Yo Yu NBC isn’t going to make themselves look like the *sshole Jay Leno’s actions made them look like they were. It’s like roasting yourself during a fight. This whole segment only shows Conan making shots at Leno & NBC, using passive aggressive things like, “NBC is ‘at the mercy of’,” “nothing, it seems, is off limits”, & “that one, landed hard”‘& saying things like “Leno was a lot more tame”, “viewers SEEM to view Conan as the underdog”. It’s the subtle wording like that that really shows what they were trying to do. They only showed clips of Conan poking fun at NBC, & the one clip they showed of Leno was him basically saying Conan had it easy cause NBC gave Leno less time, effectively praising NBC & glossing over the fact that it was Leno, not NBC who made the original choice to pull the plug on Conan, basically saying “yeah, I told you 5 years ago that I was going to give you the show for which you’ve worked towards having for the last 13 years over to you, but my new show isn’t automatically a giant hit, so... move to like 1 in the morning when everyone’s asleep cause I want it back!”. NBC completely left out the fact that Conan stated on the show how grateful he was of NBC & telling people not to be angry with NBC, “All I ask is one thing, and I'm asking this particularly of young people that watch: Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record, it's my least favorite quality - it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen.” Instead, they depicted Leno as the hero for “rushing in to save the tonight show”, like he wasn’t acting like a petulant child who didn’t want to share, solely cause he was NBC’s cash cow & he was loyal to the network, & depicted Conan as an arrogant, sore loser, playground bully, jerk who was making fun of NBC, when in fact, he had more than enough to be furious about, that he spent 18 years of hard work & dedication towards and for a company that abandoned him when their precious Jay wanted his show back, that no one at corporate had his back, therefore showing they didn’t believe in him, I could go on & on.

Even in 2021, remember people: _Don’t Blame Conan._

And who gives a rat's ass about ratings when you are mature enough to understand comedy. Conan is leagues ahead of any current talk show host. His only peer Ferguson also left. His improvisation, wittiness is beyond fake-ass laughs and stupid game-show audience. But then how would a Leno guy understand comedy?

Funny how Leno has always kicked his ass in views.. even Fergusons old ratings whould smash what Connan does now. Fallon still does 3x more views than Connan on a bad night..

Honestly, on NBC, Conan had a bigger audience and probably a bigger paycheck and bigger budget for the show, especially on the Tonight Show. On TBS on the other hand, he has a bit more freedom, he can do and say things that he couldn't on NBC. The thing is, the Tonight Show is probably the top of a late night career and one of the best things about it is the fact it's on NBC and that it is not so late at night, thanks to which you can have higher viewing numbers than shows which air after the Tonight Show. Conan received all this when he got promoted, and all of a sudden they decided to take away a huge part of it. In summary, for his fans, it is better that he's on TBS. For Conan and his team, hard to say.

A strange quote from a man who did a back room deal to get TTS.

The way Conan shit on NBCon his way out was not just him. He had a very dedicated cast and crew that were getting the shaft as well. His writers wrote those jokes with the same disdain for the situation.

NBC did not help create Conan. Conan helped create modern television. And then modern television mistreated all of its talent and now we have nothing.

Every show Conan did before his depature was gold. I loved every NBC joke. The Winter Olympics sketch was awesome.

Him going to TBS was the best thing for him. The control they gave him over the show makes it great.

Conan had a line in his 60 Minutes interview after all this that really put to rest any back n' forth over who was right and who was wrong: "I'm on record as giving up the Tonight Show." Like, there's no "what if" so far as he was concerned. He gave up the seat on principle, which is far more than Leno could say.

Unfortunately, non-creative company executives don't understand there is no such thing in art.

I think on Conan's shows everybody had fun and hard laughs, people watching at home, people watching it live at the studio, guests, employees...i think he just got our hearts and won us because he is just good.

You are absolutely correct. When you host TTS you have to become PART OF IT. Conan just took his show and switched time slots. There was no TS anymore. It was gone. NBC begged him to change his routine up. He refused. He was losing to Craig Ferguson before he took over TTS. Now he would be up against Letterman. And if Jay had gone to ABC then Conan would have been crushed between them. His departure was a blessing in disguise.... and maybe he realized it.

it was a blessing. Conan went on to create one of the best late shows of all time

If Conan does it they deserve it.

Conan is still going strong with a super popular podcast that allows him to have real convos with celebs now and not canned tv ones. Meanwhile NBC and Peacock have been circling the drain for years.

I saw jerk Leno at rounds burger in pasadena recently. Staff says he comes often. Brought one of his really old custom cars that was super loud.

He sure looks like he eats a lot of burgers.

Conan is priceless and I can't wait for his show in the Fall. I haven't watched 15 minutes of the Tonight Show since his departure. No one is to blame for NBCs demise except the top execs who made this awful mistake happen.

You go, Conan! A lot of opened doors will be waiting for you. ❤️

Here after Conan announced that his show on TBS is ending, and man, I’m never gonna be able to get over the fact that he would still be going with his usual late night gig, and be bigger than ever on the tonight show. Conan is my favorite late night host, and it really sucks to imagine the crazy and hilarious things he never got the chance to do on this show.

