    Lopez's family show wasn't bad for it's niche. OTOH, His comedy routine is atrocious.

    It's strange that you say this because I always imagine each of your posts being spoken through the voice of George Lopez.

    Since Conan cannot use the masterbating bear, he has introduced the self pleasuring panda.


    It really stinks if he cant use his own character creations. Just hard to believe Triumph is dead.

    Who says Triumph is dead. Pretty sure that character belongs to Robert Smigel.

    well triumph is a little different and although robert performs as triumph, who actually thought of it i dont know. He did debut on Conan so i'm not sure if it was a Conan production creation or what...

    Regardless, substitute him for pimpbot or masterbating bear to ignore technicalities

    Conan: I Wouldn't Have Done What Leno Did To Me

    In His First Post-Tonight Show Interview, He Tells Steve Kroft He Wasn't Even Sure NBC Really Wanted Him to Stay

    (CBS) Conan O'Brien says he would have left NBC rather than do what Jay Leno did to him, in his first interview since being forced off the Tonight Show.

    O'Brien's interview with "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft will be broadcast this Sunday, May 2, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

    "He went and took that show back and I think in a similar situation, if roles had been reversed, I know...I know me, I wouldn't have done that," O'Brien says. "If I had surrendered The Tonight Show and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well and then…six months later. But that's me, you know. Everyone's got their own, you know, way of doing things," he tells Kroft.

    Asked by Kroft what he would have done, O'Brien says, "Done something else, go someplace else. I mean, that's just me."

    O'Brien eventually left NBC, deciding not to play second-fiddle to Leno. He says he didn't see the point in giving his all in a relationship that seemed to have no future. "I think this relationship is going be toxic and maybe we just need to go our separate ways," he says. "That's really how it felt to me…and I started to feel that I'm not sure these- people even really want me here….I can't do it [anymore]."

    Well, apparently Lopez liked the move. I guess he feels like it can only help his ratings.

    I didn't realize what Leno did was so shitty. You also have to hand it to Conan, he paid the entire crew out of his pocket for close to a year.

    I don't even get how people found Jay funny, he caters to the lowest common denominator.

    He was actually pretty well regarded as a stand up. Talk shows are about high profile bands, guests and getting a good story or interaction out of them.

    long live Conando!

    That man will be honored with a roar of cheers when he decides to to step down and retire not because he was forced to.
