To be honest, I never thought his shows were all that funny... I hope his next endeavor isn't another typical late night show.

I was just listening to the Comedy Death Ray podcast last night and Patton Oswalt summed this one up pretty well.

He isn't retiring. can you read? He's refusing to accept a specific deal with NBC. Either they will negotiate, or he will get a better offer from someone else.

That really sucks, and that was a great point by Patton Oswalt, Jay Leno has never pushed the envelope or moved forward, I watch his show and he's the same as he was when I watched him over a decade ago. Conan is a truly awesome talk show host, one of the best easily, and he's getting a raw deal. Sucks to see he's leaving.

Conan is actually funny though  , compared to the other american talk shows I've seen. They used to play the tonight show on swedish tv, I really miss it! It was the only program worth putting my tv on for :p

Don't you think that's why Leno is still around? Nothing against Conan or anything...

Conan is one of the best things on TV, hopefully they come to an agreement. Or he goes to something else that's awesome |

Horribly sad to see Conan go - I loved his show. Leno can eat it.

As far as I know and have read, he hasn't announced anything yet, and neither has NBC. I think that message was meant to throw the ball back in NBC's court and see what happens. He is under contract.
Fox has been wanting to enter the late night arena for awhile now and would probably court Conan if he does leave NBC. We'll see what happens..
I for one think that Conan is the best late night host since Carson. I hope it works out well for him.

yeah NBC made a dick move here. Jay Leno hasn't been funny in years. They are messing up the "Tonight Show" name by killing it like this.  |
|
Leno took a risk it didn't pan out so sad. He should be a man and move onto his next great failure.
Obviously he made the mistake in thinking that people watched because he was on, now NBC is making the same mistake. People just need a familiar face to deliver a funny monologue it hasn't been about who delivers it in a very long time.
Give Jay the boot, keep Conan so I can go back to not watching either of them, except when it makes it on the interweb.

God damnit! I hate Leno! FUUCK HIM
I love watching Conan and they fucked everything up for him, all because Leno keeps flip flopping around about what he wants to do and the network is putting up with it! What so great about Leno anyway, I always thought Conans show was 10x funnier...this whole thing makes me really mad.

I think The Tonight Show was the worst thing that could have happened to Conan. It completely neutered his comedy and edgyness for mainstream success. I really hope he gets a show on Fox, I think he'll be given a lot more artistic liberty there in a comparable time slot. In the meantime, this will be the death of The Tonight Show in the long run. The tame and often boring format just isn't going to cut it with a generation raised on Ren and Stimpy. NBC had their chance and blew it.
