You would be too if you had been royally screwed like he was.

Then again he only had his entire crew move across the country, so yeah maybe he didn't have a lot of reason to be as pissed off as he has been.

As for the video though, it was good stuff. The host was a douchebag for the most part, thank god Andy took over.
 
Good stuff. Conan dealing with the host was pretty funny.

The only people that got screwed was the network. They put Conan in Leno's spot, and the ratings dropped into the sub-basement.

Conan is an over-rated, pretentious twit, whose "humor" is only appreciated by other pretentious twits.

The ONLY latenight talk host worth watching these days is Craig Ferguson.
 
he doesnt take himself seriously enough to even approach pretentious. leno is milquetoast fodder for geriatrics. conan rocks

While I will agree that the network's ratings went down (they had been in a steady decline however), and Craig Ferguson is the ONLY late night talk host worth watching...

I disagree about Conan being an over-rated, pretentious twit. I used to like Leno a lot but he's been going downhill for a while - he essentially turned into Oprah with monologues that consist of taking jabs at people instead of taking jabs and being funny about it.

Even letterman is better than Leno now, and that's something that would've made me want to punch you in the face if you said it a few years ago.

Conan did a good job, and he's definitely in 2nd place, although Ferguson is King.

Ferguson is good, but Conan rules.

Leno has always been a toolbag that steals his bits and jokes from Stern and other people..

Leno is not even funny..
 
I like Conan too but the Tonight Show situation was about BUSINESS. If Conan had been pulling down the numbers he'd still be the host of the Tonight Show.
 
Extremely awkward host, the guy was not mentally equipped in any shape or form to handle hosting the event. You could even see him get offended and try desperately to return jabs at O'Brien to an absolutely miserable failure, not to mention making things as awkward as possible every time he opened his mouth. Thankfully Conan pulled Richter on-stage as soon as the opportunity showed itself and that saved the rest of the show pretty much. Lots of subtle spite though between the host and Conan, alone making it worth watching.
 
This is why you never have a non-entertainment industry person interview someone from the entertainment industry. It's just awkward. Aside from that, funny stuff.

I might be the only one who enjoyed the completely uncharismatic host attempt to keep up with Conan. It was charming.

People go all sorts of ways on this issue, but as far as I'm concerned, my respect goes to Conan. In walking away from the network, he is the only party that retained any dignity whatsoever.

conan's humor just doesnt work with the 11:30 crowd.. was perfectly fine with the younger generation that watched him at 12:30.. its a mix of stoner humor and skit's.. something leno knows nothing about.. i give leno another 4-5 months as the tonight show host again and he will get the boot.. theres not many left of the older generation that gives a shit about him anymore.. he stopped being funny a long ass time ago..
 
The first mistake made by Letterman and Conan was to set the 'Tonight Show' on such a high pedestal that it would sting so much to lose it. The pedestal was really about Johnny Carson, and not the timeslot or the name of the show. That show's run ended when Carson retired. In terms of comedy, Jay Leno really has done nothing creative or interesting since he took on the show. Kimmel said it best, "..you know, at one time he was a comedian."
 
The Tonight Show was a waste of Conan's talent, now he is freed from the shackles of it.
 
i will only watch if Conan is able to bring back the masterbating bear, triumph the insult comic dog, and the year 2000....
 
The host was really an ass. Conan was pretty interesting and pretty funny.
 
Thanks for the video. Conan was damn funny.

You damn right. Everyone since has been praying to be half as good as Carson.

Carson was a good interviewer but not particularly funny. The best thing about Carson was what he did for young comedians careers. But as a personality, largely overrated.

Your user name says it all. "Get off my my lawn, you damn kids!"
 
i enjoyed the video, it got funnier towards the end
 
raise your hand if you think jay leno is funny..................




if the same comedy writer wrote the same lines for both Jay and Barack Obama, obama would be funnier.

If the network actually plugged his show, maybe he would have gotten the numbers. All I ever saw were Leno commercials.
 
I agree that Conan rocks, and yet I didn't see him on the Tonight Show once. Maybe that is why the numbers weren't great, his audience and fans don't care to watch network tv.

HEY, Leno is funny. As funny as Jimmy Fallon.

Oh BTW, Jimmy Fallon IS NOT funny.

Leno "is an over-rated, pretentious twit, whose "humor" is only appreciated by other pretentious twits"

The host stuck me as your typical middle management muppet--we're overflowing with them around here. I suspect any interaction with people not under his control would be equally awkward. You could tell the staff kind of enjoyed his discomfort.

Interesting video, can't see that being an easy gig.
