This show is coming to an end on Friday. Surprised literally nobody on this site is saying a word. I expected more comments. Conan will get a huge pay of money as will his staff. And next week will be reruns and he can go have his own show elsewhere in September.

I just read that NBC had made it official...

Bah, I don't find Jay Leno funny at all, sad to see Conan go, but I don't think he will have a problem getting a new job in September..

Jay Leno is crap. Conan is orders of magnitude better.

Now that's what I was waiting to see on here

He could have gone with what NBC offered but decided to run with the money. He could have even kept the Tonight Show but eh, it's all old news now.

Ugh, I just - I don't get their rationale in bringing him back. Like, if his new show was doing bad, what makes them think bringing him back to late night will make the ratings so much better? It boggles the mind. I dunno. I don't really make a habit of watching Conan anyway, though if I have the chance I'll tune in to it. Bah.

TEAM COCO

Jay Leno can rot.

It's not really surprising. Can't blame Jay for this. It's NBC's own fault by turning into FOX and canceling so many shows during the 10pm slots Jay will do ok in the later slot as he's always done. Anyways, NBC is stupid...

i like em both, and they will probably be back on the air in september conan's show. nbc really are retarded people.
i wonder if conan's staff ever noticed they did the
1.5m$ and 4.8m$ before/after requesting money for ben stiller's charity

Exactly. This is NBC's fault.

Jay said on TV a week back or so that NBC came to him in 2004 and told him that other networks wanted Conan with offers and they wanted to give him the Tonight Show. Jay said "well I am number 1" and they said "we don't think you can keep it number 1 for the next 5 years". Then Jay said "can't you just wait until I'm number 2 then cancel me?" They said No so Jay said I guess I'll just say I'll retire from it to avoid a hastle They were dead set on Conan having the Tonight show pretty much sums up what Jay said.

5 years go by. Jay is still number 1. He leaves. He still has 6 months on his contract. And like anybody else when you have been tired, you woudl at least like to be out of your contract. He said he asked but NBC refused and said lets put you on prime time then. Jay said it would never work and would fail and that was a bad idea. NBC said otherwise. So they did that.

Summer goes by. Conan starts loosing to Dave Letterman and tied in the demo during the summer. Lost 50% of the audience just over the summer.

Jay comes on, doesn't do that much difference. Pulls in similar of his old Tonight Show numbers.

Hence comes the problem. The affiliates get really mad. And fit hits the shan so NBC pulls the plug on the Jay show to be done Feb 12th.

BUT Jay said that he wanted out of his contract again since they now fired him twice from a show so he coudl do whatever. NBC refused again. Next idea

Put Jay on at 11:35 for a half hour show Put Tonight Show Conan on at 12:05. Fit hits the shan again. Conan says no no no I would rather leave first, says Tonight show is suppose to be at 11:35 but found out that is not even written in the contract for a specific time. NBC had the "right" to do that on paper.

I think we all know what happens after that.

That's about the most non BS way I can explain that. Which is better than what some of these "team coco" and "team jay" and team Twilight crap people are saying.

All in all. Who is to blame? NBC.

I've never liked Leno a great deal but did watch sometimes.

I did watch Conan's last show tonight and except for the music and his farewell speech at the end it wasn't a good show.

Steve Carell gave Conan an exit interview that was almost funny, Tom Hanks was on also but not entertaining.

CONAN ALWAYS RULES (and so does Tom Hanks)

I'm just amused at all these stark raven fans who have turned in to spammers and a load of rude people who magically came out of the woodwork to support this guy. Hell, David Letterman was beating him OVER THE SUMMER. even in many of the demos that he was SUPPOSE to do well with.

You support your shows by watching them not whining. That's my rant for the day.
