him no support and threw him to the wolves, but Conan is a punk for making a few innocent jokes? Leno made worse jokes and he wasn't even getting screwed.

    And clearly you didn't watch the final episode where Conan thanked NBC. Piss off.

  • Jackie Gleason, really. You think I'm making it up or do you even have a clue about who the Great One was. O'B lost 50% of the TS audience--you can't blame NBC entirely for that. At least you don't claim victory, how about some humillty from O'B which never happened. Last night was calculated for lemmings like you. You are gullible to think his "jokes" were innocent--they were encouraged by and cleared through his lawyers. You lack insight, you pissant.

  • they should have had a tonight show with BOTH conan and jay ... NBC rlly could have fixed it in a better way

  • @lostlost22 Conan would make Jay look like an IDIOT...and I'm sure NBC wouldn't like to lose those "Jay" folks.

  • bummer

  • first learn english, then try to talk shit

  • I guess you are just as a jackass as Conan is you Jackass, you're probably a dropout, haven't even graduated, and because you see a latin last name you think non-american, what a jackass

  • yeah he's such an idiot he graduated from Harvard, wrote for the Simpsons and SNL, gives up his own pay for his staff and has the humility to thank NBC on his final show..what an idiot!

    wait... what does that make you?

  • You could care less? So you care about him?!?

  • I like Conan because hes funny and all, but what I like even more about him is his loyalty to his crew and staff..I dont care how much money he makes..He loves his crew, pays them when there was a strike and pays them with this mess..and wants to keep the same crew together forever...I mean how much more loyalty do you need? I want to work for Conan!!!

  • I really hope Leno's show tanks, NBC needs to figure it out...

  • NBC Jeffrey Zucker like Bernie Madoff, Lehman Brothers, Richard Fuld ,and Letterman do things the jewish way- like Leno said it's al about ratings and dirty money.

  • leno will offer nbc 20 million for conan's comeback (on any station) ASAP because without him Jay might as well resort to lipsincing (just kidding)...

  • conan doesn't like cynacism but the comments on here are nothing but snide. Maybe away from tv he's a different person. 

    He was gracious...

  • yea we all read yahoo too :/ wow you know him so well

  • why must we concentrate on haitians right now. there are cities in america that rely on rebuilding. conan gave ppl in america laughter. laughter fr0m conan was original and organic...

  • nbc msnbc are going down the tubes.

  • What online MBA having, knuckle dragging, souless, greedy, idiotic, spineless NBC executive made this brilliant move anyway?

  • This whole mess is an absolute joke. The dumbasses at NBC are going to run that network into the ground.

  • yes of course... because contracts don't mean anything right?

  • They are thieves with contracts.

  • Damn.. i really liked all the NBC jokes in the first 10 mins of the show..thats the only reason i been watching it lately...

  • That lady in the green is a MILF.

  • first off ur a idiot and she was wearing blue not green

  • Wow i feel bad for conan, Conan did alot for NBC for like 20 years and they give him his dream job and just pay it off of him, i hope these last two shows are his best

  • just because we feel bad for conan doesn't mean we don't care about the haitans

  • who talked about not caring, i was referring to feeling bad for the very rich conan o'brian. your priorities ARE SCREWED UP!

  • Conan is the man, and has been for years.

    I will not be watching ANYTHING Leno does on or off the air from now on.... and I can't wait to support Conan is whatever he does.

    Leno is old news and was never funny, he has lost ALL points in my book for not being the better person and letting Conan take his rightful place.

    Leno had his chance and it was a great run, he did and accomplished tons.

    It was Conan's time, he not only deserved it, but he earned it.

    NBC suits are scumbag pieces of trash.

  • I don't care much for NBC and think about all the people that Conan brought with him who moved their families. hope they are compensated.

  • fuck leno, im glad they at least gave conan 30 mil. hell go on to bigger things even tho this sucks for him because hes wanted the show and deserved it for so long. nbc will continue to suck, i mean seriously...

  • yea Conan will easily be picked up by another network after hes allowed to be back on air my guess is fox hes to good to not be on the air and with all thats happend now I dont see leno getting his old number of viewers back which will be hilarious alot of people think leno has something to do with this whole mess while I dont see that I still dont like him and will never watch him.

  • i hate leno
