Title: Jay Leno show cancelled at 10pm slot
Post by: DUNBAR PLUMBING on January 10, 2010, 03:40:09 PM

Apparently Drudge Report (www.drudgereport.com) is putting this one on a pedestal for everyone to see...

I would venture to say that this latest event means that either Conan Obrien is going to walk, or get knocked out of his spot.

I can't say much for Jimmy Fallon; his comedy skits are good, some good work has been put into his talent on the screen but

if it isn't making money, I can see the ending is near.

And who wants to talke about Carson Daily? The guy is a Rodney Dangerfield of the new decade, never getting any respect and

gets more views heading to the bathroom after that moment you realized you left the tv on again before bedtime.


Both of these fellows are talented, both are of the essence of the "either you love them or hate them" mentality.


The problem is...somebody has to go, and it isn't Jay Leno. Will be interesting in the coming days to see where all this leads.

Jay gleans a tremendous amount of his material from The Howard Stern Show. I am not a fan of his. His demographic is 70+ folks who have just watched the local news and aren't sleepy yet.

TV is so un-interesting these days..............

Apparently Conan is pretty pissed that they want to bump him later into the night. I'm sure he didn't want to get that prime time spot, only to lose it.

If he moves to Fox, he then has to compete against Leno and Letterman, along with Nightline. No one ever talks about that other guy, on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel.

Watching these comedians take pot shots at each other are getting pretty hilarious! Still though, I'm thinking Conan got :sign0081:

I'm curious to know where he's heading, but I'm sure Fox has found there future in local late night crowds. I could see it working though!

Jay bowed out of the limelight last night for Conan's grand finale. Some police show was on instead. Probably a good thing, kept him from influencing the lead up to the last show.

That doesn't leave a good impression, showing his show being clipped by a rerun.  :sign0151: :sign0151: :sign0081:

If he returns to the late show with dismal numbers, NBC made a horrible gamble...but that wouldn't be the first time.
