There was a lot of talk last, but no definite decision was published. As to part 2, both. Leno's new show was OK, but it doesn't compete against the other shows. Conan doesn't draw the old Leno audience, which is probably just going to bed earlier... Fallon is way way too far to the left, and that really turns me off. I think his focus is on a much younger audience. It's too bad, Fallon has the best bad.

From what I read in the paper yesterday, Leno's show didn't do as well as had been planned but hay yet to drop below the promised number of viewers that NBC had promised it's advertisers. The Tonight show on the other hand had fallen way off and had lost viewers in every demographic to Letterman. NBC was talking about putting Leno on for 1/2 hour at 11:35 and them have Conan on after that. Because NBC has a 5 year contract with Conan to host the Tonight show, Leno's show will continue to be called just that.

TV in general has failed. It's been failing for a long time. Honestly I think it's a dying medium.

Conan failed because the network neutered him in his earlier time slot. All of his good edgy bits were gone, replaced by Leno-esque tame stuff. I never thought Leno was very funny, but Conan trying to do Leno was VERY not funny.

He does have good taste in cars though. Frankly I'd be more inclined to watch him host a show about rare/exotic cars - kind of a video version of what he likes to do on occasional weekends north of Malibu anyway.

He'd be fine for a US top gear type of show, but as Tonight Show host i have always felt him to be a total disaster. I watched Letterman after the NBC Carson replacement debacle for a long time until his political views turned me off too.
Now i just watch Ferguson every once in a while. |

Fallon sucks, Ferguson sucks too. Leno is da man, next is O'Brien and last is Letterman. IMO, of course.

Very predictable. In fact, it was predicted on 9/12/09.

Pretty much spot-on. I pulled out an old Carson tape the other day and after watching it was almost in tears. Nothing on now touches it. It's a shame what they've done to late-night television!

I watched a carson infomercial a few months back where they were hawking best of the Carson dvds, and laughed my butt off the whole time.
Late night comedy died with Johnny Carson. :-/ |
