Ironic that this video ends with NBC's plug for "The Tonight Show with Conan O'brien"

I can't wait for Leno to get back on the Tonight Show, and watch his ratings plummet even farther than before.

Fixed and thanks.

This is an interesting one to *discuss:



This is a visual dupe of http://www.videosift.com/video/Tonight-Show-Battle-in-CG-Animation

But this one is voiced in Mandarin, the other in English. Otherwise, they're identical.

Personally, I'd rather watch the one with commentary I can understand.

Frankly I simply don't know why so many people find this guy funny. He's almost as boring as Letterman is. Conan is THE host of the 21st century and as the audience ages and more and more younger people start watching late night shows, they will realize they lost their ONLY chance at a #1 spot in the next decade +.

Course it doesn't help that when Conan took over Late Night, NBC told him he had to cool his act down a bit and took half his good stuff and threw it in the gutter saying he could never use it on The Tonight Show. It's like they had a noose around his neck for months and if he did anything out of line they'd shit-can him. And it only took 7 months for it to happen.

Leno's hands aren't exactly clean. It was Leno's people that planted a story in the NY Times reporting that the NBC executives wanted Carson out and Leno in. Carson was humiliated by the story and took it very personal. As a result he announced his retirement earlier then expected instead of Oct 1992 which would have been Carson's 30th anniversary. Carson had made it publicly known before all this that he wanted to stick it out at least to his 30th anniversary. Leno not only denied knowing anything about it but denied that any of his people had anything to do with it. Even Carson and his people knew that the story came from Leno's people but Leno was still in denial.>> ^bareboards2:
One thing that is missing from this whole spat is HOW Conan got the show to start with. He pushed out Leno by demanding the Tonight Show within five years of his last contract. That is a pretty low move. Carson was allowed to retire when he wanted.
So maybe some of this is payback by Leno.
The whole thing is stupid. Craig Ferguson taking the high road sums it up for me. He's a class act in my book, even with all his fart jokes.

I don't think this was scripted. However, I do believe Leno told him to just go for it.

The questions, especially towards the end, were too leading.

The spat is good for NBC, if you believe the rubric "any publicity is good publicity."
