Shit was that tonight? Just tuned in.
His efforts to make pretend expensive unfunny skits is kind of annoying. 1) There are much funnier and eccentric ways to pretend to blow millions of dollars. 2) Even if it was real, he could at least just make sure people benefited... like the people in Haiti... or the millions of out of work viewers.

Thought this may have bizarrely been a thread on some Conan the Barbarian sequel/threequel/quartupal

Been reading up on this whole Leno/Conan case. $44million dollar redundancy package right? TV is mental.

Don't be cynical, it will get you nowhere in life. - Is advice I'm going to think about.
Respect for not firebombing his NBC bridge.

im trying to understand this whole situation.....

is conan getting cornholed because of low ratings?  why didnt team coco just watch the show so he could get good ratings and not get cornholed (as opposed to kissing his ass on the way out the door)?  did jay leno have equally shitty ratings 7 months after he took over?  is this even about ratings? just what the fuck is going on?!

i like conan more than leno, but im not getting all upset over crap on TV.

most of the people in team coco were people like me that watched most nights, the ratings went up because people who weren't watching heard about team coco.

conan's getting cornholed because jay changed his mind and zucker decided to screw him out of the tonight show. jay wasn't supposed to have five nights a week at 10pm, because that would drop local news ratings enough for them to pre-empt with reruns of oh let's say friends and seinfeld and dateline. when the local news ratings drop so do later ratings. jay's show tanked, local news ratings took a dive, and jay's audience never switched to conan because jay was on earlier. zucker loves jay because zucker is the peter principle exemplar, and conan respected carson and letterman too much to fall for the dick move of starting the tonight show tomorrow morning. and still, jay didn't tell zucker to drop it.

that's pretty much where it falls for me.

I think it is hilarious if NBC is actually having to pay millions for this shit.

Come on, the Veyron penis is pretty good and the Kentucky Derby winner watching restricted NFL content without the express written consent of the NFL is fuck*ng classic.

I don't really appreciate the significance of a lot of this but it has made Letterman's monologues funnier.

Rumor has it that the reason Leno is still on the air and Conan is not is because Leno's got a $150 million poison pill in his contract, so Conan's buyout was cheaper.

But whether that is true or not this was just a series of astonishingly bad decisions, and Leno hasn't been funny since he replaced his testicles with NBC money.  His greatest current skill is being non-offensive.
