The big question is where Conan will do his show from if he moves to Fox. Will he stay in California, or go back to his home area in New York. I think after spending so much time there in his career he'd probably rather live there. But, I'm sure its easier to get guests and such in California so Fox might want him there. What do you guys think? I kind of get the vibe that he doesn't like LA as much as NYC from his shows.

ABC - Jimmy Kimmel
CBS - David Letterman, Craig Furgeson
FOX - Conan O'Brien
NBC - Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon

The entire Conan O'Brien show on Fox would be done before Jimmy Kimmel starts. This could be awesome though. I like Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien.

The Tonight Show might be something I make a point to watch for the next month and a half. It could get VERY entertaining as Conan rides off into the NBC sunset.

This whole mess might spike the ratings of the show just to see what he says

Conan is the greatest late night comedian of this generation. Letterman was at one time, and there for awhile Leno was as popular as anyone, but, like Jordan did Magic and Bird, Conan surpassed them all and became the best in the game. Over the last seven, eight years, he's been untouchable.

I hope Jay Leno gets burned to death.

Conan is awesome, at 12:30...

NBC is a terrible station though, they only have one show I watch in Heroes, and up until this season, they ruined that... Thank god they let the producers go back to what worked in Season 1...

I don't hate Leno though, but he's no Conan when Conan is allowed to be his best.

Conan needs to go to Fox. Fox has no shame, they will let Conan do whatever the hell he wants. That would only make Conan more awesome.

Also, I watched The Jay Leno Show just to see what it was like. I used to love Jay Leno when he was on The Tonight Show, but to be honest....he sucked. I laughed like twice. I burst out in laughter at Conan's first joke! One hour with Jay Leno got me two chuckles. Thirty seconds with Conan garnered actual laughter. (And I'm not just talking about in bed. Wait---what?! :) )

I was 60/40 leaning towards O'Brien, but now it's 90/10 in my book.

Conan has been on for a long time my friend. Conan started in 1993 and Leno in 1992. So there is no big difference here.

I think they are both terrible and played out and NBC needs to go a different direction.

Have a good life returning to a comedy writer Coco!! Ill give him credit for a good line the other night. He says, "I love NBC and the opportuntity I was given. Ive learned that you can achieve any goal you want in your life. Unless Jay Leno has that same goal!"
