I'm a clear Conan fan, though I didn't often stay up late enough to watch his Tonight Show. I always enjoyed it whenever I saw it. I loved his final episode, and his speech at the end really hit something close to home - I actually cried. He was such an incredible class act and I am sure his career will continue in a good direction (and that I'll be watching.)

LOL. A high school acquaintance overdubbed Leno's "Get Back" ad with a more fitting song. It's apparently gone viral, even got picked up by HuffPo.

I'm a creep

For those who don't know, Conan now has a Twitter feed.

I bet NBC didn't say anything about not being allowed to Twitter.

Seeing as he's twittering, I don't think anyone will bet against you.

The concept of my post worked much better in my brain...

According to Today in LA NBC wants to forget the Conan O'Brien debacle and return to 2009 where Leno was #1 in late night.

Bastards.

I view every guest on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno as a Benedict Arnold. First up: Jamie Foxx

So, NBC was making money with Leno and wasn't making as much with Conan (me making a presumption based on anecdotal information - I will retract should someone provide facts to the contrary), not to mention the flack they were getting from the affiliates. They want to return to making more money. How does this make them bastards?

Financially speaking, dropping Leno for O'Brien was a mistake. They are correcting the mistake. I doubt that anybody at NBC WANTED things to turn out the way they did for Conan, but sometimes, difficult decisions need to be made.
