Love Conan, but I'm not sure he has a place in feature films, at least in front of the camera.

I can't imagine late night without Conan…Fuck you Jay Leno.

Fuck NBC and fuck Leno. And fuck Craig Ferguson too. And Carson. Fuck late night TV. Wait, Jimmy is at least mildly entertaining.

NBC fucked themselves and Conan good on this one. too bad. Conan deserves the Tonight Show spot. only old fucks and retards watch Leno. theres no one to take over now once Leno leaves, which isnt soon enough.

Nothing But Cunts.

Conan will do alright ratings-wise elsewhere, but thrive creatively away from those douchebags at NBC. The Tonight Show was just too tarnished from Leno and NBC now. It's passe. Leno and NBC deserve each other. Like Louis CK said, Conan is better off just being Conan and creating his own legacy, Letterman-style.

Dollhouse should return for season 3 with Conan running shit in the house.

This news pisses me off even more than I was last year. The whole Jay Leno show was a joke from the beginning, and NBC showed how stupid they are by canceling great shows like Pushing Daisies to make way for a bloated, not funny Jay Leno on for way too long in prime time. NBC has lost it completely.

@Lumber Dick hahahahaha nice

Conan should use this free time to write a couple of episodes of the Simpsons. Lord knows they need some talent.

Stupid is as stupid does. People really are idiots nowadays; I liked Jay, I really did, but after this whole thing, it makes me wonder why he's even around and why he moved to 10 and now back to his Tonight Show gig. It's almost like NBC just wanted to test the 10 o'clock slot, see if it worked, and if not, just put Jay back; which, obviously they did. Stupid cunt faggots.

Conan is hilarious, magical, and wonderful. He is a bright spot when it comes to comedy and I hope and wish him well, once he moves on from the Tonight show. He truely is a great guy who deserves every good thing that comes his way.

Pushing Daisies was ABC, not NBC. But yes, NBC has lost it completely.

bring back Kilborn!!!!

conan will go back to writing for the simpsons and he will make it good again. youll see.

NBC is shit, and I'd boycott them but they're still running two of my favorite shows right now, 30 Rock and Office. Conan should go to Fox. Going back to the Simpsons would be a step backward. Simpsons needs to end, anyway. I'm just bored to death with it.

Leno will fail just like he did with his own show. Then they will ask Conan to come back, but by that time he will already have success in the endeavors he has. Thus shoving a middle finger straight up their asses as he walks away.

I haven't had this much fun since The Gong Show got cancelled when they still had shows left to tape and the already wild show went buck wild. We used to skip class to watch it. There would be 100 people in the student center lounge to watch every day.

Time to write that Lookwell movie

More like time to blow $32.5 million on hookers and cocaine.

I'm sure the 200 people Conan put out of work by saying no are thrilled that at least he got 32 million. Fuck Leno and Fuck O'Brien both.

Well maybe FOX will be a better fit for Coco's brand of humor?

Hey, #20, Conan spread something like $13 million around in severance pay for his staff. There are also reports that he's using some money out of his own pocket to spread even more around. Yeah, fuck him. What a jerk, standing up for principle AND making sure his staff got compensated.

Total justice if the Tonight Show fails even more.

NBC is the new FOX – when things were going good they managed to fuck things up and when things are going bad they make them even worse. I personally like Leno but he honestly should have jumped ship after handing over the reins to Conan – the money is the only thing that kept him there.

This whole shift was based on NBC's 5-year ago prediction of Leno's ratings eventually dropping at 11:35 (which they hadn't) and Conan being able to fill Leno's shoes (which he didn't). Introducing the ten o'clock spot to keep Leno on NBC was the real problem. He wouldn't go away, and why should he? People love him. His old audience was still seeing him, but in an inconvenient time slot. Coco will never be bland enough to convince Jay's crowd. For us old school fans, Conan at 11:35 was still not quite right. IMHO, Coco should have accepted the 12:05 slot, if only to stay on the air, and to reduce Big Chin to a half hour only (still a poor lead-in). In the current scenario, I'm reminded that he probably should have never been hosting a mainstream talk show at all. Letterman and Ferguson are better celebrity interviewers, but for comedy sketches, Conan and his writers can't be beat. Go to Comedy Central, Adult Swim, or back to the Simpsons. To attempt a new late night talk show (at FOX or wherever) seems like pissing in the wind.

but Jay's ratings and money he brought is had been slipping. down 15% and only bringing in 25 mill a year. now they expect him to do better than he was before he left and bring in enough to pay off the Coco debt….wont happen. NBC is in real financial trouble, this will only increase their debt further.

America's lust for mediocrity continues. Leno is a hack and he knows it. He'll never be respected and will never let go until they throw him out.

this is unimaginably stupid.. so they're banking on a failing show to do better at a worse time slot? Conan is a funny guy, Leno is not. Conan always has more options in the world of comedy (writing, skits etc) can't wait for his eventual (bearded?) return..

You guys are aware that Conan's ratings were ASS right? Oh he was just about to turn the corner about 8 months. Christ people get a grip. NBC had to pay Leno a helluva lot more money out than Caca. It was a no brainer which one left. Oh yeah and Jay was only #1 in the ratings for like 15-16 fucking years. I'd love to see the network programming some of you jackasses would shovel out..

Dumb Nuts, YOU are aware that Leno took two years to get his ratings up to what they were right? And that they went to the shitter when he first took the show from Carson right? And that 2 years is a significantly longer time than 7 months right? Of course you are.

If I'm not mistaken, it took Leno a couple of years to get to number one. The gave him a chance. Conan only got seven months, four of which were hurt by Leno's lame show that moved from 11:30 to 10:00 (really, he used to be funny, now he just reads the easy shot type jokes.) Then you add to the mix that Letterman had all kinds of stuff happening on his show this season…the battle between him ands Palin, the sex scandal, etc. Based on the fact that the NBC heads are hellbent on going further down Leno's show will probably not do so hot. And Conan will be back…and he'll get to the top in time. The thing that sucks is he won't have the characters or bits that now belong to NBC….No in the year 2000, no maturbating bear, no Walker Texas Ranger clip, or Preparationg H Reymond. But he will be back and I predict that he'll pass Leno.
