Conan to Jay: It's Almost Time, Old Man!

Posted Jan 20th 2008 10:11AM by TMZ Staff

Conan O'Brien is moving to L.A.! Jay Leno can finally put his fleet of cars to use -- because he'll need them to move out of O'Brien's way! Beep beep, bitch!

The funnyman is set to take over Jay Leno's duties in 2009 and he just began to prepare for his West Coast descent by purchasing a Brentwood mansion listed at just under $10.5 million, according to the L.A. Times.

The elaborate crib is gated, with six suite bedrooms, screening room, a library (equipped with a bar!), pool, an outside kitchen and six fireplaces. Making folks laugh was never so sweet!

65. Just have Jay Leno go over to Fox and start his own show there. A three way competition would be great and I have little doubt that Conan, will lose. I don't know how much longer Letterman will do his show. IMO, he doesn't look all that healthy.

66. All I can say to NBC is, if this happens, you've lost a very loyal viewer for over 40 years now, I've watched the Tonight Show, dating back to Jack Paar.

I have personally boycotted Conan O'Brian for well over five years now, ever since I saw that "Raunchy-Dog" in Canada show, my disgust for Conan O'Brien was forever multiplied. But, even after that, I still gave him an opportunity to impress me. But show, after more disgusting humorless shows, Conan's humor was more raunchy than funny, I stopped watching completely. Whoever his writers are, need to be fired, or replaced, if this happens, cause his raunchy humor stinks

Since I decided to boycott Conan, I started to watch Craig Ferguson. I find Craig Ferguson to be EXTREMELY funny and very entertaining. Ferguson puts SO MUCH MORE of himself into his comedy and show, than Conan could ever hope to. Ferguson's Off-The-Wall humor is hilarious to watch, as far more animated and contains a whole lot more class than Conan has in his little finger. When Conan takes over, I'll be a devoted CBS late night viewer, from that point, on.

Or, I will follow Leno wherever he may go. If it's Fox, well then I'd say, Fox, hire Ferguson, and put him behind Leno. Who knows? Maybe I'll become a dedicated Fox late night viewer, if that were to happen. I love you Jay, I will follow you, wherever you may go. You are the king of Late Night....:)

67. I love the job Jay Leno has done on the Tonight Show. Letterman is just mean, and Conan is too snarky.

When Bette Midler sang the last song Johnny Carson would hear as host of the Tonight Show, I was unhappy, but I knew Jay was a GREAT choice to replace him. Conan? New York state of mind AND attitude. Definitely WILL NOT fly in LA.

I wish the viewers had some say in this, because more people think Jay is great - and Conan is grating, IMHO

69. The Most UN-FUNNY man on tv.

70. I'll bet the folks at CBS and Worldwide Panties are loving this. Letterman will have to do even less than he's doing now. "Uh..where's my 'Top Ten' list?" That bit got stale eons ago.

Damn...I *still* miss Carson.

71. PLEASE I BEG YOU JAY "DO NOT RETIRE". CONAN IS NOT THE PERSON TO REPLACE YOU. I HAVE NEVER BEEN A CONAN FAN AND I WILL NEVER BE. NBC IS MAKING A BIG MISTAKE BY LETTING YOU GO BUT I AM SURE FOX OR ABC WILL WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS AND OF COURSE WE WILL FOLLOW YOU MR. JAY LENO.............GOOD LUCK !

72. And thus starts the beginning of the end of the "Tonite Show" legacy.... PLEASE DON'T RETIRE JAY! WE LOVE YOU....
Conan SUCKS!!!

73. jay should open a bingo parlor after his retirement i see lots of older broads are pouring in with favorable comments!!!

74. For some reason I did think Conan was funny when he first started on the show, but his "humor" is too bizarre even for me. Gaseous weiner? Masturbating bear started with Jack Paar, but I won't finish with Conan O'Brien. He's a writer. Too bad he can't write a good interview. Stay, Jay, please.

75. I can't believe that after all of the years I have watched this show, I will have nothing to watch in another year! Conan is the most unfunny, annoying jackass I have ever seen. He is not funny at ALL. I can't wait to see where Jay lands so I can follow. This will be the end of the Tonight Show!!
