NBC paying out 45million. Tomorrow is Conan's last show
BOO!!
NBC is so stupid, I hope this turns around and bites them in the ass. I hope Conan can go to a network who values their employees, and does not screw them over. It really makes me wonder whether or not Jay Leno can get all of his viewers back. I am not going to say I won't watch Jay. I like Jay. I just thank its complete BS that he said he would retire in 2009, back in 2004, HANDED the show over to Conan, and is now going back because nobody watches him at 10/9c. Conan's show, according to someone at NBC, was a "complete failure". Complete? Isn't that a little extreme. Sure, it was not as popular as Leno, and Dave did beat him, but only after Dave's controversy. Now, Conan has the highest ratings he has ever had because of the controversy.
NBC wasted $500 million on Conan's studio. How stupid. They wasted money on Jay's set. Maybe Jay will keep the same set, but taking the random "10"s off the set. Still..BIG waste of money, money that NBC probably doesn't have much of because they don't know how to run a successful network (aside from news, of course..).
I will definitely be watching tonight. While Conan may not have been the funniest of them all, I still liked his humor. I feel everyone has a different type of humor, and unfortunately, Conan's was not liked by many. Best of luck to him. We have NOT seen the last of him (well..8 months from now we won't).
