I have to say, I gained a tremendous amount of respect for Jay Leno for doing this.
Take care all.

Well, to tell you the truth, I like Conan O'Brian better than Leno to begin with, and I really don't think that it's going to be too different...except the time slots. Other than that, it's probably going to be similar to Late Night With Conan O'Brian. I mean, sure there may be no more Max Weinburg and the MW Seven and there will be different writers, but Conan basically does the show with his own humor and throws in some things that Jay Leno doesn't. I think it will be fine, IMO.
But I did like Jay to an extent, and I am kinda sorry to hear it.
I always liked Leno's show more than O'Brien's. But Conan has a better personality.
Leno's monologue is really the best in the business...but Conan has those hilarious skits(who can forget that infamous Comic the Insult Dog with those Star Wars fans?).
I don't care too much either way, since when I'm in school I never stay up late enough for either of them.
The thing I didn't like was out Conan O'Brien kept bitching about it. He's 41 years old for christ's sake, I wouldn't whine like that if I was half my age. A guy twice my age acts less mature than someone half my age. Unbelievable. It's not like Leno wasn't working behind Carson before he took the job.
Leno is a ratings machine, Conan is not. While Conan is more popular with the younger generation, the majority of the viewers like Leno more...but granted, he is on an earlier timeslot.
So it's good that conan will get the slot, but that's 5 years down the line, hopefully he won't turn as bad as David Letterman's show. Once these 12:35 slotters take an hour earlier, they usually never have the same show. Anyone will tell you Letterman was better when he was on after Johnny Carson.

Max has to be on the show. They have such great chemistry.
*Conan says something*
*Max just stares*
:D?
First Andy, then Max. I'm going to cry.
They're not getting rid of Joel too, are they?
lol signature
Word on the wire is that Max will come along with Conan. Besides, it's 5 years away, so I wouldn't be surprised if Joel comes as well because the current announcer may be retiring by then on the Tonight show.
I have to disagree with you Dingo on the Letterman bit. Leno has become too tame for my taste while Letterman is still the cranky SOB he's always been. There's a reason his show wins all the awards, and is beginning to catch up to Leno again.
Don't get me wrong, Jay Leno is probably one of the classiest guys out there, but watch any of his routine from the 1980's and you'll see that he's definitely lost his hard edge, which to me, is what made him so very funny.
The other rumor out there is that Jon Stewart will Conan's spot after the Tonight show, but I have really mixed opinions about that too.
Take care all.
I don't know what to think about this. Im not happy Leno is leaving, even if it is five years from now. He, in my opinion, is FAR superior to Conan, and the show just won't be the same with Conan there. Conan is funny, and I like his show, but he doesn't even compare to Leno.
Conan O'Brien deserves it! He's a great host, and far funnier than Leno. His show is great! Hopefully he'll bring over some of the writers with him. They created some awesome characters over the course of Latenight...like Triumph. And Walker Texas Ranger? Genius!
I will have a fit.Originally Posted by The Captain
Jon is not "late-nite" material. He's a political comedian. They don't do well on late-nite TV. Look at Bill Mahr. :rolleyes2
SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
I'm happy, because I've always liked Conan more then Jay. However, 5 years is a ways away...
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
the Carson Daily show sucks! It probably won't even be around five more years. At least, I certainly hope not.
Of copurse not. Carson Daily will be working at McDonald's in five years. His career is basically in the crapper already.
Well, more so than it was before.
