Leno wants his old late nite show back. The hell with Conan.



Link: http://www.examiner.com/x-11279-Howard-Stern-Examiner~y2009m11d2-Jay-Leno-wants-The-Tonight-Show-back


"Howard Stern won't be the slightest bit surprised. The King of All Media, who has been accusing Jay Leno of stealing material from the Howard Stern Show for both The Tonight Show and The Jay Leno Show has been predicting the failure of The Jay Leno Show from the beginning."

Leno's ratings are in the crapper. WTF should he expect if one of his first guests is OxyRush LameBoy?
You won't see me losing any sleep over it. And I don't care about Conan one way or the other but I
think it would make Leno look like a real schmuck if he bumped Conan out of the slot he's now in.

1. The little bit I've seen of Leno's new show
looks just like his Tonight Show material. I'm not surprised it's not doing well.

2. Fuck you Jay.
Hope you go back to being a 3rd rate comedian and just disappear. Your jokes are not funny. Bashing Gore was definetely not funny.

5. I don't think he had much choice.
NBC retired him from his late night show and offered him the 10pm slot instead. Leno didn't decide to move to 10. Now both Conan and Leno's ratings are crap and NBC has to figure out how to salvage the mess. Leno will do whatever they tell him to do. Conan doesn't have any options either.

9. Exactly
Leno will do what he is told. The only way to salvage the Tonight Show is dump Conan and bring Leno back. But now Leno is damage goods, it may be too late.

6. Jay has been pathetically un-funny for years and years.
Conan has more talent in his pinky than Jay has in his entire body.

11. Jay Leno is an asshole.
It was pretty pathetic what he did to Conan in the first place. Not to mention Dave Letterman several years ago.

12. They are both passe
If NBC can't get Letterman, they should go with someone like Stewart or Colbert... someone younger...

14. Something I just noticed in the TV listings ...



Jay's guests tonight will be Laura Boosh and daughter Jenna.

And Jay can't figure out why his ratings are in the toilet. :rofl:

15. I didn't watch Jay's old show much, and haven't seen his "new" show at all
but I say, let him do it. Put Jay back in his old time slot, and Conan back in his, and fire that piece of shit Jimmy Fallon.

I'll still watch Letterman either way, but it could only help NBC to do this.

16. Not only are Leno's show ratings in the crapper
He has pulled down other anchor programs. Law & Order had fans that would turn it on at 9:00 p.m. (his time slot) after the kids went to bed. They won't watch it at 8:00 p.m.

NBC screwed up royally.

"Selling Doritos on TV? What a fuckin' whore. And not even when he needed the money either, you know? If you're a young actor, I'll look the other way, but the guy makes $3 million a year, he decides to hock Doritos to make more money. You don't got enough money you fucking whore? You've got to sell snacks to bovine America now? It's Satan fucking him in the ass on national TV man . . . fuck . . ."
