Late-night shows will change faces soon

Who was the bald guy with the big voice at the back of the Grand Ballroom at the Beverly Hills Hilton yesterday morning, bellowing out questions at NBC Universal Entertainment co-chairmen Ben Silverman and Marc ...

I can hardly wait until next June 1st. That will be the first day of my new, early to bed, early to rise regimen. O'Briens failure at hosting the awards show should have had execs scrambling for a different choice for the Tonight show. Having Ferguson eventually take over for Letterman will make NBC rate behind the late night infomercials.

The story's not too clear. Is it Leno's choice to leave or is NBC letting him go? O'Brien's never going to fill his shoes either way. Letterman's going to kick some a-s-s

Leno is terrible anyway. His bits are old and he always plays it too safe.

At least Conan is creative.

Dave is still better than both of them, though he has softened in recent years.

Leno will go to another network and stomp both Letterman and Conan.

Goodbye Late Night. As*hat, O'brien, can't do it. Not funny, no personality, and tries too hard to be what he can't be.
Leno to ABC against Letterman and As*hat. He will carry the night.

THE DAY O'BRIEN SHOWS UP, WILL BE THE DAY I TURN OFF THE TONIGHT SHOW.....LESS THAN WORTHLESS BOZO WITH A REALLLL DOOFUSS HAIRCUT!!! NBC SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT ON THIS ONE

I'm getting old and need my sleep, I'll be getting a lot
more of it when unfunny Connan
takes over

I'm sorry for those of you who disagree, but Leno just isn't funny. He's too soft, and always trying to be agreeable. He had Mel Gibson on not too long after his drunken tirade, and didn't even bring it up.

I would personally love to see Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon beat the living hell out of Jay, Kevin, and "Stuttering" John.

I love Conan, but he can't beat Craig Ferguson in the ratings. I think Leno ends up on Fox (finally succeeding where Joan Rivers, Chevy Chase and Magic Johnson failed).

For you younger viewers, back in the day Jay Leno was actually edgy and funny. His appearances on Letterman's NBC show were classic. Then it was like he sold his soul to land the Tonight Show.

I am going to miss Monday nite funny headlines!

Anybody who thinks Jay Leno is funny is a dinosaur who will die by June 1st of next year anyways. His jokes are old and tired. Conan O'brien is by far the most creative and hilarious host seen in years. If you watched the episodes sans writers Conan completely stole the show and was much funnier than anything Leno did. These are the facts and they are indisputable.
