    That makes me sad. His writers are crap. I probably can't say much about him, since the writers do the work, and he USED to be funny, but Conan has a much better writing team, and was a writer on SNL himself. Plus he has the masturbating bear, and triumph.

    Who watches Leno anyways? Conan rules. Isn't that right Cactus Chef Playing "We Didnt Start The Fire" on a Flute??

    And may the Walker Texas Ranger Lever live on forever.

    Wow I never saw <i>that</i> episode. Triump does own though. And Conan's writers are pretty good. I have to agree with this change, too bad it can't come sooner.

    This would be really bad for current Conan fans because I can gurantee you he'll be alot less funny in an earlier slot. Jay Lenos timeslot pulls in a lot of big sponsers and they don't like edgy comedy.

    You think Jay Lenos show is crap because he's not a funny guy? I've seen his standup he's friggin hilarious but you just tend to be a lot more tame at earlier times. Conan is funny because he is late night and he can get away with a lot of things. Prime time Conan will be lame.

    Plus in 2009 Conan's head will offically be too huge to fit into a recording studio <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Oh crap he's right. If Conan goes prime time, his sponsors will hold him on a leash. Man... I don't want to see Conan become stupid.

    Big woots, cause Conan <i>owns</i> both Letterman and Leno... I just hope he keeps his set the same.

    Conan for President in 2009!

    2009 won't come soon enough, Conan is far funnier than Leno is. I just hope his sponsors won't chain him down.

    LONG LIVE WALKER TEXAS RANGER!

    Who needs conan or jay leno when you have.. <i>Rove Live</i>... Oh joyous occasion, that we may be accepted into His master plan and priviliged enough to catch a glimpse at His most wonderous creation..

    Yeah, I don't like Rove.

    And I don't like prime time tv either.. dr. d is mucho correcto. Why do you think "skithouse" is on at around dinner time, while those funky foreign pornos on channel 2 are at 3 in the morning on a saturday?

    I only like Leno for his "Actual Items" bit that Conan mocks all the time.

    Here's a fun fact: whenever Conan does that bit, he ALWAYS mentions my town of Nashua NH, usually he says the snipping is from the "Nashua Herald" There's only one problem however, the Nashua Herald does not exist. So people in my town get a little extra bit to laugh at on that one.

    I heard that Leno can't leave the studio because his chin won't fit through the door anymore...
