what in the hell does Haiti have to do with people going out and showing their support for Conan?I really,really don't get it. It's people getting together to support a cause they believe in and donate money to a legitimate world crisis. It doesn't have to go together, but while the people are going out anyway, why not ask to help out the less fortunate along the way? no,no,I think the donations are great.I'm talking about the people that are questioning others for wanting to go out and show their support for Conan,while "more important things",like the quake in Haiti are going on in the world.

I selfishly hope this page hits 30 before The Tonight Show so we can get a fresh "The Late Night Wars" thread to post in so that it doesn't have to be locked mid-show.
Can't wait for tonight. I'm expecting some truly epic television this week.

Its shame South Park season is divided into the spring and fall. They would have a field day with this.

Apparently Jay has addressed the issue in tonights show seemingly in an attempt to appease angry Conan fans that may tune out when he returns to the Tonight Show in March.

Eh I'd rather watch it (kinda) live.... still I think it's funny that Jay's protraying it as an off the cuff thing when the entire speech was given to the press in advance. I mean it made ABC news.

It's weird. Where was all this Conan support when he was getting low ratings? There were people who cheered him on when he first took over the Tonight Show. If you do a search on here, you'll find such threads. I don't think ratings mean jack squat as long as you enjoy what you're watching.

In fairness ratings have to matter from a business perspective at some point. However seven months is basically nothing. Leno had a period of 23 months before he over took Letterman. I don't think anyone thought that Conan was in danger of losing his job within the first year so there wasn't the necessity of showing the loyalty to Conan that exist now.

Plus, Nielson can't keep with the changing face of how people watch shows. It's a good bet that most of Conan's audience was watching on Hulu.

Does someone have a link to all that protest mayhem footage that I COMPLETELY missed? With Conan on a roof and rain and chants and such? I saw it two or three pages ago in this thread, but I want to see the footage for myself. This sounded beyond awesome.
Also, Seth Myers on SNL's Weekend Update was one of the Top 3 segments about the NBC/Leno/Conan triangle since this whole fiasco got started. I rank it funnier than Kimmel's stuff personally.
And finally, ignore the whatever-you-want-to-call-him that keeps coming back in this thread over the last couple of days to ruffle everyone's feathers. He does this same sort of thing quite often all over these boards for the want of attention (at least that's my only guess).
