Carson was NOT forced out. he stated that he didn't want to become repetitive and stale and it was the right time to go. he left on his own terms. if he'd asked for a huge pay raise to stay another five years, nbc would've given it to him immediately, no questions asked and regardless of what leno or his manager thought about it.

Is that Clint Eastwood next to Letterman?

@SuburbanDon I can't help but wonder just how much Leno's manager had to do with it. He waited until she was dead to push the blame on her. Plus he has no manager now but he still managed to screw Conan over pretty well.

David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Conan O'Brien.
Name 3 people screwed by NBC and Jay Leno.
-
is there a part 3?
-
@SuburbanDon I agree but i have to say...nobody had the power or authority to force Carson to do anything....Carson was the man above anybody in comedy

truly classic letterman
Leno got the job because studio execs will always pick a barely-competent pushover like Leno over a brilliant wildcard like Dave.
Leno was asked what the most memorable moment on his show was, and he picked Angie Harmon getting proposed by her footballer boyfriend. If that's the best that ever happened on your show, your show was shit.

I found out what a prick Leno is when he took over the Tonight show. No respect for Carson at all. And how his manager helped force Carson out.
