[QUOTE=w1z v2;19808457]The last week of TTS was the best ever. Spent over $80 million (?) I think of NBCs money on useless shit the best being buying the 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine that Bird and then spraying beluga caviar on a Picasso painting (not a real painting) and it cost them $65 million.[/QUOTE]
The painting wasn't the only thing that was fake.
Even the Veyron was loaned to the Tonight Show for free by a local museum.
Conan is a badass. Jay Leno is pretty much a prick. His ratings will drop after the first week...
Jimmy Fallon is the man though.
made a thread.

[QUOTE=ss1234;19816187]Words cannot describe how much I'll miss Conan. Someone like Conan doesn't need this to happen to him. He very much deserved hosting The Tonight Show after working for NBC for nearly [B]20 years[/B] (first worked with SNL, then Late Night, and the brief Tonight Show).
As he said in his final speech he himself believes that he has a lot to owe to NBC for his success. This is true, however NBC can't just go and screw over a host like that. It's just not right. Leno had his time to be host, and he has finished his run. There should be [U][I][B]NO[/B][/I][/U] reason whatsoever for Leno to try and reclaim that chair behind the desk. He should honor Conan's hosting.
This kind of stuff just depresses me. A man as brilliant as Conan gets screwed over is just sad. It was his life long dream to be on The Tonight Show. If I recall correctly, he said he grew up watching Johnny Carson and told himself that one day he would be the host.
I'm glad he at least got his wish come true even if it wasn't for long. 7 months and Conan was still happy to host the show. What a class act.
And well, the past 7 months has been great television I'll tell you that. Conan brought out the funny in everything, and he did the show in his own way making it unique and special. Something that should have lasted more than a decade only lasts for 7 months, and I guarantee you, [B][I]The Tonight Show will never be the same again.[/I][/B]
I'll wait for Conan to get back on TV, meanwhile [B]fuck you NBC and your big chinned geezer.[/B] I hope Leno's ratings drop. No one wants to watch a unfunny man trick his audience into laughing.
I grew up watching Leno, and barely watched Conan really. I never really liked Leno, but it was due to his time slot was the reason why I watched. I'd always be up at that time and watch. Soon enough however I began watching Conan, and from there I always watched him. Late Night with Conan was the best late night talk show ever I think.
Wherever Conan ends up next I'll be sure to watch.[/QUOTE]
I like conan as well but goddamn let it go.
Jay's TTS will go off the air quicker than Conans, and NBC will beg for Conan back. He won't come back, he'll do something far more awesome.
I JUST LOVE CONAN AND LATE NIGHT TV SO MUCH MY WHOLE LIFE REOLVES AROUND IT *puts gun in mouth*
[QUOTE=Smart Patrol;19816196]I like conan as well but goddamn let it go.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I know what you mean but really it's tough. Conan's talk show is the only one I ever watch on TV. It's comparable to when your favorite show gets canceled, or when you miss shows you haven't seen in years because they are off-air.
You will be missed Conando.
Anyone else saw the beginning of Jimmy Fallon? VERY classy of him.
[editline]06:08AM[/editline]
It's very likely that the rumors are true, and that he'll be on FOX in about 8 months from now.
Hey as long as I got Colbert I am good.
As long as Craig Ferguson is still playing, I'm happy.
Although, it is sad to see Conan go, he was my second favorite.

I respect Leno because he is a huge car enthusiast and cars are alright in my book.

What??
I never heard that Conan was off the air!!
That sucks...
I have no idea why [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=884355"]my thread[/URL] got locked, but anyways I don't think he'll go to fox I think that was just a rumor. Then again he can't go back to NBC can he? His options seem kinda limited.
I hope to see him some day doing his skit in front of a Seven-Eleven.

Because this thread was here first and there only needs to be one.
[QUOTE=ssa gib A;19804260]He's supposed to be coming with a new show in about 7 months.[/QUOTE]
Contract says he can't have his own show for 7 months. So around August he'll return.
I have watched Conan every night for about ten years now and all I can say is how the fuck can NBC do this to one of their employees that have been there since the late 80s? It's bullshit.
We will miss you masturbating bear
6 weeks later he is going to show up on fox.
Why have a show about Jay Leno when you can have a show that reviews Nike shoes? I would actually watch that.

Why have Jay Leno when you can have a sho that reviews Nike Air Jordans?

I have a tear in my eye and I don't even watch the show.

I like Jay better though, he had top ratings for years.
I watched the show. Conan is a god, a real class act to go out like that. Probably the best finale I've seen.
I hope he goes to Comedy Central so you guys get Daily Show -> Colbert -> Conan, then he can do a more unrestricted version of his show.
Also Jay Leno is really a living metaphor for what is wrong with America (unfunny pushy baby-boomer with a massive ego, kicking his friends out of jobs. His only 'comedy' was making people look stupid.)
