Who should host the Tonight Show after Jay?

[Amasov]

Let's say Jay was pulled from The Tonight Show and NBC was faced with finding a new host, who do you think could do it? Conan would be off at TBS doing his own gig, but I even question if he would retake the job if it were offered to him.

Thoughts?

Carson Daly



Anyways...

Leno isn't going anywhere anytime within the next few years.

Hopefully everyone at NBC will be fired by then and a completely new late night line up will be announced. I'm hoping for a woman, like Lauren Graham. She would do an amazing job!

 

[T'Baio]

Brodie Bruce.

 

[Timby]

Honestly? Ellen DeGeneres.

NBC would never do it, but she'd be fantastic.

 

[auntiehill]

Oh, GOD no. She'd make the audience dance.

 

[Aragorn]

Simon Cowell

"You're here to promote White Chicks 2? Are you high? Did we leave some open cans of paint thinner in the back room?"

 

[Amasov]

Honestly? Ellen DeGeneres.

NBC would never do it, but she'd be fantastic.

I think that would be a great idea. I can't imagine her making the audience dance, because of the high-profile duty of hosting 'The Tonight Show,'

I seriously think that would be a fantastic idea. She would easily win the timeslot.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Conan.

Simon Cowell

"I don't do "skits" "

"Oh god, another boring musical guest"

"I don't do "jokes" "

 

[Owain Taggart]

Anderson Cooper
Craig Ferguson (Good stage presence)
Brent Butt (of Corner Gas, cause he'd be the butt of jokes, haha!)
Howie Mandel
Jimmy Kimmel
Neil Patrick Harris

Well, if the ratings keep on steadily declining like they have been for The Tonight Show, perhaps NBC will be looking for a new host sooner than they think...

 

[arch101]

Howard Stern But, he'd never do it

 

[auntiehill]

Craig Ferguson. He would definitely breathe some life into the old show.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I like Leno. I hope he stays with the show.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Craig Ferguson. He would definitely breathe some life into the old show.

Yeah, I agree. I like him quite a bit. Don't watch his show much because it's on so late, but I do like him. He'd be a good fit for the Tonight Show.

 

[Sheep]

Jeremy Clarkson.

 

[Cicero]

Neil Patrick Harris

I think I'd enjoy watching that Tonight Show. I was too young to watch Johnny Carson, so Conan's was the only late night talk show I've reliably enjoyed (Jimmy Fallon is often really fun, though he fails abjectly once per week).

 

[cardinal biggles]

I like Leno. I hope he stays with the show.

He's just as milquetoast as everything else that's still standing on NBC, so yeah, I guess he fits in.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Better to be milquetoast than mean / nasty, IMHO.

Yeah, that Conan was really mean to people.
