    Same. I like Jay Leno too though. The rest suck. Especially Jimmy Fallon.

    Jimmy Fallon sucks epicly. I mean, talk about a formulaic, repetitive talk show.

    Coco wins though.

    I should probably know whats going on, but I don't so I'll ask.

    I like when Jay does "headlines" but I don't really think any of his other bits are all that funny. Conan on the other hand, is pretty consistently funny so I'm throwing my support behind him.

    I'm with Team "In-the-Backdrop-Watching-With-Glee-at-the-Ridiculously-Hilarious-Battle-Whilst-Munching-on-Popcorn-While-Not-Giving-a-Damn". I have loyalties to that group ever since I joined during the Twilight Edward vs. Jacob craze :p

    I actually enjoy both Conan and Leno, both having their funny and not-so-funny moments. So personally as long as I can still watch both perform, I really don't care what happens.

    Are you asking us now? What happened is NBC affiliates got mad at NBC for having the Jay Leno show before the local news. A lot of affiliate stations ended up having lower ratings as a result of the show. So, NBC is deciding to move Jay Leno to be after the news again, this time in a 30 minute show. This would push Conan back 30 minutes, Jimmy back 30 minutes, and probably would cancel Carson Daly (though I may be wrong about this).

    Conan is opposed to this shifted schedule, as he does not think The Tonight Show should be moved from the same time it has been at for the pasts several decades (at least since Carson hosted the show, I think). This could result in Conan leaving NBC if his show is moved back and he can find a way out of his contract.

    Hope this makes sense and helps. Bedtime...

    I don't really dig those variety talk show kind of things. Conan's obviously got some comedy chops and has a distinguished career as a writer, but I don't find him particularly funny

    I have no idea who these people are...

    Eliminate all of 'em, and give Stephen Colbert their jobs.

    Living in Scotland, this is news to me. I voted for team who because although I know who these people are, I don't really care I'm afraid.

    Although, something does seem wrong about moving a show from a timeslot it's used for decades. Like over here, when they cancelled the news at 10, and then brought it back, but not at 10, it wasn't anywhere near as popular.

    I voted Leno, but if this had been an option then I would have gone for this.

    (Or Ricky Gervais)

    I'm good with him making hilarious films that apparently are created only for an audience of me, because I go into them on opening day and there are a maximum of two or three other people in the theater, despite how awesome Ghost Town and Invention of Lying are.

    Also, I think NBC is being pretty idiotic as of late, and they could end up losing both guys over this.

    As long as they leave Chuck alone... *gives evil eye to NBC* Don't even THINK about it, NBC. I see you thinking about it. Stop it. Stop. It.

    Pffft, give it to Bill O'Reilly, he's always cracking me up

    I'm with Conando, NBC screwed everything up by giving Leno a new show without letting Conan's Tonight Show find it's audience, 7 months wasn't nearly enough time.

    Also, thanks for the new TF2 spray!

    Leno sucks.

    He also has a RIDICULOUS car collection.

    I can't hate on a guy who knows and loves his cars.
  • edited January 2010
    I can.

    Dang, what a showoff.
  • edited January 2010
    He's probably spent maybe an hour in each of them in his life. What a waste of those cars.

    Only guy who's worse would probably be Seinfeld, but I can't hate someone who brought us "The Contest"

    I am definitely a Conan fan. I would rather see him stay at 11:35.
