To everyone comparing this to Montreal, it's more akin to Hogan/Hart and Wrestlemania IX. I predict it's going to have the same end result, too. The big baby is gonna get his prize back, get his spot back, and then the world is gonna prove that the OTHER guy was the guy to carry the ball after all. Agreed. Giving Conan the spot was never meant to be an instant win for NBC. It was a decision for the future. Where ever Conan goes, he sets himself up to become the host of the future, and he will be the most prepared and seasoned when Leno and Letterman retire (or die, whichever comes first). And who does NBC have? Jimmy Fallon won't be ready in time. And Carson Daly doesn't exist.

They will steal the great CRAIG FURGESON. He already said he wouldn't work for "lying rat bastards." So I think that rules him out. I could see NBC reaching out to Jon Stewart, but for some reason I expect him to take Dave's spot. Craig to ABC?

I have never said this before, but Jimmy Kimmel, that was great.

The other great thing about the Kimmel interview is that the audience genuinely sides with Kimmel! There's no awkward silence, there are gasps, but in the end they laugh with him. I guess they got sick and tired of obeying the applause sign. Just visited that link that Slim posted.....and goddamn, is Leno ever getting ROASTED by everyone, including David Letterman now. Hope getting your spot back was worth losing the respect of 99.5% of your audience, and becoming one of the most reviled celebrities in America now, Jay. I mean, after all, you EARNED that spot, right.......BROTHER? To everyone comparing this to Montreal, it's more akin to Hogan/Hart and Wrestlemania IX.

What I really want to know is:
After Trump vs. Rosie and Obama vs Hillary, how soon until we see Conan vs. Leno on RAW?

I could see NBC reaching out to Jon Stewart, but for some reason I expect him to take Dave's spot. Craig to ABC? I dunno. With this recent development, I can see Conan taking over the Late Show once Letterman decides to retire, since he and Dave are tight. Sure, they'd have to move back to NYC AGAIN, but it's better than not having a job for Conan's crew. The big problem NBC has is that they find themselves in a very precarious position. After the way they screwed over Conan, who probably has a lot more friends than Jay and NBC right now, I can't see Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert going against him (both are really tight with Conan, too). Craig Ferguson called NBC "lying rat bastards." There's no way in hell Fallon would be ready in that time, and Carson Daly would probably be hosting his show out of the Pasadena McDonalds at this rate. So if they go with anyone, it'd probably be a complete outsider. Maybe they'd have better luck if Zucker gets canned (and if he isn't, NBC might not exist in a few years at the rate they bleed money from his awful decisions) and can repair a few of the bridges that egomaniac has burned.

The reason I was thinking that Jon Stewart would get Dave's spot is because the last time Dave's contract was up, CBS sent their feelers to Stewart. But if Dave has a say in this, I'm sure CBS would be VERY receptive to sticking it to NBC once again. Not only that, Dave's contract comes up again later this year. I don't know if Dave will retire, he probably feels he has more left in the tank and LIVES for his show. But maybe his sense of vengeance will be too strong.

I posted this yesterday... If there's one thing that I can tell about Jimmy Kimmel's style of comedy, he is going to absolutely humiliate Leno when he goes on "The Jay Leno Show". Leno thinks he can bully Kimmel around on his own show and handle Kimmel like he's a child with his hand in the cookie jar. Kimmel's not going to show up and say, "I'm sorry, it was all a joke". He's going to crush Leno, and it's going to drive Jay crazy. ...and I was damned right. You could see Leno cringing as Kimmel crushed him. I loved how Kimmel took it easy through the first five questions, almost giving Leno a sense of satisfaction, as if Leno was saying, "I knew this chump wouldn't try me on my own show!", and then Kimmel just absolutely tears into Leno towards the end.

Me, I'll always think of him in that outrageously funny skit of his where Liev Schriber played Conan and Conan played his (mustachioed) randomly strange boss. I forget what it's called.
