    Conan O'Brien to be replaced by Jay Leno?

    Must be bassackwards day.

    The nutsacks at TMZ are reporting that NBC is woefully disappointed with Conan's ratings--due in no small part to Leno's horrible lead-in numbers--and are considering putting Leno back on at 11:30. Either he would have a half-hour show from 11:30 to 12, which sounds extremely asinine, or he'd replace Conan outright. Less than a year into Conan's tenure.

    Re: Conan O'Brien to be replaced by Jay Leno?

    I'll be the first to admit that Conan's monologues are dreadful but it is a tired routine anyway. None of the late night shows have good monologues. However literally everything Leno does is unfunny and it's been that way for years. At least Conan has good interviews and extremely good "out of studio" bits.

    Looks like Leno will take back the Tonight Show after the Olympics are over in February.

    Sucks to be Conan, I like him but I hardly ever watched the Tonight Show. I'm tired of Leno. I'm also tired of Letterman but between the 3 of them he's my favorite.

    I beat you by nine minutes but I foolishly put my thread in the general OT forum instead of here, so I'll just tuck it in with yours.

    I kind of feel for Conan.

    I wish they would've never made the switch, though. Conan was good @ what he did. He gives awesome interviews. When he moved to TNS, he seemed to calm it down...and it sucked.

    I never saw him Show when he took over for Jay, but his late late show was very good IMO. And I agree with Mamba.. a lot of stuff he would have had on Late Late show would have to be toned down.. which would have made his show lame.

    Leno and Letterman are ABSOLUTE SHIT. Fallon is painful to watch, except some of the interviews. The only late night show I watch is The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson.

    Howard Stern called this way before it happened. Conan was in a no win situation. Sucks for him...except he's going to get paid regardless. He should pack up and move to another network.

    Did he really? What was his reason?

    Yeah, Conan will probably wind up on ABC or something.
