why is nbc still loyal to Jay Leno? HE announced his retirement, chose Conan as his replacement, then changed his mind.
They had to give him a prime time show just to make sure he would go to a competing network. That show failed. Now they want him on before Conan.
The Tonight Show ALWAYS comes on right after the news. If you push it back to 12:05 (in the main market, 11:05 where I live) it wont even be coming on Tonight.
Why mess with a rich tradition just to make Leno happy? Give it up! Im so glad Conan said he would walk if they move the show. At least he has balls. Leno is a weasel with no respect for the legacy.

You're so right about this. Conan is getting screwed in this whole situation. They give him seven months? That's bull****. Leno isn't even a quarter as funny as Conan is. Just because the Chin always gets his way, Conan and Fallon are forced to accept whatever fate NBC gives them. I like alot of the NBC comedies, but if I was Conan, I would take the deal with Fox.

Part of me hopes Conan takes the Fox deal and flips the bird to NBC for this.

Don't really watch the Tonight show...any of them. But even so, I think this is totally unfair to Conan. I mean, honestly...wtf. Leno retired, he passed the torch. Let HIM go somewhere else. The Tonight show has picked up a few more younger viewers with Conan, how about letting the old douche go somewhere and suck. I hear Letterman is old and washed-up...maybe they need to replace him.
Seriously, if NBC is being a douche about this and boots Conan...I hope he goes somewhere else and flips the bird on TV to NBC. Burn those bridges, man...cuz if they **** you over, **** them back.

Not only have the two comedians been sniping at each other, but they've also welcomed outside involvement from other late-night hosts. On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel spent the first part of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" doing a prolonged and scathing Leno impression. On Thursday night, Leno welcomed Kimmel to "The Jay Leno Show" via Leno's "10 @ 10" segment, wherein a celebrity answers 10 questions via satellite. And even though they were on Leno's home turf, Kimmel didn't pull any punches.
"What's the secret to a good Jay Leno impression?" the host asked Kimmel during the segment.
"Well, I don't like to give away my secrets," Kimmel said. "But it's a combination of Sylvester the Cat, Curly from 'The Three Stooges' and Scrappy-Doo."
Kimmel admitted that the Leno impression was his idea and didn't come from his writers. Later, when asked what his dream interview would be, Kimmel said, "It would be you and Conan at the same time, because I have a lot of questions for you."
But the most scathing moment came when Leno asked Kimmel what his favorite prank was. "I told a guy that five years from now, I'm going to give you my show, and then I gave it to him and took it back almost instantly," Kimmel said, drawing groans and horrified laughter from Leno's audience. "I think he works at Fox or something now."
At that point, Kimmel was rolling. "Ever order anything off the TV?" Leno asked.
"You mean the way NBC ordered your show off the TV?" Kimmel replied. When asked about strippers, Kimmel said, "I don't like strippers because you have a phony relationship with them for money. Sort of like the way you and Conan were on 'The Tonight Show' together passing the torch? You know what I'm saying."
Leno kept a stiff upper lip throughout the appearance and played along as Kimmel kept nailing him. It ended with Kimmel getting in one last shot.
"Listen, Jay, Conan and I have children," he said. "All you have to take care of is cars. We have lives to lead here. You have $800 million. For God's sake, leave our shows alone!"

Well I just called and the lady sounded very overwhelmed. Conan is confirmed to be out, so all its doing is letting Zucker know how dumb he is.

I watched the video finally. And on my list of favorite late night guys, it always went Conan 1, Kimmel at a close second. But that may have been the greatest thing Jimmy Kimmel has ever done, ever.
