1. LOL I love when Dave makes fun of Jay

He doesnt do it often but its funny.

[smoochpooch]

2. You're right, that's the first time I've heard Dave actually make fun of Leno.

"He's got an old truck he works on." He's loving this drama, for once it's someone else getting screwed by NBC.

[rcrush]

3. Yeah its nice to be able to sit back and laugh when its the other guy

I hope he's talking to Conan and telling him not to stand for NBC's crap. Like Carson did for Letterman back then.

4. Conan's in a tough spot

NBC is allowing him to keep the Tonight Show, albeit in name only, which their lawyers believe meets the letter (certainly not the spirit) of their contract with Conan. So first, Conan needs to successfully challenge that interpretation.

Then, having done that, where does Conan go? None of his options are particularly attractive:

5. He could always do commercials.

6. Letterman is funny..Cannot deny that!!!

8. Jay should just be put out to pasture.

He sucks royally.

9. Leno should be playing the Catskills, cruise ships and casinos.

More his demographic.

Conan has always been a slow starter in the ratings.

NBC needs to let him do his thing. But, they won't, of course.

10. The Carson Daly bits are riotous.

One of the funniest men in history, methinks.

[MilesColtrane]

11. Passing a kidney stone is funnier than Carson Daly.

[EastTennesseeDem]

13. I should have been more clear

David Letterman's making fun of Carson Daly is riotous, and David Letterman is one of the funniest men of all time.

[MilesColtrane]

14. ah, then I'm in total agreement.

[AllenVanAllen]

12. Late night TV won't be the same

when Letterman decideds to retire. I think he's great.
