Um. Screw Leno. I saw Jimmy Kimmel make fun of him for a whole show and I got a kick out of it. XD Leno tried a show and failed miserably. I don't see why they should mess with Conan for Leno failing. Odds are, he won't do any better since a lot of people are mad over what happened. |
The Jay leno Show isn't a failure, its meeting what NBC expected from it, but the NBC affiliates weren't happy with the smaller lead in and the 10 pm dramas that were all moved saw ratings drop as well. I kinda feel bad for Leno alot of people are getting mad at him because NBC screwed up

Ratings on the Jay Leno show were really low from what I have always heard. I don't really hate Leno, although watching someone parody somebody else always amuses me. I am not a big fan of Leno but the whole situation kind of pisses me off. Of course from the Media, it seems like Leno is pushing for the change just as much as NBC are pushing it.

Leno usually averages 5 million + from The Tonight Show and when he switched to primetime, he got somewhere around 6, maybe 6.5 million people, which is what everyone expected. NBC projected 300 million dollars a year profit from The Jay Leno Show. It was the affliates who got Leno's shows canceled. Conan O'Brien on the other hand, is getting 2.5 million to maybe 3 million viewers when he took over The Tonight Show. If you were NBC, who would you go with? Leno or O'Brien?

Erm. From what I initially read, it made it seem like it was NBC's fault. But at the same time, I've heard there were very lackluster ratings for the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien....So I guess I can understand the situation. I think this would have all been resolved if they just got rid of Fallon. -.-

Well the problem is... the Jay Leno show... sucked. It didn't bring over viewers and Jay Leno finished in last place every week.
What total war is saying is a cherrypicked way to make Leno look good.
The reason Conan did so bad was because Leno was such a lackluster lead in, unlike Leno who had a lot of quality lead ins.
This is also why Leno got canned. He cost the affiliates money because his show was so shitty a lead in that it cost NBC tons of News viewership. News Viewership being the most profitable hour for local affiliates since they are given the most "local advertising" in primetime.
