O'Brien out, Leno back in?

[JacksonArcher]

If they fire Conan I might just never watch an NBC program ever again.

 

[Captain Crow]

Instead of shifting everything a half hour later so Leno can have a show why don't they just get rid of that tool Carson Daily and give Leno that time slot?

Because Leno doesn't want that time slot, no one does.

Conan isn't doing well so they hope Leno will bump all the numbers up a little or something.... god knows what the fuck NBC is doing.

if nbc had listened to their affiliates this stupidity would never had happened.

I didn't think any network could be stupider than FOX...

Yes. The #2 network. What a bunch of morons.

They canceled some Whedon shows. Don't you know that makes them the [highlight]WORST NETWORK EVER!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?111![/highlight]

How much of this is pure speculation instead of actual fact? It seems everyone here is treating this like it will happen when we really don't know what the real deal is behind all this.

Nothing But Crap.

NBC = NoBody Cares

Nuke British Columbia

Random!

NBC = Now Behind CW

Fox ain't got no game. #2 is just "First Loser"


NBC = Not Best Choice

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

Does anyone watch Leno's show? I don't have TV so I haven't seen it, but what is so bad about it? Isn't it basically just the Tonight show at 10:00?

I wonder if comcast can turn NBC around at all when they complete there part of the stock purchase.

Pretty much...I think the time slot hurts him. From the shows I have seen...it seems the same.

This is why Conan is being shown the door....

O'Brien is averaging 2.5 million nightly viewers, compared with 4.2 for Letterman's "Late Show," according to Nielsen figures. And the younger audience that O'Brien was expected to woo has been largely unimpressed, with O'Brien and Letterman's shows tying among advertiser-favored viewers ages 18 to 49.

Interesting. Anyone catch that last quip about liking the "leno and Conan go into a pit with sharpened sticks, the one who makes it out gets to leave NBC" being appealing.

 

[Aragorn]

Leno had a joke about this that ended with, "I hear the weather is nice at Fox this time of year."

Conan makes $25 million a year, according to the article. And NBC will have to pay him a $40 million penalty if he is forced out as host of "The Tonight Show." It's in his contract.

I'd leave if I were him then.

"We remain committed to keeping Conan O'Brien on NBC."

Notice they didn't say "We are committed to keeping Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show".

 

[Mr Light]

They should just revert to the old Leno/Conan schedule. Ditch Jimmy Fallon! I can never watch Conan now because he runs against Colbert. 'Course I'm usually asleep by then anyway now...
