In the rear 3000

Oh man Conan is going out with a bang, this is amazing I love seeing shit just go off the rails. I really hope Conan gets to stay but he has pissed off a lot of NBC execs (and rightly so) although it has done great for his ratings. Did anyone see yesterdays ep with Ricky Gervais? Haha.

Also, for anyone that missed Kimmel on Jay Leno's show watch the second video here

He tore him a new one. Letterman vid below it too.

Craigslist post is win, and thanks for that link. I'm seriously surprised that Jay Leno took all that, but honestly Kimmel was just speaking the truth, and Leno knows he's in the wrong.

Wait did it end already? Shit just went blank on me

**Correction** · 2010-01-15 00:45

Jimmy coming on at all? Still frozen screen on lolnbc

**Shojin** · 2010-01-15 00:59

refresh the gawker link I posted, it updates with more videos

**Francisco** · 2010-01-15 01:15

Wow, I never realized Leno was this much of a dick.

Can't blame Leno for NBC wanting to make the switch, but he's really coming off as a prick about the whole thing.

**grantlogan** · 2010-01-15 02:16

What Kimmel said to Leno was legendary, absolutely amazing.

**arus2001** · 2010-01-15 02:33

Conan's porn thing really got me.

**Kryssan** · 2010-01-15 09:45

Noticed that last night instead of Zen there was a parody skit of these events. I guess they don't have to go all out since O'Brien is doing that anyway.

Anyone have an archive of the Craigslist post? Its been flagged so I didn't get to view it and archive.org doesn't have it available. Probably because its far too new to show up there, but I was hoping.

**Olo401** · 2010-01-15 09:55

Holeee shit Kimmel destroyed Leno on his own show.. I don't think many people thought he could actually be that funny.

Just a random thought here.. what if they all came out just before the Olympics start with everything worked out, and then actually admit that the whole feud was a ratings ploy?

**Talint** · 2010-01-15 10:19

This is the craziest fucking shit I've seen since 1992.

This was all started in an attempt to NOT have a repeat performance of what went down then. And what happened? An exact repeat performance of what happened in 1992. I mean, holy shit. Way to repeat history, NBC execs.

At least everybody is finally realizing what kind of scummy douchebag Leno really is.

**Olo401** · 2010-01-15 10:24

...then he went on his own show and did it again..

**Null** · 2010-01-15 12:28

Would've been all the sweeter if his sax player was in black face. I watched Conan Last night, but can't believe I forgot to switch to that as well. Miss Lilly was on last night

**Gwynplaine** · 2010-01-15 13:47

Kimmel is hilarious when he's allowed to be. His bit was pretty good.

But frankly,I stopped caring about late night talk shows when I was like 19 and part of me just doesn't give a damn at all. Nevertheless, Conan has gained my respect for consistently bringing the funny throughout my teenage years. Leno is an unfunny hack who only manages to be popular because of all the shitty people who share his terrible sense of humor and crave a tradition-bound mindset. I hope Conan comes out of this on top somehow. Unless this really is some kind of desperate ploy for NBC ratings in which case they only stand to gain slightly more of my scorn.

What’s mesmerizing the entertainment industry is that O’Brien has a contract requiring NBC to pay him a staggering penalty, reportedly $45 million, if his circumstances as host of The Tonight Show change. It is unclear what would trigger that penalty and whether pushing the show out of its time slot would do the trick.

“If they put themselves in a position where they have to pay him if they move him, they’re the biggest idiots ever,” says an industry veteran who, despite being well-connected to the key players, doesn’t know the exact details of what would activate that payout clause.

Rumors are now flying that Zucker's fired Conan. CHECK PLEASE!?

**Cleverness** · 2010-01-15 20:07

So, they failed at 10pm cause Jay Leno isn't funny, try to screw over Conan, and I guess forgot they had to pay him 45 million if he gets screwed? Really? Can I get 45 million too NBC? They seem to like throwing away money.
