    In the rear 3000. LOL

    Seriously, how many believe this is a ratings ploy?

    I can't imagine NBC allowing Conan all of this leeway otherwise.

    Why would they allow Leno to get roasted on his own show?

    Leno is a company man. But Leno has been roasting NBC as well. It's definitely the drama NBC needed to get viewers watching.

    At this point I'm betting that Conan is staying put.

    Is it me or does it seem like Conan's a lot better going back to his old self? He kept toning down his show to fit the 11:30 audience for the past few years. And now he and his writers can finally let loose.

    At this point, I almost hope Conan goes to cable just so he doesn't have to worry about the constraints of network TV. Either that, or have Fox give him a lot of leeway.

    That's exactly what i was thinking when they were showing Brono dancing on Conan. If Conan goes back to his old self, OMG, that's the best thing coming out of this whole thing!

    Conan is definitely getting funnier. THIS is how he should have come out. Be yourself.

    I was just thinking this. I really forgot how funny Conan was and it's good to see him back in his old form. Too bad he's done, but it may be for the best if he can find another show and go back to what made him so great.

    Conan!!! Funniest man I've ever seen. And Kimmel is the king of roasts.

    Looks like Howard Stern is a possibility.

    I remember reading a magazine profile of Kimmel when he first got his ABC show. He went out of his way to praise Letterman's genius, that he wasn't even going to try to follow in Letterman's shoes, and he also went out of his way to point out what a complete hack he thought Leno was. Glad to see he hasn't softened that stance.

    Utter destruction by Kimmel. Leno made the mistake of having him on a segment with "10" questions in the title. Kimmel started going for blood about midway through, and Leno had no choice but to keep asking the stupid questions, then wasn't even successful in cutting off Kimmel before Kimmel got off the zinger below. Leno, swaying back and forth in discomfort, looked like a boxer out on his feet.
    Awesome.

    Ferguson was brutally classy at his open tonight... reminding everyone that the Haiti situation is much more important than who hosts what show in late night.



    Craig FTW!
