VIDEO: Conan The Barbarian Rages On NBC Brass
Posted on Jan 12, 2010 @ 07:52AM
Conan O’Brien was hardly the company man Monday, as the Tonight Show host ripped NBC management, and their fumbling of the current late night schedule, in his monologue.
O'Brien, 46, walked out to thunderous applause from his studio audience; he set the tone of the evening by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, please -- you keep that up, and this monologue won't start until 12:05. And then where would we be?"

With scathing sarcasm, O’Brien joked about being the new host of Last Call With Carson Daly, before mentioning an earthquake struck California that "was so powerful, it knocked Jay Leno's show from 10 o'clock to 11:35."

He continued: "Everybody wants to know what my plans are; everyone's asking me -- all I can say is, I plan to keep putting on a great show night after night, while stealing as many office supplies as humanly possible. I'm going to rob this place blind. I got 10 cartridges of toner shoved in my pants right now -- just jammed down there."

O'Brien, who might be Fox-bound, said regarding his current work problems, he may "leave television altogether and work in a classier business with better people -- like hard-core porn."

Fire Jeff Zucker! Google Jay Leno's manager and him black balling guests, Carson hating Leno, NBC screwing Letterman, Jay Leno manipulator...Whiner, etc., low ratings till Hugh Grant. Take the big buy-out and run, Conan! Boycott NBC/Leno!

Conan's bear all the brunt of Jay's mistakes. The ratings have taken a hit because Leno doesn't retain anyone into 11:30 not even the news! What a disaster!!

You are soooo right! Conan is having to pay for Jay's screw-up!

Jay should do the right thing and leave the network. Conan moved to the West Coast for the show and this is the thanks he gets? I love Conan and think it's time for Jay to move on.

JAY SHOULD HAVE STAYED OFF NBC AFTER HE RESIGNED. JAY AND NBC'S DECISION TO GIVE JAY ANOTHER SHOW DID NOT ALLOW CONAN'S SHOW A CHANCE. JAY LENO AND NBC ARE AT FAULT HERE.

Conan is incredibly funny and witty. He waited patiently for the Tonight Show for years---and this is NBC's thanks in response. It's not Conan's fault that Jay Leno's show is tanking. Leno should take the hit alone.

Jeff Zucker is an incompetent moron scrambling to kiss Leno's boring, unfunny ass. Conan has always been funnier. I hope he leaves NBC before it totally implodes.
