he said it was fake, they really didnt spend all that money
was watching that too, Oprah was slick with it, even though she said she took his side, those hard hitting questions def sounded straight from herOriginally Posted by Fundamental21Ticket
I watched his interview with Oprah today and its unbelievable that he's putting this all on NBC. Oprah called him out on taking cheap shots at Letterman's scandal and he said he only did one joke about which was clearly a lie.
Its not all on NBC, if Leno was a real man he would of just said what he really felt, which was he didn't want to leave The Tonight Show. With Leno lying he basically screwed Conan out of lucrative deals back then, all this mess wouldn't have occurred if Leno just spoke his mind from the beginning. Now its bad for him because hes looking like a two faced, backstabbing person.Originally Posted by SenorRoboto2k5
Jay has always wanted to do the Tonight Show and you can't fault him for that.
If I remember correctly, when NBC announced that Conan would take over the Tonight Show in 2004, Leno wasn't too convinced. NBC wanted to guarantee Conan a promotion so that he wouldn't leave if a better offer came along. Jay is an older guy and NBC probably thought he would be retiring within the next five years or whatever time span they gave. Five years is a long time to be doing a nightly show, and back then, some NBC exec probably thought that Jay was in his golden age already. Jay agreed to this, but I remember thinking that it wasn't on his terms.
When the time came last summer, Jay wasn't ready to retire, and his ratings showed that he was worth keeping around. NBC loves Jay, so they jumped through hoops to develop this new show at 10. When that fails, instead of canceling it like they would any other faltering new show, they jump through hoops again to keep Jay around because they love him so much. That involves Conan getting shoved around at Jay's expense.
This whole thing stems from Jay still enjoying his work on TV rather than wanting to retire. NBC screwed up when they guaranteed Conan this promotion within a set number of years. They underestimated how long Jay would be going. And instead of letting him go when the agreed time came, they catered to him (over Conan) when he expressed his desire to continue doing television.
They can say that they wanted to keep Jay around so that he wouldn't bolt to a competing network. But if they had handled this properly, they wouldn't have to be dealing with this conflict anyway. Now they'll probably be competing with Conan, who will be doing this longer than Jay if only because of age. What'll they do when he really wants to retire?
i think you need to listen to the howard stern talkshow a few pages back.Originally Posted by King Beef
