Poll question: Whose side of the Tonight Show brouhaha are you on? |
|
This is almost more riveting than the Letterman vs. Leno vs. Carson debacle, circa 1992.

2. I watch Letterman and Ferguson so I don't care. |
|
I think NBC sucks for what they're doing, but that's nothing new.

9. Me too, but Conan is right |
|
There needs to be on Tonight Show host and that's it. They should have asked Ellen if she wanted it, but maybe she is too big for it now.

4. Jay is coming off more and more like a selfish egotistical loser. |
|
I cannot stand him at all anymore. I used to merely tolerate him before. I always liked Conan, ever since he started on NBC. But Letterman is winning out from all of this.

5. I'm a Johnny Carson--->Letterman supporter |

Leno is pure crap and always has been. I never "got" Conan, but I don't dislike him.

Obrien seems likable, but i have lots of friends who need jobs to worry about rich people's fights. I will do the show for only half a million a year. But I need benies.

Ditto; the petty trials and tribulations of this lot is not even entertainment.
But I will recommend you to fill the seat. ;)

7. How about expanding the Tonight Show back to an hour and a half? |
|
Give Conan the first and last half hours, and give Jay a half hour in the middle.
It'll get ratings just for the novelty.

He was supposed to have the tonight show and the NBC brass gave it to Leno instead........

12. Leno's a has been. Jimmy Fallon is a never was. So why is Conan getting the shaft? |
|
Usually I watch Letterman, if I watch any of them. Actually I was watching Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert until Comca$t fucked up my digital TV channels.

16. I side with Conan just on principle. |

If your company rewards 17 years of faithful service and hard work with broken promises and lies then you should leave if you have the means. Someone like Conan has options and he can quit or go to another Network. I would do it.

topical humor like he did. No one can replace him. I can see Conan doing something on The Comedy Channel bringing his own brand of humor to a half hour show like his friends Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert do. I think Leno should retire and work on cars. He stopped being funny thirty years ago. I'm all for bringing "The Late Show" movie back for the insomniacs among us.

19. David Letterman & the late Johnny Carson's side. |
|
NBC is holding the bag of late-night TV burning poop. Serves them right for not listening to Carson & holding on to Letterman.

If Jimmy Kimmel is back with Sarah Silverman, then I vote for him.
Leno's a hard core car guy. Therefore I can't hate him. I liked him much much better when he guested on Letterman back in the eighties.
I like Letterman the most of all. Notice how Dave's sex scandal has dissipated these days? Good for him!
