I meant to see at least part of it, but then I forgot. :D
-
When I heard Kanye "Asshole" West was going to be on it, I made the executive decision to disavow this show until further notice.
-
I barely watch Conan. And I like Conan.
-
I would, but I watch good shows at 10, like Sons of Anarchy, Top Chef, and It's Always Sunny. Tonight, Lil' Jimmy Norton premieres.

My understanding is that Leno bitch slapped him about the VMAs.
-
I saw part of it tonight. Jay's jokes are strong as usual but that Uninvited Guest guy was kinda weak. Then it was Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. I'd rather not look at the latter if I don't have to, she's irritating. Tom Cruise, I like in his movies. IRL Tom, I'll pass on. I changed the channel after that and never bothered putting it back.
-
Isn't it basically đe Tonight Show, but an hour and a half earlier?
-
It seems like he does stuff like Jaywalking and Headlines at the end of the show. Whenever I'd watch TNS, I'd usually watch the first half hour or so and then change the channel because I didn't care about the guests. Now I have to change it earlier because it's a looser format. Therefore, I declare it inferior to TNS.
-
Forget that - Headlines was the only reason I watched. :razz:
-
Yeah, I didn't want to wait until the end and I don't regularly watch news at 10:00 on that channel, so screw catching the last few minutes. I'd probably be watching or doing something else anyway.
-
I saw part of Leno again today. Holy crap, Jay's monologues are comic sweetness but then he's got to stuff the show full of boring guests and stupid skits. He had some Jaywalk All-Stars thing with three of the Real Housewives from Orange County. Never mind they weren't on the street so I don't know how it's "Jaywalk" but it was staged and TERRIBLY. These chicks are housewives and not actresses for a reason. It was so painful I had to change the channel. (Also, one really fucked up her face in terms of plastic surgery. What a monster to look at.)
Jay doesn't have much in terms of real guests. It's like he begged all of his celebrity friends to cameo on the show thus the desperation oozes through the tv. Jay should bring in stand-up comics to perform a few minutes and have a musical guest or two play for the show. Or his show could also devote segments to NBC bloopers (from all of the other shows). Do SOMETHING with that hour instead of fingering your ass, Jay!
-
I think guests are getting paid something like nothing to appear.

And now it's dead: (http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2010/01/10/nbc-confirms-jay-leno-show-leaving-primetime/) [Bolding mine.]
NBC confirms 'Jay Leno Show' leaving primetime
by Michael Ausiello
Raise your hand if you’re surprised by what you’re about to read. NBC Chairman Jeff Gaspin kicked off his network’s portion of the TCA press tour by confirming the worst kept secret in the TV biz: “I can confirm, starting Feb. 12, The Jay Leno Show will no longer air at 10 p.m.”
Gaspin said that, “While [Leno] was performing at acceptable levels for the network, it did not meet our affiliates’ needs, and we realized we had to make a change. My goal right now is to keep Jay, Conan [O'Brien], and Jimmy [Fallon] as part of our late-night lineup. I have spoken to all of them and proposed that The Jay Leno Show move to 11:35, The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien to 12:05, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon would then start at 1:05.
“As much as I’d like to tell you we have a done deal, that’s not true,” he added. “The talks are ongoing. [But] I hope and expect, before the Olympics begin, we will have everything set. I can’t imagine we won’t.”
Though there’s been no official word yet from Jay, Conan, or Jimmy, Gaspin called the trio “gracious,” adding that they “understood the difficult position” NBC is in. And Carson Daly? Gaspin insists he’ll “remain a part of NBC.” Last Call, however, sounds like it’s dead.
So what goes on at 10 now? NBC prez Angela Bromstad said, “We have absolutely dedicated our resources to fortifying and building up our development slate.” Translation: Leno’s very temporary weeknight home will soon be filled by two more hours of scripted content, an hour of reality, an expanded Dateline, and some repeats. “We’re not going to do five new dramas at 10 p.m.,” Gaspin promised.
In spite of hindsight being 20/20, Gaspin still sees the Leno debacle as a calculated risk and the kind of gamble that he might take again. “I don’t think it’s wrong to take chances,” he said. “Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Maybe we were a little too early on [in reinventing the 10 p.m. hour]. I still think you have to play with your schedule a little bit differently…
“By the fall,” he added, “you may see us do some interesting stuff with the schedule.”
Does the promise of “some interesting stuff” scare or excite you? And what do you think “some interesting stuff” means to the guy who uprooted a late-night mainstay to prime time? Sound off below.
1. On the replacement programming, just EW.
2. to NBC, YOU DIDN'T TAKE ANY "CHANCES". YOU GAVE US WATERED-DOWN, CONTENTLESS LENO AND DID NOTHING SPECIAL/AMAZING/ETC. Fools.
3. Sucks to be Conan?
4. Screw Carson Daly.
-
If I was Conan I'd leave for another Network. It took them forever to finally to commit to giving him the Tonight show and he stuck by them and he just got and now they are giving it back to Leno for failing. I mean I know Conan's show will still be "The Tonight Show" but it won't have the Tonight Show's time slot.
-
I agree. And from what I hear, moving to an earlier time slot just watered him down anyway.
Actually, I take that back: Leno should just leave.
-
I do miss the Masturbating Bear.
-
Conan would do better on another network, probably cable. A real gamble would be having a premium network (HBO or Showtime) airing the show on weeknights.
-
I guess Fox is watching this closely and if Conan leaves over this they plan to scoop him up.
-
I've always thought Conan is way funnier than Leno :-/

