Conan vs. Leno vs. NBC vs. the world
January 17, 2010 in Stuff that's RAD
The late night war between Conan and Leno has gotten a bit ridiculous, hilarious, and depressing. It’s worth nothing that this story has not been confirmed by NBC, but is looking very likely at the time of writing.
Conan O’Brien has been given hosting duties of the Tonight Show at 11:35 from Jay Leno, and only seven months later Conan is getting the show taken away from him…by Jay Leno. Being a long time fan of Conan, and a long time disliker of Leno, I was very surprised and disappointed in the whole situation. The best thing that came from this is the celebrity support for Conan, most notably from Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel is a late show host on ABC, and after hearing the news, he impersonated Leno for a whole show. Kimmel then went on Leno for a segment and ended up trashing Leno on his own show, its brilliant.
