Conan should go back to doing what he is best at: writing on the Simpsons. Just sayin.

I normally don't watch Kimmel, but with the NBC stuff flipped over to ABC. Kimmel did his entire show as Jay Leno complete with wig and chin. He even did "Headlines".
Letterman also had a few Jay jokes tonight and a Law and Order spoof about him...
All of this stuff against Leno is going to hurt him when he moves back to The Tonight Show. This is a huge mess, but an interesting train wreck to watch.

Jay signed a new contract giving him the Tonight Show from 11:35 to 12:35. Rumor going around that Conan will leave after next week. No clue how long Conan will be off TV, or what network he will go to.

Yeah... So *this* was worth cancelling five good shows over, eh, NBC? Including
Life, only one of the best fiction shows of the previous decade! Thanks, NBC!
Everybody said it wouldn't work to have a talkshow in that timeslot! But did NBC listen? Noooooooo! They killed off
Life to get *two* dumb shows. Leno was never funny in the first place. Give me Letterman any day. And Conan was even less funny than Leno (if that's possible). I prefer Craig Ferguson.

Yeah, The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special made me realize just how much talent has left them over the years.

These guys are seriously getting screwed. They're both funny and they both have great shows! Just keep the lineup!
Oh and yeah he did get the porn film offer.

Mmmm Conan's getting screwed more. There's really no other way about it. Jay Leno could always gracefully decide to back out and retire from the business (like, you know, he said he was going to do) and pass the torch to Conan. But he's not. And it's not like it's just NBC pressuring him to do that.

For you visual learners out there (like me), here's an animated recap of the Leno/O'Brien situation:

Not only did that clear up WTF was going on for me, it was also very funny! Nice find, Amy!
