KEEP LENO ON 11:30

I have started a cause of facebook to boycott NBC during sweeps. If we can get enough people to stop watching and it effects their ratings then maybe they will realize pushing Conan out was a bad move. If you are on facebook go to causes and search "Boytcott NBC for Sweeps" join and then invite all your friends to join.

They could just let Conan keep The Tonight Show in the earlier slot and force Jay to follow him later; that would solve the payout issue and leave Jay to run a show with less pressure than the earlier time slot.

I have found Leno boring way back since he took over the Tonight Show. He kisses up to his guests and isn't that funny IMO. I don't buy the "nice guy" image either, since his people forced Carson out way back when and then his show refused to book anyone who was on another talk show until the protests made him look too bad. He was the boss and can't pass the buck on that as far as I'm concerned. I'm definitely "Team Leno" on this dispute, but I do have to say one thing about Leno refusing to retire, he didn't ask to leave the Tonight Show, it was thrust upon him by NBC. I don't blame Conan or NBC there. Conan was understandably ready to move from the late night spot and NBC went with the younger demographic. But the stupidity of having a talk show at 10 pm five nights a week for Leno was something even civilians could see coming. You can't blame Leno for refusing to retire just because he lost his show, but if he or the network had any sense, they would have found him an entirely new type of show if he chose to stay at NBC. He could have hosted a reality show (and held a piece of it like Simon Cowell does with AI) or done a show with celebrity vehicles and gadgets for us to be jealous of. He could done a faux news show weekly, hosting the show and doing celebrity interviews in some (but not all) segments. They could have thought up lots of ideas that would be profitable and kept him in front of the public. Whoever runs NBC has no imagination and less foresight. (And should be selling toasters not running a Television network.)

I can't believe that anyone would think it's right what Jay Leno is doing. He reminds you of a spoiled brat who has to get his way. He has no "Class." Anyone with a memory remembers how he screwed over and back-stabbed David Letterman years ago. All I can say is long live Letterman and now long live Conan. I would never watch Jay Leno no matter what time his show is on.

Leno should have retired as originally planned. I will never watch Leno on TV ever again, but most definitely will stay up to watch Conan. Conan is a classy guy, truly funny, truly intelligent. Can't say the same for liar Leno. Oh- and Zucker needs to be handed his ass on a platter- what an idiot! Zucker is a typical corporate example of being promoted beyond one's capabilities.

Jay just shows how big a loser he is, by basically stealing Conan's job after fakingly "passing the torch" to him.. what a joke he is.

Hopefully Conan goes to Fox and then he can really push the envelope and beat Jay - and maybe Dave in the ratings.

Hate to see Conan go. Leno is really coming across as the villain in all this.

I have never been a Conan fan but his treatment by NBC is the pits.

I used to watch Leno and Conan all the damn time and while I never found Leno that funny he wasn't horribly offensive. I will never watch his show now. NBC handled this poorly but Leno pulled an epic dick move by being complacent. Leno should have just retired gracefully, he had damn near 20 years as the host.
