View Full Version : Conan Prepares to Take Over Tonight Show
Brian Damage 05-01-2007, 09:40 AM The Associated Press
He's still two years away from replacing Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show," but already Conan O'Brien seems to be sizing things up.
"Have you planned any changes while ... you were looking?" Leno asked when O'Brien dropped by the late-night talk show Friday.
O'Brien reassured Leno, the show's host since 1992, that he won't be moving onto its Burbank set any time soon.
"It's years away," O'Brien quipped, adding that rather than succeed Leno in 2009 as planned, he's decided to take the job Rosie O'Donnell is leaving on daytime television's "The View."
"I got the call this morning from Barbara Walters," he said, adding he planned to pick up where O'Donnell leaves off and begin picking on Donald Trump.
Leno joked that the redheaded O'Brien has "got the hair" for the part, although "it's going the wrong way" to really match Trump's elaborate comb-over.
"Exactly," said O'Brien, who has hosted "Late Night" since 1993

Why his goofy a$$ was selected to take over the Tonight Show is very puzzling to me.

He was selected, because he is the funniest man in late night right now.

Why because he jumps around like a fool? If you are really funny you don't have to jump up and down and act l like as fool, you know like Jay Leno

No, the man is a comedy writer, has a great delivery and knows how to make people laugh.
Scoobiedoo30 05-03-2007, 02:58 PM when is Conan scheduled to take over for Jay Leno
roseha 05-03-2007, 11:17 PM 2009, and that's when I will start watching the Tonight Show again!
Sorry Jay...
BTW I saw Johnny Carson in his cameo in the Orient Express ep of Get Smart over the weekend and anyone who doesn't remember him can watch that to see what brilliant timing he had.

I can guarantee that when Conan O'Brien takes over the Tonight Show, the ratings will double!
roseha 05-03-2007, 11:33 PM So you like GOOFY MEN
You don't like Johnny either Solomon??
TVFactFan 05-03-2007, 11:41 PM You don't like Johnny either Solomon??
No Johnny Carson wasn't funny to me.
Brian Damage 05-03-2007, 11:42 PM No Johnny Carson wasn't funny to me.
:eek2:
catlover79 05-04-2007, 12:01 AM Is Conan going to stay in NY and do the show there or is he going to go west? I think it would be cool if he stayed in NYC and the show kept its East Coast feel. I know Johnny Carson did the show in NYC before he moved the whole outfit to Burbank.

My belief is that he will move to California.
