Just saw the opening to Leno. No mention at all of Letterman.

Lets see if more great money wasting happens

Yup. Horse watching the SuperBowl. 4.8 mil.

"...and look what he's doing!"

My God, his delivery of that line was gold.

Hmmm....how is he going to top the $4.8 million bit tomorrow?

This is the funniest Robin Williams has been in years. :lol:

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

Wow

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

due to the accent and the bleeping, what was Robin singing?

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

I hate Robin Williams on talk shows. No offense to the above poster, but there was nothing really different about this appearance than any of his other ones. Blech.

I believe it was: "Fuck the bastards if they can't take a joke" but I could be wrong.

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

Also Conan said that Neil Young is on tomorrow

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

Which certainly beats the crap passing for music on tonight. Yetch!!!!

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

i actually kind of enjoyed that. Liked the big epic feel to it, anyone know what it was called?

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

I was hoping Conan would get Pearl Jam on as his last musical guest since they were his first musical guest but I suppose Neil Young is close enough.

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

I think he was singing the theme from Love Story which is famous as an instrumental so hearing the lyrics was confusing.

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

Manillow sounded off.

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

NBC clearly made a mistake by giving him such a huge contract for his Leno show, but putting Leno back on Tonight will bring better ratings. It's the smart business decision. Conan gets tons of money out of this and another show somewhere else. He should just shut the fuck up and suck it up. That's what Jay did when he was demoted in 04.

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

Yeah, Conan should have just put on a happy face, been completely dishonest with everybody about how he really feels, and just hung around NBC a while longer secretly plotting to stab Leno in the back.

that's the way things work.

Kimmel's bit that was done like a Ken Burns' documentary was great. It's up on tv.gawker

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

Considering that a case can be made that the poor performance of Leno's show as a lead-in to local news and The Tonight Show contributed to lower ratings for The Tonight Show, I can see where Conan has a legitimate gripe about NBC's decision to give the 11:30 slot to Leno. Oh, and though Jay didn't go ballistic in 04 when the decision was made to give Conan the Tonight Show in 09, as video that's been linked in these threads shows, he certainly didn't shut up about the issue, he addressed it directly on his show.

Re: NBC: let's see how low we can go (Conan thread, part 2)
 

Guess tonight's the last Conan episode. Wouldn't miss it. :up:
