The Late Shift Two
Dear Jay Leno:
You knew for FIVE years you were losing your late-night gig. Then you pushed anyway to remain on TV in a later-evening fashion. I do not buy into the “not my fault” “everyone’s angry” bullshit coming from you. I buy into you being happy being paid, and no matter who gets hurt, Jay comes out on top.
For the record, I stand with Conan O’Brien. Where he goes, what he does — I’ll support him.
And as for Jay Leno? His humor has never worked for me – stand up, or as a variety show host. NBC shot themselves in the foot keeping him out of fear about what he’d do with a rival. They ruined their own late night schedule because of it.
I saw Conan on tour last week and it was great. I can’t wait for his new show to come to TBS. It will be the start of a new chapter in late night TV.
