NBC seems clueless, but what else is new? The Leno show was never a good idea and the content sucks, its like the mangled wreck of the Top Gear abortion and a serious lack of content for shows. NBC has a huge love affair with Leno, so its not going to let him go, and I hope Conan leaves for Fox.
How sad the fall from the top. NBC used to be unstoppable with their winning Thursday night lineup. It's been downhill since the death of Seinfeld and Friends.

I can't believe they are putting their money on Leno. Dude is way pass his prime, but hey if Conan gets $100M AND gets a contract to go to Fox, then that's just fine and dandy.

Leno on the other hand should eat a mushroom pie infected with African fire ants (even though he does own an awesome car collection) because he wanted that new show/slot. Boo Hoo for it not working like you thought.

Who were the freaking braniacs that thought this was going to be a good idea?

What a terribly undignified way for Leno to go out.

No, I mean Leno. Even if he gets his old spot back, how long can he keep this up before he retires for good? This kind of bloodshed has to impact his ability to put on the "cheery face" and do small talk with guests.

(and by "good idea" I'm referring to prime time late night)

Ah Craig Ferguson is way funnier to watch than these two and Letterman. Now as for George Lopez Tonight, I've always enjoyed him on his sitcom and stand-up and I'm of Mexican descent but I can't watch his show for more than 5 minutes!

So Conan is complaining about going back to what was basically his old time slot?

The Tonight show wasn't working well basically because of Conan. He's not funny.

While I agree Conan has not been that good as of late,The Leno show is horrible and he has by far the worst monologue.

I also agree that Craig Ferguson is by far the best guy on late night comedy.

Craig is friggin hilarious! At first I was like, why is there a Scot on American tv, but he's really funny.
