I'm not looking it up. I don't care that much about it, but I doubt he was tanking as bad as Conan. Although it is a very different time now. Who knows. My main point was no one commenting here really knows the situation.

Well...one thing I do know, is that I do prefer Jay leno.

A lot of factors you have to figure into this. 1st of all OF COURSE Conan would lose an alleged 60% of the late night audience when NBC took the same Leno format and moved it to the 10:00pm slot. So naturally the audience would move along with him to that slot. If they didn't have that option, Conan probably would have only lost 15-20% (And that's mostly due to the generational gap. Conan has a much younger sense of humor), which is almost expected when you make a big change like that.

This is clearly a catastrophic failure on NBC's part in trying to cut out a Tonight Show slot in at a time that was waaay too early. If it was truly a brand new show format, maybe it could work, but it was The Tonight Show without a desk. You really can't blame Jay or Conan. Someone needs to take the heat for this whole entire mess. NBC called together these big press conferences and marketing ploys acting like they were coming with something with brand new ideas, and it was no different. I hope Conan goes to Fox and crushes that timeslot.

PS - Jimmy Fallon Sucks

[We got like 30 of these threads here, why we can't just keep one active

Ill just repost what I said n each, then you can pick which ones you don't like.

"Conan needs to go, he is a total tard. Him taking Over the tonight show was dumb as heck, I could of told them they would of lost viewers.

Conan should goto FOX"

"Conan sucks a**, and always has. He dind't need time to build ratings, everyone knows who he is and what channel he was on and at what time.
But Conan can only get late late night ratings, not prime time late night ratings.

Why he got shiet canned, and Im glad to see him go.

And it was Conan who shiet canned Andy after a short time when he firt got on the air, as he didn't want to share the lime light. But soon as he needed more help with ratings, here comes Andy again.

Conan has no footing on the innocent pedestal."

Maybe Jay should have gotten Tiger Woods on his show right after he got caught with is pants down, so to speak... bet Jays ratings would have went up then!

Oh ya, that would have been phenomenal ratings wise. Whoever landed that interview would be the new king of late night.

The only members saying Conan sucks are probably the old farts and "fuddy duddies."

Not true, I don't consider myself a "fuddy duddy"!

At this point, I'd take Carson re-runs.

OUR72GTO · 01-27-2010, 03:22 PM

Ya ....69 was a very good year.

MrIcky · 01-27-2010, 03:24 PM

Well now that the excitement's over, I'm back to playing games and reading. I think Carson reruns are on E in the morning.

Zeus · 01-27-2010, 04:51 PM

Can't stand Letterman. He's on my short list with a Terrorist, French President and a Democratic speaker of the house who I'd most like to kill with a spoon.