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/jerry-seinfeld-defends-nbcs-jay-leno-concan-obrien/story?id=9530328
Jerry Seinfeld, STFU.
-
He just needs someone to defend him next time he marries a teenager and thus is trying to get people to owe him.
-
"Concan"
-
:lmao: I didn't even notice that! Somebody at ABC has thick fingers.
-
Word is that Conan told NBC to go fuck itself and refuses to be bumped back past midnight again. I don't blame him, it's like giving a popsicle to a child and then stealing it away again 5 seconds later. Conan needs to sue NBC out of business.

"If Conan was fucking Leno like this, there would finally be a SINGLE funny bone in Jay's body!" :laugh:
-
Ron Bennington put it best. A million people died in Haiti, yet we're preoccupied because a millionaire starts work a half-an-hour later.
-
Not so much preoccupied though I do concede that Haiti hasn't gotten enough attention.

Conan O'Brien gets a job offer from 'Sons of Anarchy' (http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2010/01/conan-obrien-gets-a-job-offer-from-sons-of-anarchy.html)
Also:
Silverman: Give Conan a chance (http://www.torontosun.com/entertainment/tv/2010/01/15/12484431.html)
Leave it to the hilarious Sarah Silverman to remember the forgotten victim in the NBC late-night wars: Mavis Leno.
“I have nothing bad to say about anybody, but I do recall a certain young Jay Leno saying he was going to take his wife Mavis out for dinner by the time he was 60,” Silverman said. “Isn’t that what he said five years ago?“
“How about that dinner? Mavis is starving!”
-
She makes me laugh and then I get hard.
Real hard.
-
I love Sons of Anarchy and Sarah Silverman.
Epic win.
-

LOL is that in the smileys? Awesome. I'll probably use it soon
-
Yes, it's in the smileys.
-
Yet my :tom:, a blue bouncing smiley, has vanished.
Hmmmmmmmm.
-
I just keep a folder (http://www.shwiggie.com/boards/emoticons/) full of regularly used smilies for use at boards not belonging to me.
-
Yet my :tom:, a blue bouncing smiley, has vanished.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Dude, really? I'll look into that later.
Like Squirrel, I also keep an emoticon directory although I actually tend to use it more for my own board than at other places.
-
Blame Rama is still there isn't? No one has blamed all their life's woes on me in awhile.
-
Dude, really? I'll look into that later.
...well it's still not in that directory. I checked, I didn't think it existed. SMILEY!!!

