I think it would be hella-awesome if Leno AND Conan left NBC. nm

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Jan 13 '10, 09:08

Course, that could pave the way for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon!!!

Jonathan Ross is available in July. -- nm - LMS Jan 13, 09:16 2
- Hmm....I can't see NBC spending huge money on him. -- nm - Remlik Jan 13, 09:26 1
  - Exactly he'll be cheap. Maybe Conan can come over here in exchange. -- nm - LMS Jan 13, 09:40
Note to Popeater: Conan didn't say he was leaving NBC. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 13, 09:12 12
- His statement didn't say he's leaving but it's been pretty clear from those in the know that he's gone if they do this. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:15 11
  - The point is: If Leno goes home, then Conan doesn't have to. No way both leave. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 13, 09:18 3
    - yup, while I wouldn't blame Conan for leaving anyway, no way he puts his contract at risk, imho -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 09:19
    - If Conan stays short-term, I expect him to be gone upon completion of the current contract. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:18 1
      - that would not surprise me in the slightest. -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 09:31
  - Right, but if they don't, he may stay. And if they lose Leno, there's no chance on earth they change a thing. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:16 6
    - Its a no-win situation for Jay or Conan at this point though - eag Jan 13, 09:21 4
      - Conan's the aggrieved party here. If he stays at 11:35 on NBC he absolutely wins. -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 09:27 1
        
        Only if he ends up out rating David - eag Jan 13, 09:31
      - Conan ain't coming out of this looking bad in any shape way or form given his statement yesterday. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:22 1
        
        Well they can always leave things status quo - eag Jan 13, 09:25
    - Right. I just wonder when the executive who pulled this stunt gets fired. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:18
FWIW, Fallon has been far better than I expected on his show, honestly. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:08 13
- I think he's nearly unwatchable. Although it doesn't matter since Craig Ferguson is on and there's no reason to watch anyone else. -- nm - pmb Jan 13, 09:22
- He's ok but he isnt ready to be given the keys to the kingdom aka The Tonight Show -- nm - eag Jan 13, 09:13 5
  - oh hell no. you're absolutely right. but, less awful than it would seem on its face. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:14 4
    - Let's also remember, Conan was abysmal his first year or two on his first night-show. - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:16 3
      - There should almost be a minor league for talk show hosts. A Venezuelan winter league. - TFox Jan 13, 09:17 2
        
        Jim's got it right. - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:21
        
        There is...it's called Late Night on NBC. -- nm - Jim Jan 13, 09:19
- Wait, someone actually watches that? - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 13, 09:12 4
  - I did one night - eag Jan 13, 09:14
  - I've seen some of it. I got intrigued when he played Ivanka Trump in beer pong (and got wrecked). -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:13 2
    - mmmmm.... Ivanka Trump -- nm - Guy Jan 13, 09:18 1
      - She's the one thing you and I will always agree on. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:18
- And it keeps him from attempting more movies. *WIN! -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:12

- In the unlikely event that they both did actually leave, I do think Ferguson and even Carson Daly would be favored over Fallon. -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 09:22
- YES!!!! -- nm - Jim Jan 13, 09:15
