Yeah, but the thing is, Conan was stuck, not being allowed to refuse the job, hence why he went ahead and tore into it, along with so many of the late night personalities. NBC had him on contract, he was supposed to be Jay's replacement, but not until Jay decided to retire, or his ratings dropped. Instead, NBC decided to screw around at put in a "fresh face" for the show while it was still popular, and Jay still wanted to do it.

Conan didn't actually want the job the way he got it, but his contract with NBC had him locked, so yeah, that's still a hosing.

Oh I know..the heads that should really roll are the execs that made the change to start with..On the other hand Conan is still and always will be a clown and is just not the caliber of a host that the Tonight Show demands.

Eh, I mean, he seems perfectly happy with his later show, anyhow. Yeah, he's a clown, but then, he's never attempted to project himself as anything but

Hummm...well to each his/her own.

I've been a fan of the show since early Carson. I thought Leno was the wrong choice as his replacement but as time went by I saw he did carry on the traditional and that was good. I didn't find his jokes stale at all.

I watched the first 5 Conan shows but none since.

I'm hoping they go back to the old format they had before the switch..I may even buy a tv to watch it. :laugh2:
