Since I am on my soap box this morning, lets talk about Conan O’Brien. I have always enjoyed his intellect versus Jay Leno’s stupid and thoughtless chin. Conan’s shows have always made me laugh.
The new “Tonight Show” host is totally getting screwed after NBC’s abrupt decision to cancel Leno at 10 pm and reinstall him at Conan’s 11:30 pm slot. TOTALLY!!!
If I were Conan I would leave NBC and got to FOX and beat the ratings crap out Leno. Think about it, Leno’s audience is older, much older than Conan’s. Hell, half of Leno’s fans will be dead in a couple of years, so Leno market share will go down by natural attrition. And please do not tell me that the audience segment of 55 plus is what advertisers are hoping to catch.
Conan O’Brien rep Leslee Dart last night said only that “Conan has made no decisions yet.” Please Conan, leave NBC!

I thought the same thing last night.
What a pile of crap.
Short-term thinking.
Leno – old
Leno fans – old
Letterman – old
failed late night hosts – many
to risk losing Conan for short-term success – idiotic
to think a Leno-type program would work outside of Late Night – stupid
expect a big payoff to Conan (at least the offer) or a big sendoff as he goes elsewhere… perhaps the Bananaverse?! Hash Night with Conan O’Brien?

If I could afford Conan, I would have him on Dive Bar Radio…
