watching network tv now is weird.  I like how the logo is way close to the middle of the screen for people who can't properly setup their TV.

[brawndolicious]

When does Conan have to leave, by the end of the week?

[The Fake Shemp]

I'd pay money to have Andy Richter pull her off stage with a giant cane.

[TakingBackSunday]

Conan doesn't have a set date to leave until NBC decides something

WOMAN COMEDIAN TALKING ABOUT MEN AND SEX AND SPORTS LOL

SO FUN KNEE

[The Fake Shemp]

This is the final nail in Conan's coffin.

[TakingBackSunday]

 

NBC: Well we loved what you were doing these past couple nights, you were showing some real great comedy chops.  And bringing in much better ratings!  But then Cummings came on.  You're fired.

[Himu]

Turned the channel. This is so bad. SORRY COCO!

[The Fake Shemp]

Letterman: "Now Carson Daly is going to have to get a show in Mexico or something."

[BlueTsunami]

Fallon with an NBC joke!

[drew]

this sounds really funny

will ninjavideo it later

part of the problem etc

[Himu]

Can someone link me to the videos where Carson Daly gets annihilated? Or just to the relevant episodes of whatever shows are being discussed in this thread?

Letterman: "We're going to invite Leno, Conan, Fallon and, uh, Carson Daly on the show. We'll get Carson Daly a folding chair or something."

That's for idiots who still have a 4:3 set.

I think the scuttlebutt is that Leno will take over after the Olympics, since the Tonight show usually gets pre-empted/goes into re-runs during the Olympics anyway.

Would that happen with the games in North America?

Vancouver is on the west coast, and as you should know by the transitive property of ESPN's MLB broadcast choices, only cities on the east coast exist.

[Flannel Boy]

They'll be showing curling instead of Conan.

probably get better ratings

[BlueTsunami]

That Ferguson interview with Richard Lewis was crazy

[ManaByte]

TMZ says Coco has a job offer:

Conan O'Brien finally has a job offer on the table when he blows off NBC -- a porno flick called "Conan the Boobarian." On Monday night's show, Conan said he'd like to "work in a classier business with better people, like hard-core porn" -- and it appears one "classy business" was listening. Adult film company Pink Visual sent Conan a letter officially offering the dude a job, saying there's a demand for "tall, lean, pale, male 'gingers' that have a David Caruso kind of thing going on." Let's see Leno snatch this one from him.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Richard Lewis is either insane or tries way too hard.

Best thing GAF has said about the whole thing in reference to Leno:

Excellent.

[Raban]

Holy shit, Conan and Gervais, lmao. I wonder if Conan has really been doing the show drunk now

[Raban]

So is Conan being REALLY awful in an attempt to get fired?

I wouldn't say his attitude comes off as rebellious. It's just nothing-to-lose Conan, akin to his strike beard period. But instead of being out of control in sketches, it's in his monologue and interviews.

[AdmiralViscen]

That Ferguson interview with Richard Lewis was crazy

I fell asleep

[Himu]

Holy shit. Howard Stern says he's going to be on Conan?

[The Fake Shemp]

That's pretty awesome, if true. Conan to be fired in record time!

[Himu]

So is Conan being REALLY awful in an attempt to get fired?

Why would they fire him? This has boosted ratings. Also, this has single-handedly made people pro-Conan and if Jay Leno takes the show he is DAMAGED GOODS and no one would watch. Conan is increasing his reputation while damaging Jay and NBC's at the same time and putting himself in public favor.

[Himu]

AHAHAHAHA NEVERMIND

But I've learned that it has now become clear to O'Brien's reps that Zucker wants to jettison Conan altogether and put Jay back at The Tonight Show at its usual starting time. So, to prevent O'Brien competing with Leno's attemps to lure back his late night audience, NBCU's Zucker has come up with this plot to "ice" Conan for the length of his NBC Tonight Show contract. It's dastardly, it's cowardly, and it could be damn effective. But there's no way Team Conan says it's going to let that happen. So now it's open warfare between NBC and O'Brien's reps.

[Eel O'Brian]

stern's not really behind conan or leno, on his monday show he said it was stupid to move conan to 11:30 vs letterman when conan couldn't even consistently beat ferguson at 12:30

[brawndolicious]

but stern does dislike leno.

[Eel O'Brian]

true

[fistfulofmetal]

watching conan right now. and fuck. he dont care anymore.

[fistfulofmetal]

apparently next week is conan's last week

[fistfulofmetal]

[ferrarimanf355]

Oh wow... 

[Himu]

I'm finally catching up on Letterman from last night.

omg He is killing it.

[TakingBackSunday]

Zucker needs to eat an infinite amount of dicks.

[Himu]

Dicks the size of Jay Leno's chin?

By the way,"Carson Daly's going to have to get a show in Mexico or something."

[TakingBackSunday]

[youtube=560,345]V-9gawf1JCk[/youtube]

listen to parts two and three as well

Stern and Rosie ETHERRRR

[CajoleJuice]

Stern: "Rosie's not a real fan of Jay's...."
Robin: "So who is a real fan of Jay's?"
Stern: "Shitheads."

[Eel O'Brian]

well, we can all at least be thankful jay leno saved the world from a rosie o'donnell hosted tonight show

[Himu]

Stern: "Rosie's not a real fan of Jay's...."
Robin: "So who is a real fan of Jay's?"
Stern: "Shitheads."

 

[The Fake Shemp]

I wonder if Zucker will let Conan go on the air with Stern.

[TakingBackSunday]

True, Eel, but it's always great to hear fellow comedians fucking rip him to shreds.

[Eel O'Brian]

are you going to send conan a special valentine's day bouquet wrapped in a scarf

[TakingBackSunday]

how did you know

[The Fake Shemp]

Man, Leno is killing himself with all this bad press, but it's nice to hear Stern say what I've been saying for days, that Conan's career is essentially over with this debacle. I think he should just move on to producing and writing, because you can't really recover from this.

[CajoleJuice]

I love everyone's Leno impressions.

You seriously believe this?  What about when Letterman decides to call it quits?

[Himu]

Speaking of, after the past few days, what is everyone's favorite Leno impression? I partial to Jimmy's, but Jimmy's has a crazy lisp.

[The Fake Shemp]

Conan isn't getting Letterman's show, and Letterman isn't retiring any time soon. Conan's alternatives is to way a year, maybe two, for Fox to get together just 60% of its affiliates to air his late night program - and get destroyed by Leno and Letterman, further destroying his market strength. Or he goes to cable, where no one fucking cares.

Even Stern thinks Conan will be thrown out before Stern can get in front of the camera.
