Jay Leno's 11 Mill/year raise
 

New contract: 27 Million a Year through end of the decade. For you Leno fans, no worry of his retiring anytime soon:glugglug

I'll be surprised if Letterman goes till 2010.

I fucking hate that useless robot.

Leno is king!! So is Conan :)

:helpme

Conan is great. Leno is a useless fucking robot.

Whether you like him or not the man is getting bank 27 Million a Year! Not bad hugh.

Now THAT's a paycheck! :thumbsup

this clown doesn't desrve that much

:thumbsup

Are you kidding? The Tonight Show is one of NBC's top revenue and profit generators. Why shouldn't the key person responsible get a big share of the profits also?

Big bucks.. I am sure he will add to his huge auto collection now.

A little trivia - Jay Leno doesn't spend any of his Tonight Show salary. He's even said he doesn't even involve himself in the negotiations because he doesn't care - he agent does EVERYTHING.

I wonder if he can spare 20 bucks?



hit me up Leno :Graucho

Conan is (became) way better than Leno

With Leno everything looks soooo prepared, and i hate to hear that dude from the band laugh all the time.
That drummer is even more fake

Conan rules :thumbsup
I love it when he goes like: Late Night with who ??
hehe, funny guy

Lenno sucks

I love his festiva! :thumbsup

Fucking A! :thumbsup
ever see his custom roadster powered by the engine of a WWII tank?

the only thing about leno is the plane hangar full of badass cars...
Conan on the other hand kicks ass

:glugglug

Conan is definitely the shit, but Leno compared to Letterman, come on, Leno sucks ass, its so boring. But I think Conan definitely out does all of them, except for maybe the Daily Show.

I actually though that he would make way more than just $27million. Alot of actors and big tv show actors, make about 3x as much

conan is the best... leno is better than letterman but his show isnt very good... letterman just isnt funny at all, sometimes jay has his moments... did i mention letterman sucks?

Conan is great. Jay bores me

i only the like the part where he shows the bloopers in newspapers and magazines

That's what he said in Seinfeld's movie, but I'm sure he's going to or already has dipped into it to buy a couple cars. He didn't make that much money before the show started. :2 cents:

thats the best part

wish i made his money though

thats a lot of money for a already built in audience

The guy busts his ass day in and day out creating new, fresh material and skits. Everyone knows who he is. He makes NBC a lot of money.

Who's to say what he "deserves" to make?

what he said.

But im in for Letterman eversince.

Conan and Jay ROCK :ak47: :ak47:

It's the hockey, football, baseball and nba players that are grossly overpaid (especially hockey, they are killing the market).

The network will pay Leno what he's worth to them, like it or not.



I miss Johnny.

conan isn't as funny as he used to, not cause andy left, they do the same skits over and over, the game where they take a pic of magnifiy it and stuff, they need to bring back the real funny ones, the staring contests, taking the desk for a drive, and in the year 2000

I bet Letterman is even more envious :glugglug

They still take the desk for a drive and do the year 2000...

Rich get richer

well, Leno is OK, funny and a very nice guy.

but you have to "get" Dave Letterman. just like you have to "get" Johnny Carson, or Groucho, or San Knison (both deceased).

just like you have to "get" Larry David of curb your enthusiasm.

and if you "get" these guys i don't think anyone can hold a candle to them.

and i am constantly amazed that conan o'brien even has an audience, or guys like adam sandler, never understood his sophomoric shit.


but to each his own.

It's not about how good or bad Leon is, but how much money he brings to the network.
People there could care less. As long as he brings the eyeballs they're happy.

Leno is serving a very important purpose for NBC, and not just because of the revenue he brings in....
there's still a very "old" audience out there...and he's a "medium ground" talent between the "old" style of talk show (Johnny Carson) and the "newer" style (Conan, Kimmel and Letterman at times). The "old" audience still likes the lame, scripted bits that Jay does, and doesn't get the edgier stuff.
In 10 years, or whenever Leno retires, the current "older" audience will be irrelevant, and the sensibilities of the mass audience will be such that someone like Conan will be accepted as the host of the country's "flagship" late night broadcast.
Personally, i watch the Daily Show and Tough Crowd, then Kimmel until Conan comes on.

More bikes and cars for him

Anyone know what cars he already has on order? :winkwink:

Cheers,
Matt

That "in the year 2000" thing is boring
i always mute the sound when that bald guy is "singing" with his high voice ... gives me a fucking headache
