With that press release, Leno just got kicked in the teeth. - Will Hunting Jan 12, 13:03 10
- Leno has to be pushing this. To make this end all he has to do is say that he's cool with all the money he's got and he's not going to go elsewhere. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 13:08 1
  - But. but, but... There's this really super rare old car I need! -- nm - Leno Jan 12, 13:09
- I'm sure Conan felt betrayed by Leno. nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:06
- I think it's a mix of both. NBC effed up by pushing Leno out and now they have to eat from Leno and Conan. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 13:05 6
  - yeah, no matter what one of them has to be gone. -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 13:06 5
    - yeah one of them is going to be gone no matter what. But who do you keep? Leno with his aging demo that no network wants.... - Remlik Jan 12, 13:09 4
      - Conan. Conan has so-so ratings, but deserves a chance to make the show his own. Leno took the Tonight Show format to 10pm and bombed. - TWuG Jan 12, 13:11 3
        
        If they dump Conan they're going to have to go through all this again in a few years when Jay's really ready to go. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 13:22
        
        Yeah it bombed at 10pm but dominated at 11:30p.... -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 13:16 1
        
        To be fair, a large part of his "domination" at 11:35 was due to the hype leading up to his leaving. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 13:18
That press release makes Conan the sympathetic character here. It hurts Leno a *lot*. -- nm - David Jan 12, 13:02 1
- Conan is the sympathetic character here. NBC made promises to him to keep him there. Leno could have been sympathetic here because he essentially - pmb Jan 12, 13:07
It's the right thing to do. Which means NBC will do everything but. -- nm - TWuG Jan 12, 13:01
I like how that statement made a move to 12:05 seem like the dumbest move in the History of Television -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 13:01 1
- Well, they ARE trying to move the "tonight" show to tomorrow... -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 13:12
