My thoughts on Late Night fued

Unfortunately, due to my lack of free time, I never got to comment on the Conan-Leno controversy. Anyway…
Seriously NBC? Seriously? I’m great fan of late night shows and TV comedy in general. I watched Conan O’Brien when he was on Late Night, and I watched every single episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. I like his humor and sketches, and can most certainly call myself a great fan! Now, not to be unfair, I also watched sometimes Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, and some other comedy hosts, but Conan is the one who made me laugh the most. So, after just 7 months, NBC decided to screw him over, by giving Jay Leno his show back. They said it was due to low ratings. Yeah, business stuff… For those who are not familiar with this issue, this pretty much sums it up:

NBC decided to give this old grumpy multimillionaire, named Jay Leno, his own show, and to pass The Tonight Show to Conan O’Brien. This meant, moving entire families (O’Brien family, the whole Late Night crew and their families, and Band) from NY to LA. Unfortunately, ratings dropped for both shows, so big rich faggots at NBC, decided to switch time slots, by moving The Tonight Show after midnight, which would be weird, considering it’s no longer ‘tonight’. As a men of character and principle, Conan declined, stating it would devastate The Tonight Show, ratings would drop even more, and he would be forced to push a time slot of his successor, Jimmy Fallon, at The Late Night sometime after 1am. On the other hand, the old prick acted all surprised and innocent, as if there was nothing he could do about… emmm wait, how about QUITING? Normally, I wouldn’t be this harsh, but this guy is boooooooooooooring, his jokes lame and as far as I know, the only group of people who can stand him are senior citizens; also, he’s 60 at the moment, so he’ll be retiring soon. Only 7 months after hosting the show, Conan was forced to quit, spending most of the time in legal battles with NBC. At least he and his crew got $45m out of it…

In conclusion:

  • To guys at NBC: You’re are ignorant morons!
  • To Jay Leno: You old prick, I hope your ratings drop so low, that… oh wait, you’re on NBC right… never mind, it already came true…
  • To Conan, Andy and Max: Guys, I hope I see you soon. I really do hope you’ll do another show in September!
