Same Team, Men, Same Team

Chippy Kings-Ducks game tonight. Words were spoken, punches were thrown, keys were furiously tapped. Let us not forget, however, that we are all on the same team in the end. We are all on Team Conan.

Just getting ready to tune in— they need to bring back masturbating bear for these last few weeks. Go out with a bang.
Fear The Fin: Where Selling Your Soul Is The Likely Solution
What’s the deal — can they even keep this up for weeks? Seems pretty crazy already.

he’s got a hiatus scheduled after next week, but he’s trying to schedule big names, so people are theorizing it’s his last week and he won’t come back for the week before the olympics, i.e. the week Jay Leno goes off the air at 10.

Funny, I saw that exact same suggestion a few days ago. I think since Conan seems to be ramping up towards not returning, he might as well pull out all the stops and see if he gets let go sooner.
And my last 2 cents on this topic – while a lot of people are piling on Jay Leno for this situation (and he is a dick for taking advantage of the situation just to get the Tonight Show back), most of the blame on this whole fiasco can be pointed at NBC and their idiotic decision making.
He was forced to retire by NBC
rather than be given the opportunity to retire on his own terms like Johnny Carson. NBC didn’t want Conan to walk out of contract negotiations back in 2004, so they promised Conan they’d kick Leno off the Tonight Show in 5 years and give it to him. Then when Leno wasn’t too happy with that arrangement, NBC gave him his current prime-time slot to appease him.
This has led us to the predicament today where NBC affiliate stations are pissed that Leno’s show is killing ratings for their late local news shows, so NBC’s moving back Jay to late night make them happy. This entire mess can be traced back to Leno being forced out of his spot on the Tonight Show, which was hardly his decision as I noted before.
NHL Network should make a pitch at Conan hosting NHL on the Fly. For purely selfish reasons.

Jesus, that’d be nice! They’d probably have better music then, too.

Meh
I don’t really care for Leno. What I do care is that the right people take responsibility, and in this case, I feel too much blame is shouldered by Jay (though he’s still a dick for signing for a new 11:30 show anyway), when it’s NBC’s bungling of who hosts the Tonight Show that’s the largest cause of this fiasco.
"Forced to Retire" = Karma
Jay screwed over Dave for the Tonight show.
Read “The Late Shift” by Bill Carter. You’ll like the part about Jay hiding in a closet trying to overhear NBC execs. HBO made a decent movie about it as well – Kathy Bates is awesome in it.
Johnny wanted to have Dave follow him, but NBC execs were afraid Jay would jump ship so they FORCED Johnny out – JC never had Jay as a guest following the announcement and never appeared on Jay’s tonight show, but did appear on Letterman.
Side notes:
TMZ says Leno definitely has the 11:30 Tonight Show slot following the Olympics.
Conan’s last show is Friday 1/22, although NBC might pull him earlier considering they’re NBC and don’t like ratings.
Howard Stern has been asked to appear on Conan’s show. He is considering it since he passionately hates Leno, more so since the theft of Stuttering John.
Also, Go Kings.

most of the blame on this whole fiasco can be pointed at NBC
I guess so, but at some point Leno needs to be held accountable for the fact he’s still around. I know it’s not his fault he was born and all, but that doesn’t mean he needs to remain visible to the general public for the next 50-odd years afterward. Like if my breath gave people cancer, I’d probably eventually decide that it’s best for the world that I not leave the house. Or I’d figure out a safer way of disposing of my exhales.

Being someone who is not into watching Letterman, Leno or Conan, I find the whole thing rather ridiculous. So what really now? Not to add a little reality here, but thousands upon thousands have just died a few days ago from an earthquake and these twits want to fight over tv time? They can go rot.
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

Yeah, seriously, people. There are too many real fucking problems out there in the world for us to be wasting time talking about late night talk show wars.
Let’s start behaving like responsible citizens of mother earth and keep talking about hockey. :)
http://www.battleofcali.com/
honestly … even hockey isn’t doing it for me these last couple of days … seeing what’s going on over there just puts a damper on cheering on for the Sharks … (shrugs)

I understand what you mean, too. Hockey is just my blow-off-steam time. I just hope to pay attention to the important things as well as the trivial. But yeah, it’s a healthy dose of perspective.

I’ve just spent the past 3 days cropping photos to cast a fictional movie. It took me like 7 hours, not to mention the time I spent thinking of ideas. I feel like a real piece of shit right now. Thanks, ang.

anytime Rudy … glad I could help … :)
but if you need cheering up, take a look at the highlights from last night’s Kings/Ducks game.

I get your point Ang. If I was making the money that they make you could put me in any fucking time slot you wanted to and I would host any shitty show you gave me. I mean, really, who gives a flying fuck? Everyone DVR’s everything now anyway.
They both have shitloads of money, I think life will go on no matter what happens to their shows.
Real good point Ang— Conan mentioned it on his show (the real problems of Haiti vs. the dust up on NBC).

Yeah but earthquake victims aren’t as funny as Conan, and only slightly funnier than Leno.
Never go to the South for any reason.

My duck confit pic crossed a line. I’m sorry.
I’m also on Team Bob this morning, though. Wyshinski called him ancient today! No, no, Wysh. The proper terms are ‘august’ and ‘my TV grandpa’ and ‘venerable.’ Let him enjoy the Jersey Shore drunken backflips if he wants to.

Kings/Ducks...Conan/Jay
Is it just me or is there a striking similarity to the Kings and the Ducks and Conan and Jay? The Ducks, like Jay are lame assholes who win in spite of their lameness. And the Kings are the cool, lovable team that just can’t seem to get over the hump; kind of like Conan.
The Ducks are Jimmy Fallon: annoying dorks that were inexplicably successful a few years ago.
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
Who is Craig Ferguson? The late night host that actually goes to Kings games.

The cheap shot wasn’t really cheating. Cheating would be the way the can’t win games without crashing into the opposing teams goalie.
What really gives me hope for world peace is that everybody here loves to make fun of Hayward and Perry as much as I do.
