Does Anyone Know When Conan Obrian Is Replacing Jay Leno?
 

Does Anyone Know When Conan Obrian Is Replacing Jay Leno? Was that just a rumor or is it actually happening?

2009....

NBC announced Monday that Conan O'Brien will take over from Jay Leno as host of the "Tonight" show. But he'll have time to write his jokes - the planned succession won't happen until 2009.

I was thinking about pitching this crazy hollywood historian to the new Conan show when they relocate to California... I think he would make for a funny "man on the street"
charachter.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

yup 2009 it is and jimmy fallon(sp?) is going to take conans place I hear

and network television takes a hard kick in the nuts...

Conan wroks!

ya i was so over leno.. whats he gonna do now? ride his harleys and fanish into the wind

Well seeing as he makes $32Million a year.. I'd say he can just about do anything he wants.

I'll miss Leno, but I like Conan too.

Conan has earned it. Makes me wonder if Andy will come back to be the new Ed McMahon.

Wow, that will surely be canceled quickly. Jimmy Fallon is a talentless idiot who wishes he was funny.

I thought John Steward is going to take over for Conan....

1. NBC can opt to keep Leno on, by giving Conan a 40 million dollar buyout - after that, Conan could go to Fox or ABC.
2. There is already a bidding war shaping up for Leno if NBC goes through with the plan - and indications are that Leno wants to keep doing his show somewhere.

So basically either Leno stays and Conan is a free agent - or vice versa.

This was a panicked deal to keep both of them for a few more years when Conan's contract was up and he was ready to jump to Fox - and next year the piper has to be paid.

i like Conan lets see how he will do on the Tonight Show...:D

yeah, but the computer and the internet replaced the tv long ago

I used to hate on Conan but have started watching him in the last half of year and hes awesome. Very funny guy.

same here. during the writers strike i gained much respect for him and his comedy skills. with that said, his style of comedy makes him a poor interviewer. letterman is the best interviewer of the 5 late nighters, with nbc's late late guy perhaps coming in second.

Conan is WAY WAY funnier then I ever thought Leno was.... Conan has a bit more edge to his show that I hope he does not have to lose taking over the earlier spot.

When I first saw Conan I thought he had escaped from the psycho ward. After watching him a few times jump about like some lunatic im convinced he is a mental patient gone walk about.

Craig Ferguson beats Conan by a mile and he's funny

February 2009.

I concur. :2 cents:

jimmy fallon sucks ass. He ended his days at SNL by laughing at his own performance even when it wasn't funny. :321GFY

Craig Ferguson is a douche and jokes are not funny.

Gee, that must explain why he's taken over Conan in the ratings...

Craig Ferguson is funny as hell.

I think it's going to be great when he takes over, i've grown a little bored with leno.

Time for Leno to hang them up

then why does he need professional paid laughers in the crowd???

Crazy thought just came to me - what if Letterman retires in 2009 and hands the reins of the Late Show to Leno.
