Finally Jay Leno is back to The Tonight Show at 11:30.
I tried to watch Conan O'Brien but couldn't. NBC said that, "he appeals to a younger audience", yeah, junior high school age I guess.
I just thought he was foolish and not funny.
Jay and Kevin Eubanks are a great team, they play off each other so well. And, you can't beat the tonight show band!
So, what say you?

I stopped watching the Tonight Show when Carson retired. I am not a fan of either of the two replacements who took over afterwards so it isn't a big deal to me. I'm just glad they all have it sorted out amongst themselves so I no longer have to hear about the drama anymore on the local newscasts.

Ohhh, and I'm with you Popeye. I love Jay Leno. (Jay-walking cracks me up...I marvel at the dumb people in our streets lol). I was soooo happy when Jay moved to 10pm. But never realized how busy I was doing other things at 10pm, so hardly ever got the chance to see him during that time. I'm with you!!!

I think Jay sucks. He'd be doing the Holiday Inn circuit if it hadn't been for Helen Kushnick. I thought Conan sucked, too. Go on You Tube sometime and look at some Carson clips and then tell me what a great Tonight Show host Leno is.

Carson was a hard act to beat and he had the perfect foil in Ed McMahon too. I don't find any other talk show host worth sitting down to watch like I did when Carson was alive. But think of it... Carson had guests like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, George Carlin, Richard Pryor and the like. These were people worth watching. What do we have today? Silly reality stars and socialites whose only claim to fame is being in the tabloids. By accepting mediocrity in the things we watch we have created a glut of crap, which while it may sell, will never be worth more than their immediate window of fame.

If I didn't know him through his car fetish (my son has done one or two for him), I wouldn't know him either.

It's the entertainment equivalent of bud light

same goes for every thing else these days(including politics)....that said, I didn't really mind conan.Of the three late night main stay names, I thought he was one of the better choices, same goes for kimmel,then again I hardly watch tv other then at friends houses getting drunk(which is probably why I compare everything with beer lol).

you mean his "everything with wheels" fetish.
Real saving grace thou,right?
if a talentless ass hat is going to get paid so much, at least he's using the proceeds to fund a really marvelous collection lol.
