The Tonight Show with Conan O' - Jay Leno?!

So if you havent heard Conan O'Brian is NO LONGER doing the Tonight Show. This clarifies why: (Article from Associated Press)




NBC said Thursday it has reached a $45 million deal with Conan O’Brien for his exit from the “Tonight Show,” allowing Jay Leno to return to the late-night program he hosted for 17 years.

Under the deal, which came less than eight months after O’Brien took the reins from Leno, O’Brien will get more than $33 million, NBC said. The rest will go to his 200-strong staff in severance.


Compensation for O’Brien’s staff and crew was the final hurdle in negotiations. O’Brien was said to have been “dug in” on the issue out of concern for the workers, while NBC said this week that it had already agreed to pay “millions of dollars to compensate every one of them” and deemed it a public relations “ploy.”

On Wednesday night’s show, speaking of a push to get a severance deal for his staff from NBC, O’Brien joked, “At first they thought I was gullible. They said the staff would be taken to a big farm, where they’d be allowed to run free forever.”

So my question is: Will NBC reconsider? And SHOULD Conan host the show as compared to Leno? Opinions?

Jay Leno is not a funny man. Conan O Brien is. that is all

I like them both, but I think Conan's comedy is more refreshing so they should leave him on it. Jesus they didn't even give him a year to iron things out.
