Ok, the guy got 32 million to go away, he will have a new cable show on TBS, was on tour, made bunches of money. He has a lovely wife, child--he's a privilged white male. He has no reason to bitch at all.

The guy should suck it up and quit being such a whiney little bitchboy.

His nose is pointy, reminds me of Pinochio

I don't find him funny.

Some people feel sorry for him ?

luv4u said:

Totally agree.

I like that he is self-deprecating. But dude, when that's what your entire act has been for 10/15 years, it stopped being funny/charming after about 5 minutes.

I don't feel sorry for him exactly, but he did kind of get screwed. But that's show biz. He did get his chance. Leno won that battle, and TV is far worse for it!

sometimes, all the money & privilege in the world doesn't make up for being treated like a fucking fool...


sometimes...

$32mil would soothe my wounded pride real quick.

Even he said on his last show to not feel sorry for him, that he was incredibly lucky to have ever gotten the chance to do what he did.

He's not bitching. No amount of money is worth staying in a toxic place where people don't want you. He's human, and he's telling what he felt. He has every right to feel that, and to act on it, or react to it. Conan has NEVER been out for sympathy or pity from the public, nor has he ever been cynical about it.

So you don't feel sorry for Conan? Neither does he.

That mofo has NEVER made me laugh.

He made me laugh once back when Princess Diana was living. It was a joke about Prince Charles' ears

Exactly.

CONAN: Jay took my show away!!!

REALITY: The whole debacle never would've happened if Conan hadn't forced Leno out of The Tonight Show in the first place.


CONAN: I had a poor lead-in and that evil Jay Leno stole my show out from under me before I had a chance to build an audience!!!

REALITY: Conan will never play in Peoria. His Tonight Show was a fiasco and even if Leno had passed (and why in hell would he? ), NBC still would've yanked 'im.


IMHO, Conan's show is way funnier than Jay's (although I find Coco himself grating). But you know what's even funnier? Conan painting himself as the victim (and he is doing that).

to me, NBC are the ones who fucked up. They were the ones who forced Jay out (maybe putting Conan on at 11:30 was a mistake to begin with), and the ones who took half of the Tonight Show audience away from Conan by giving Jay a 10:00 slot. And it was they who decided to put the less funny guy back at 11:30 as well as mess up the 12:30 slot. They looked completely like waffling idiots, who couldn't make any sort of firm commitment.

I think Conan (and Jay for that matter) understandably expressed some bitterness toward NBC but I think he took the high road. He didnt' mess with Jimmy Fallon's slot as he could have and he thanked NBC on his last show for all they did for him, and really seemed sincere about it.

What's really interesting is that Coco and NBC honcho Jeff Zucker were classmates at Harvard. When Conan told Steve Kroft on 60 minutes that Zucker has not called Conan to say ANYTHING to him, it just pointed out what a dick an old buddy can turn out to be. Shame on NBC.

Jay: I trust in you, and I think you're good for the job. Take it, it's yours.

Conan: Thank you. I'll take it.

Reality: Just under six months pass.

NBC: Quick, get Chin back in there! Tell everyone we're losing money on the show.

Jay: I'm taking the show back.

Conan: Bye bitches!

Conan literally said "That's impossible" four times when he was asked about the Tonight Show losing money during his run.

markpeg said:

I saw it, and he was right.

Lammastide said:

co-sign.

I cant stand the chin...not funny, never was.

Some people are just media hogs. These guys are multi-millionaires. Yet, they want to stay on TV and make more millions? Sit your old, rich assess down and give somebody else a frickin' chance!

Conan is hilarious.

JustErin said:

NBC really messed up, losing maybe the funniest guy on TV for the last 20 years

NDRU said:

Exactly. Craig Ferguson is funnier, to me, but Conan is right up there with him.

JustErin said:

I think he can be funny also

ernestsewell said:

Craig Ferguson is pretty funny, too. There is something that bugs me about him But pretty funny.

too fucking right. Conan's okay, but this whole saga has everybody grotesquely overrating his modest talents.

JustErin said:

Just curious, do women find Conan hilarious because he's non-threatening, or do they really find him sexy?

markpeg said:

Huh? Non threatening? Sexy?

Dude, I just find him hilarious because we share the same type of humour...nothing more to it.

JustErin said:

I don't know, he's just not sexy to me

Should've seen when people on Twitter keep tweeting #teamconan during the Conan/Leno NBC debacle.