I don't know how big he'd be on nbc had he been able to stay. Most people like dumb stuff like Jimmy Fallon and Colbert. Conan was always more of an underdog, alternative-style late show. You can't be alternative and mainstream at the same time, unless the alternative becomes mainstream, in which case the alternative to that would be cool.

Have you seen Jay's ratings over the time he hosted the Tonight Show? Are you kidding? It's all about numbers in the ratings.... everything else is just useless opinions from fanboys or not so fan fanboys ...for and against.

Conan is a true comedic genius. I cannot wait for his new show

You still watching Conan on TBS?

These were some of the best episodes

Here in mid 2021. This popped up on my recommends. Anyway, I remember when all this happened. While i watched a lot of Leno during all his Tonight Show tenure, I am an even bigger Conan fan when Conan was doing his nbc Late Night show. Today, I rarely watch Fallon nor do I watch TBS Conan as I don't want to pay for it. I do not mind watching Kimmel or Colbert. And before the pandemic, also Meyers & Corden. All on commercial television, because it's all free. Sadly I rarely watch late night talk shows anymore for the big reason I can find more interesting stuff to ingest here on KZread... & the Internet in general. If nothing else, I will always have my best times watching late night with Tonight Show Johnny Carson & Late Night Conan. The most memorable & funny shticks happened during those times. My dad is no longer with us & Carson was his favorite, which makes sentimental thinking about it.

Living in the Netherlands I'm deprived from watching any North American network television. The only thing to watch Conan, Colbert, Meyers, Maher, Kimmel and SNL is KZread! (And if I wanted to, also Corden and Fallon who I obviously don't have a need for to watch)

I’m so glad I was raised in a Letterman household.

Same! My parents used to say that Leno was a hack, and boy were they right.

It’s 2021 and Conan is still going strong. Where is Jay Leno? Oh that’s right, nobody cares. #TeamCoco

Fallon is a genius, but he is no tv show host

Fallon is cringy. He doesn't fit the job of tv host in any way. When a guest tells a story he looks disinterested and then tops their jokes with the most obvious fake laugh there is.

the last joke bruh...that was savage 😃😃😂😅😆

Conan has his way to appeal to the younger audience, which I think is difficult for a NBC(or any other network) Instead of holding on to him they got rid of him. And changing the show timings made no sense, it was clear that NBC was trying to push him over the edge. Anyway it worked out for the best for Conan, he now has an amazing show. Suck on that NBC!!

Sigh... I miss Conan!

Thank you Conan. Your Late Night Show following Jay was far superior and you deserved the Tonight Show.

Dam time goes by fast this was over ten years ago wow

we all love connan he 🔆 brightness our day at night 🌃 he us the best makes my life better

It's interesting how NBC no longer has big chin man or Conan. They got nothing! I never watch NBC and never will. Conan really revived TBS. It used to be a re-run network, now it has tons of new and original programming plus the best sitcom ever: Big Bang!

Wow, these comments need to be in a time capsule. TBS definitely still sucked back then in its programming sans Conan, and now that he left, TBS has nothing except reruns.

Big Bang is stupid and predictable.

I love this it's like drama within a cubicle environment

"They help create" ? Are you kidding me. Conan could have lived under a rock and I'd still be his fan.

NBC was once a network that was reverent and clean, but today they've got some shows that are remarkably obscene, like the show about a little boy who lives with Charlie Sheen

Conan is hilarious lmfao!

Damn time flys

I'm watching this video in 2019 as I took KZread to see the latest Conan remote.

Easily the best late night talk show host of the last 30 years

Leno has never been funny

Conan o'Brien is a comedy titan in his own right. Id say this event made him much more savage, and a much better tv personality, but I can't. He has never changed his style. He is my hero, I idolize him

Great podcast, Conan!

NBC didn’t make Conan Conan made Conan

The day Conan left the tonight show I never watched again. I hated how they screwed him over like that, his show was amazing.

Conan revolutionized late night and NBC had no clue what they were doing.

So Glad this Video was in recommended videos....Conan torched them lol

Conans anger is 100% valid. Jay is a weasel & he did Conan DIRTY. One of the most legendary betrayals in entertainment history smh

If Jay hadn't come back someone else would have taken the job. The ratings weren't there. If Jay walked away and another network gave him a job he wouldn't be the scapegoat. If the ratings were much higher they wouldn't have decided to fire Conan. NBC should have kept Jay because the show was number 1 and they let him go offering him a show that didnt last long and guarenteeing him two years which didn't happen.

Do you know how Conan got the job to begin with ... before you call anyone a weasel?

Conan is a legend. funnier than any late show host with the comedic timing like a shot to the testicles.

Conan is the best light night host in television history. Facts.

I never really liked the late night format, but when there's a personality like Conan's I tune in. I've honestly never watched an entire episode of late night television without Conan, Johnny Carson, Nigel Wick, or David Letterman. I had no choice with Carson because my family loved him so we watched him (no hate, but eh, just not my cup of tea), but I went out of my way to watch the other 3. They were so absurd and niche. You never knew what to expect. There isn't a single host today that is fun or interesting to watch. Just predicable and boring. Everyone wants to be the daily show. I may be one of the few that loved the daily show even more before John Stewart.
