I started reading this post before I read who made it...I got half way through the second sentence before I figured it out. I honestly think NGFM writes the only posts I can recognize consistently without a name next to it.Ratings are down because people are in bed by 10:30pm. In the old days, work was 9-5, not any more. Plus the networks pissed off half the people by making fun of Bush and supporting the left. If FOX ran a comedy show at 11pm, I'd probably watch a little of it before the actors come on to pimp their movie or book. But instead they run the local news again. I will not support left wing networks.
Awesome.
Conan rules, and NBC proves yet again they are run by the biggest idiots on the planet.

In 2008 it was reported that she had become a passionate supporter of Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign in Georgia.
so basically they took leno off the tonight show and then put him on a new show which they are moving to the same time as the tonight show
oh ok
Harry Reid is a racist. Rush Limbaugh is a dick. Obama is a Kenyan.
Conan is what matters most. In the worst case scenario, he can write for the Simpsons again. That would be sweet.

Conan has very little leverage in this situation as his contract is pretty solid and the ratings are in the shitter. Fun to see NBC imploding, but I couldn't care less about this Conan/Leno situation.
They're both equally unfunny and deserve to be taken off the air. I'd rather watch Craig Ferguson.
Had this same conversation with my wife last night.
In short, ratings for "Tonight" have been down since Jay left, and NBC is panicking. However, they went down after Johnny left, the only difference is that when Johnny left, Johnny left, and people eventually warmed up to Jay.
Conan didn't get that chance.
