Holy crap, so people really do watch Leno?

Looks like NBC is screwing the pooch yet again on this one.

How do these nincompoop execs get paid so much for #$%*ing stuff up royally?

I guess the veracity of 30 Rock isn't that far off afterall...  ::)

imho, I thought Leno was better when the writers went on strike.

I watched the Tonight Show for the first time last night since this whole thing blew up, and I have to say while it's kind of funny what Conan is doing on the show during his last week, it's also coming across as very immature and undignified.  Of course I guess that's kind of his whole schtick, but I think he should stick more with the tone he set in the open letter that he wrote to NBC when this first came to light.

Leno's a twit and just needs to retire and drive his 342 cars and m'cycles around... can't change your mind like that and screw everyone else on t.v.....what a diva...!!

I can't believe Conan ever got the slot in the first place.  I don't particularly enjoy Leno, but he seems a lot funnier than Conan to me.

Coco was way better on Late Night when he could run stuff like masturbating bear.

That kind of stuff just wouldn't fly on the Tonight show.

Craig Ferguson is the best, came out of all of this better too. Conan is too edgy for 10:30, Jay is just lame, and Dave picking on Jay just shows he's still sore about loosing the Tonight Show years ago to Jay.

Who the hell can stay up that late anyway???  Never liked any of them, and seemed to be a waste of electricity.  Although I must admit, I liked Carson the best.
