Strongly Dislike this post.

I think he could go to FOX... doubtful he goes to CNN to replace Piers. Larry King threw softballs, but Leno throws underhand balls. Don't see Leno being a serious interviewer, he has to be a comedian.

To hell hopefully.

Still don't forgive him and NBC for the stunt they pulled with Conan.

That was all NBC, not Leno.

Watch the 60 minutes interview.

Unfortunately, I don't think Fallon is Tonight Show material.

I'll have to settle to watching Letterman's monologue, then dvr'ing Craig Ferguson.
 
Leno allowed it to happen, he could have refused. NBC was a giant douche but Leno didn't say I refuse to move or whatever. He could have but instead he would ahve let it happen.

Conan is the only late night show worth watching.

According to Leno, NBC told him he was done in 2009 no questions asked.

I think Conan's downfall is the age demographic that NBC was aiming for doesn't watch 11:30. Probably watching Colbert and Stewart at the 11 hour.

Plus, they're aiming for the youtube and dvr generation which isn't as profitable as Leno's age group.

I've been watching Leno since I was 7, and his monologues are safe but funny. Conan is more skit oriented which I'm not trying to laugh my ass off before I go to bed. Conan's monologues last like 2 minutes, whereas Leno's go for 8-10 minutes. Same with Ferguson. I love Ferguson, because he does his cold intro, the monologue, and tweet time.

Ferguson is a lot of fun.
 
Fallon does some funny stuff, but he's not a vegas guy like Leno/Carson which seems to play will with Tonight Show crowd. Conan was a lot like Fallon and struggled intially, Conan of course is killing it on TBS but yeah Fallon will lose some and convert some others. Part of the problem of moving from late night to the tonight show is you can't be as niche. Colbert, Stewart and Conan are great because they can serve their niche, Fallon may lose that.

You don't watch Conan. He does long monologues, and skits. Kind of what he wants to do. he's not a Vegas guy like Leno tough.

His comedy is repetitive, but he executes it so well that I don't care.

Geoffrey and Secretariat. It's a great day for America everybody!

His tweet time skit is also funny, especially when he reads the senders name, then proceeds to throw the paper away and skip it. Or when he shows the picture of the sender and flashes the paper in half a second.

I did watch Conan when he was Late Night. Maybe his Conan show changed, but his monologues were pretty quick back in the day.

Just not my cup of tea. Leno gives me ****s and giggles before I go to bed, Conan is more amusing and skit oriented IMO. I'd say one of the funniest things Conan did was giving NBC hell on his way out... one particular skit was having the foreign leaders with subtitles that said they were furious with Conan's departure. The part that got me was when they showed Gordon Brown of UK speaking English and having that subtitled also.
 
Conan seemed really nervous during his interviews whilest on the Tonight Show. I thought that was his downfall. He just didn't have that presence needed in that prime time slot.

Different expectations. He wasn't given a ton of time to get used to things before the **** hit the fan. Watch him on TBS he almost always kills it in interviews. He is awkward but that's him.

Not much into the late night shows, but I'm watching Leno tonight. He always was a class act to me. Certainly more so than that doofus Letterman.

Man, Garth Brooks on the show. Remember when he was the biggest name in music?
