He's a multi-millionaire. Does whatever the hell he wants.
I'd like to try to "recover" from that.

But yeah the guy has made a lot of money. I don't think anyone is denying that.

I think you mean Jimmy Fallon..BigDog wrote: Leno won't retire or go away because NBC won't let him, he's still under a multi year contract that they won't let him out of.
NBC is scrambling because Leno won't survive at 10, Conan is bombing at 11:30 & Jimmy Kimmel sucks.
What NBC should've done was to keep Leno at 11:30 where he was #1, told Conan sorry your time is 12:30 like it or not. As far as Jimmy Kimmel - how in the hell did he ever get a "talk show"?????
If someone thinks Conan would've jumped to ABC or Fox, maybe but he couldn't compete against Letterman head to head he would've completely bombed (worse than he's doing now) going against Leno & Letterman.
Jimmy Kimmel is on ABC, not NBC.

On last nights show
Leno to Kevin Eubanks " Kev do you know how you get David Letterman to ignore you?"
Eubanks "No"
Leno '' Marry him"

Yeah, bad move by Jay. I'm going to say Letterman takes the gloves off tonight and really goes for the throat. Not to mention NBC has to be nervous about what the hell Conan is going to do on Friday(supposedly his last show.)Foul Tip wrote: On last nights show

A war of words isn't Jay's wheelhouse, he doesn't have it in him, plus Letterman has way more material on Leno than vice-versa. Jay would have been better served to just ignore him so Dave would eventually come across as bitter.

Did I understand correctly that Conan can come back in September? Thinking he'll be on Fox in about 6 months?