Want me to replace it with a pregnant emoticon?

Really surprised this one isn't called IDE: :hump:

Yeah, probably should be. Maybe we could find a more vulgar one instead. ;D

I tried watching those on Netflix. I didn't even get into the first fifteen minutes before turning it off. Didn't suit me.

Just remember that you're drinking for two these days >:D
BTW, this was an emoticon used elsewhere for IDE: (http://www.shwiggie.com/boards/emoticons/ide_tap.gif)

Why, what's wrong with you?

If I had the inclination, I'd edit that "Boo, Boo, Boo-hoo-hoo!"

I LOVE THAT SHOW
-
Man it's been a long time since I saw any of the Storyteller. Had to be the early 90s. I'd forgot all about it.
-
I never knew about it until I came across it... meh, I forget where. But it was just last year. And I checked out the lot from the library. Good times, good times. The dude who plays Arthur Weasley in Harry Potter has a bit part.
....as the dog's turd. No, no, I kid. He's really there.
-
I seem to remember it being on HBO when I saw it. So it had to be a long time ago cause we haven't been able to afford HBO in a long time.
-
I don't think we've ever had HBO. Showtime and/or Cinemax, maybe... back in the mid-eighties. I don't think we ever had HBO though.
-
I thought it was HBO, but it might be another channel. I don't know it was long time ago. But we didn't have cable till like 91 so I couldn't have seen it before then.
-
Apparently Fox has registered the domain name Conanonfox.com. However, this was reported by TMZ. :blink:

Good grief people, this is the internet, look up where it was fucking shown!

NBC!!!! FUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!! It was also later on HB FUCKING OOOOOO!!! FUCCKKKKKCKCUFUUCKCK!!!!!

Using a wiki will only reinforce that we're talking to each other over machines.

We're posting in a fucking forum! ON THE INTERNET!

No! NOOOOOOOOO!! :vaderno:

Thanks for ruining it for me Fiero!

Did you guys really think we were talking face to face? These conversations suck, sometimes it take an hour for the person next to me to say anything, and I never which conversation they're bringing back up!
-
...and I never which conversation they're bringing back up!
And speaking they did to me yes!

I was till you said something. Course I was seeing like Beck Circa 2005 since I don't think I know what she looks like now.
-
Like this except my hair is brown:
-
Oh so only difference is your hair is not blonde anymore.
-
I'm annoyed because I loved the color but hated the cut. I got it cut twice and both ppl fucked it up, so I couldn't really enjoy being blonde. :( Then I went red in the summer and now I'm dark brown as of last month but not too dark. Drapes still don't match the carpet and all.
-
..................
I'm confused. Usually I ask for info like that and then get a mad face and "Go fuck yourself." I don't know what to do when you just say it.
And Red would interesting to see, but always thought you looked best with the dark brown, but that was just my opinion.

Well, knock it off.

Sorry.

Mr. Yuck! Who remembers him? I miss him!
-
I remember that sticker was on EVERYTHING.
-
I remember he was all over the place when I was in elementary school. Did he disappear or did they decide for me that once I got into middle school Mr. Yuck wasn't cool enough? He's plenty cool! He oozes cool! And if that cool should poison you, he provides you with a handy phone number!
-
I think he got phased out and was replaced with "Dare" bumper stickers on everything.
-
Dare phased out at the same time. At least for me it did.
-
Mr. Yuck had some staying powet down south.
-
Ew, that sounds dirty. Anyway, what I meant was that Dare and Mr. Yuck phased out together when I was a kid. Neither seemed to have much staying power at all.
-
Ew, that sounds dirty.
Then I better not tell you where the lemonade is made.

Sweet lemonade, mmm, sweet lemonade.

