I'm so excited that Jimmy Fallon is replacing Leno.

Come on now.  An 8 year old with fart jokes would be better to watch than Leno.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying it didn't work out so well for Conan. I love him too but I'm nervous for him because the last time they did this was a total train wreck.

So yeah about that.  Who's fault was that?  Was Leno being an ass or the patsy?

I hope this doesn't happen again.

I'm pretty sure it was the network.  I guess Conan's ratings weren't as good so they asked Leno back and he accepted.  I don't blame Leno for accepting a job that pays a lot of money. From what I understand Conan was still newish to the time slot and hadn't hit his stride yet so he took it horribly.  Now he's on TBS with horrible ratings.  

I think Leno got a lot of crap about it because he also has bad blood with Letterman so he kind of already has a rap as a douche.  Whether it's true or not, I can't say.  I don't watch late night talk shows.

I think Fallon will be much more successful in his transition. He has great comedy and personality, but isn't so dry/"intellectual" that it doesn't translate well to the masses. I think that's why Conan fell short in ratings. He was too dry and smart assy. Funny, but too many people didn't "get" him.
