NEW YORK — NBC on Wednesday announced its long-rumored switch in late night, replacing incumbent Jay Leno at "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon and moving the iconic franchise back to New York.

I think this is great never curred for Leno. David Letterman will always be my favorite but I think Jimmy Fallon is pretty good late night host. Big upgrade over Leno imo.

Complaining that Jimmy Fallon's show is political is like complaining that trees are too loud. [Reply]
I heard an interview with James Corden a few years ago where they said the only thing they tracked was internet downloads. They didn’t care at all about the traditional Nielsen ratings. [Reply]
I said eight years ago that the last late night talk show host I actually enjoyed watching was Craig Ferguson, and that still goes. What an utter wasteland of politard idiocy. I guess O'Brien is okay (or at least was - haven't watched his show in forever) but beyond that it's just levels of douchery. Fallon is probably the least offensive - it seems like he does the spiteful political crap because he either has to or feels like he has to in order to sate his audience, not because he wants to. The rest.... fuck. Kimmel, Meyers and Colbert are walking piles of shit, especially Colbert. He's got to be one of the most loathsome human beings that ever lived.
Compared to Johnny Carson, they're not just swimming in his shoes; they're microbes swimming in the ocean. [Reply]
It hurts how much conan went downhill. He switched to a low-energy format a couple years ago where he sits on a chair (no desk), and talks to a guest. It feels more like dick cavett than conan and it doesn't suit him well. Apparently he goes off the air next month :-)
Please let me go back in time to NBC conan and old-school daily show [Reply]

I like his podcast way better than the Conan TBS version. [Reply]

It's funny. I hear comments like this from what I call "the oblivious left." They honestly don't see how overwhelmingly slanted and political all media is at this point in history. You can point it out step by step and they will disagree until it becomes obvious that they have no leg to stand on then they generally will shrug their shoulders and forget the entire conversation and go back to being oblivious.

Sounds like he just got sick of Hollywood bullshit and quit. Probably made enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life. Hopefully that's what he's doing.
