He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

If there isn't a massive shift, I might be changing to Kimmel's show...

Double post, but I really hope he feels like a miserable person for this. I wish no harm, I wish no ill, I just hope he feels bad. Because if Leno has any semblance of a conscience in that chin, he should feel like a real ass.

Missed Leno's show, but can't wait to see a vid of Kimmel's appearance.

Jay: What was the best prank you ever pulled on someone?
Jimmy: I promised someone I'd give him my show in five years, and after five years I gave it to him, but then I took it right back.

Shocker that Jay declined to be interviewed as well, that's fair.

Although I support Conan, I don't think Jay is the bad guy here. That being said, I wonder if 11:30 is worth all this. Jay is getting hit on all sides. I don't know if he can recover.

On one hand, he isn't the one pushing for 11:30. On the other, he isn't turning it down or fighting it at all, so I think he's as much at fault at this point.

Listen, Jay, Conan and I have children! All you have to take care of is cars! I mean, we have lives to lead here! You've, you've got 800 million dollars! For God's sakes leave our shows alone! Although I support Conan, I don't think Jay is the bad guy here. I don't think Jay is THE bad guy here either. Jeff Zucker is, especially since he wants Conan off out of spite at this point regardless of whether it's a smart business move. But Jay should have retired like Carson did, and didn't. He said he would pass the torch, and didn't. Things are really messed up now, and Jay got screwed too. Not as bad as Conan, of course, but still got screwed.

Two choice quotes from tonight's monologue courtesy of Nikki Finke: {Spoiler}"Hi, I’m Conan O’Brien, NBC’s 'Employee of the Month'. There’s a rumor that NBC is so upset with me, they want to keep me off the air for 3 years. My response to that is, if NBC doesn’t want people to see me, just leave me on NBC." {Spoiler}"No matter what happens, it’s been a real honor to sit in the same chair as Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, and Jay Leno." It's gonna be a hell of a night.

OK, that was fun. I have much more respect for Kimmel now.

This whole thing reminds of the Bret Hart screw job. Jeff Zucker is Vince McMahon, Conan is Bret, and Jay Leno is Shawn Michaels (minus the talent in each one's given profession), angrily stomping around and pretending to be mad, while being in on it the whole time. Leno never really wanted to give up The Tonight Show, and now he's going right back where he wants to be.

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.