Tonight's Conan's last NBC show evar. I doubt he'd ever return. Fuck NBC!
-
No shit? Can't wait to watch that tomorrow.
-

DARE stuck around a lot longer here. I guess they thought that drugs would be a much bigger problem in small town then in huge cities. I mean isn't that always the way. Or maybe we just so bored that having a Cop show up once a week and tell us "Drugs are bad" was almost entertaining.
-
No shit? Can't wait to watch that tomorrow.
I meant to watch him all week but kept forgetting. I've never seen a Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien episode in its entirety. A clip of one of them, I believe. I just don't generally watch tv at that time. Not unless I'm seeing a movie or something.
-
I'm figuring on a return appearance by Triumph and the Masterbating Bear before it's all over with.
-
Oh that would be epic. Shit I hope that didn't happen tonight. I forgot to watch it.
-
It is Friday night (tonight tonight), I was a bit jetlagged when I posted and for some reason I was under the impression that yesterday was today.
-
For a second I thought you jumped timezones.
Well, no, actually at first I was all "Oh shit, I missed it!" and then I googled and then looked at the date and was all "ok".
-
There all on Hulu, go watch them.
-
Oh ok....
This should only take around nine hours for me. *Waits*
-
There all on Hulu, go watch them.
It's not the same as watching them in front of my tv the day-of when they have more relevancy.
-
I honestly forgot it was tonight until just now. Seriously, fuck.
-
AH FUCK I FORGOT TO!
Masturbating bear was on I think Wednesday. They were listing hollywood stuff that lasted less time than him hosting the show, and the last one was "The dissapearance of the masturbating bear: 6 months 29 days" something like that and then there he was, masturbating and being bear like.
-
Epic fucking closer.
-
Freebird was a perfect way to go out.
-
It was nice and epic. Honestly, fuck an NBC. I don't blame Jay, they fucked him first and made him live with it. Then, instead of letting Jay go, they held him to contract after he was forced to give up his own show. Now they've fucked Conan over for Jay, when they don't even know if the audience will come back.
-
Well they are making sure they don't all leave with Conan. He can't have another show till Sept 2. It was part of his deal he signed.
-
True, but it would take that long to start up another show at another network.
-
I was tired so I skipped Conan. =p I realized it was on about fifteen minutes in, but I wanted to draw instead.
-

Fox could break the seal on the old Chevy Chase Show set. But who knows what unholy things lay lock away and forgotten in there.
-
The greg the bunny puppet now lives there, along with the art supplies for Futurama's storyboards.
-
I think the live action Tick and That 80's Show might be in there as well.
-
Also the model home set for Arrested Development is there.
-
Too bad all the love for Conan didn't spring up until after the writing was on the wall. He could have used the support over the past seven months he was on, you know, back when it would have made a difference.
Well, back to going to bed after the evening news.

Ha ha, yeah. Throughout all of this, I still couldn't change my habits to even watch him out of support. I like him and I think he got a raw deal, but I don't watch news so 10-10:30 is dead space to me and I shut the tv off most of the time. If Conan could work out a 10:00 CST show after the news at nine on FOX, I'd definetely watch that. When I watched Conan's old show, I'd cut out before the guests 90% of the time anyway. If he gets a 10:00 show, I'd leave the tv on a little longer to watch some of it.
-
Only news I tend to watch is The Colbert Report. So I usually miss him for the same reason, but when I watched a Late Show is was Conan's.
-
I watched him more @ 12:30 just because of habit. 11:30 was still Leno/Letterman so I never really unconsciously tuned in, minus when I actually remembered. His show was always superior to all the other offerings.
-
With my ex, we used to watch Conan eeevery night, followed by Carson Daly (argh) and afterwards by Poker Tonight or whatever the name was, I can't even remember it anymore
-
I couldn't stand Carson, but I know of the poker show.
-
You know when the name Carson came up my mind went to Johnny Carson and not Carson Daily. I guess cause I'm actually old enough to remember watching Carson before Leno took over.
-
Oprah apparently raped Jay on her show.
-
I'd believe it with that huge dick of hers.
-
It was Oprah's birthday last Friday. She turned 112.

She's also a giraffe from Venus with leathery wings of a bat.
