VIDEO: Conan O'Brien Expresses Contempt For Leno, NBC In Monologue
Posted on Jan 14, 2010 @ 09:07AM
Conan O’Brien once again used his monologue on The Tonight Show Wednesday to unleash his bitterness toward NBC and The Tonight Show host that sat in the chair before him -- and will, likely after him, as well -- Jay Leno.

O'Brien, 46, said hosting the Tonight Show was a dream come true, "and I just want to say to the kids out there watching: You can do anything you want in life -- unless Jay Leno wants to do it, too."
Conan O'Brien Ratings Spike Since NBC Drama
O'Brien said he learned of a poll in which 83 percent of voters wanted him to keep his chair on NBC's late night institution, despite poor ratings in his first seven months on the job. He joked that when President Barack Obama learned of his surging popularity, he was thinking, 'How can I get NBC to screw me over, as well?"

The upcoming Winter Olympics, which is said to be the point NBC will replace Conan with Jay in The Tonight Show chair, was comedic fodder for O'Brien as well. He joked that maybe NBC could move the Winter Olympics to summertime, "but still call it the Winter Olympics."

Conan, to demonstrate just how minimized he feels in the network's eyes, did a sketch in which the NBC studio tour passed right through his studio, with the tour guide referencing his inevitable ouster, and talking down to him. Ouch.

I like both of them...it's NBC who is making all this drama and we should be mad at. Also, how sorry can ya be for two guys who are making millions. I wouldn't be crying too hard if they were giving ME $40 million just for leaving.

I'm sick of listening to Conan whine and cry. His numbers suck and so does he

I loved Conando when he was on the late show but he stopped being funny once he landed on the Tonight Show. Sorry but it's the truth. I don't feel sorry for him because he has more money than I could ever dream of having.

Leno must be sleeping with the NBC heads. He is getting favors since 1992.
GO CONAN! THE REAL NICE GUY.

Leno could be #1 on any network at 11:35pm. If the loyalty was to The Tonight Show, Conan would have had #1 ratings. The loyalty was to Leno, his people went to Letterman at 11:35.

um, no. people went to letterman after his sex scandal to hear what he was saying about it. Conan beat him in the ratings before that. Leno is not going to be #1 after all this is over, just watch.

I think they should just get rid of Fallon. He is a horrible host.
