Jimmy Fallon Cinches Conan's Job
The word is out among the NBC brass: As rumored and bounced around for some time, Jimmy Fallon is set to take Conan O’Brien’s job as host of "Late Night" in 2009. It’s a done deal.
Conan, of course, will be taking over for Jay Leno, who will leave the "Tonight" show in May 2009 as part of a forced retirement.
There’s much debate about letting Leno leave NBC etc., but right now let’s just concentrate on Jimmy. He’s the perfect successor to Conan and should have just as big an audience when he takes the reins. Fallon is one of those great underrated performers. This should be the right milieu for him.
I’m told NBC will make the formal announcement about Fallon around May 11 or 12, when the network presents the fall '08 schedule to advertisers here in New York.
Fallon, who recently married producer Nancy Juvonen, is said to be thrilled and ready, if not a little scared, about taking Conan’s desk. He still has to pick a producer and a band, among other things.
As for Leno, he has plenty of options. One of them might be to replace "Nightline" on ABC, pushing Jimmy Kimmel back to 12:30 a.m. But a lot can happen between now and May 2009 in the chess game they call TV programming.

You shut your damn mouth. Come in here spouting shit like that again and you're bound to get cut.

I knew that would probably piss some of you off, but that's the way I see it.

I have never lynched anyone before, but you would be my first. Blasphomey

There's gotta be at least one more person on this board that agrees with me. If not, then :fu:. Conan sucks big ol hairy balls.
-
Conan's okay, if you can get past staring at the stupidest fucking hairdo on the face of the planet. Not that Leno's is much better but FUCK!!!

I agree with you ssgau. Conan is not funny and not worth watching.
In fact the only late night entertainment worth watching is Jimmy Kimmel...or listening to Coast to Coast AM on the radio...or watching porn.

Conan isn't funny...but to get my laughs I listen to AM radio...lame. Do you have one of those colored picture boxes? But Seriously, How was the Oregon Trail?

I agree as well. Conan is just not funny. I prefer to watch Craig Ferguson during the time frame.

Conan is the only late night show worth watching. And if you don't enjoy it then you're either A) old or B) a child molestor. You aren't that old are you?

Humor is also subjective and he's just not funny to me. I'm not going to apologize for it...if you enjoy his humor then more power to ya. You seem awfully touchy about defending Conan's humor. Jeez!
I like watching Kimmel when I watch late night.
Freedom of choice is a good thing.
No go fuck yourself (that's meant to be a humorous taunt...nothing personal).

AWK's just a little sensitive. Conan's like family late at night after long nights of studying legal bullshit. You insult Conan, you insult AWK's family. It's that simple.

A LITTLE sensitive? Jeez...making a "child molestor" inference and using the term "colored"!
My mixed race child, mulatto wife, and I are insulted!

At the risk of further upsetting AWK, Fallon is :cage: to me either.
SNL has never really been as good as the days when Gilda Radner, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Bill Murray, Laraine Newman, and Garrett Morris were in the cast.
But then again I'm getting close to deconstructing what is funny and not funny and that brings to mind a quote I recall "Humor can be dissected like a frog but then the thing dies in the process and the innards are only interesting to scientists."
-
I was just going to say, I bet these Conan haters think Jimmy Falon would be an improvement.
Upon reading the title I was going to say he'd be better suited to replace Carson Daly so the show could continue to be desperately unfunny.

I totally agree, Fallon is not funny at all. I am just joking around by the way.

Why do you hate old people?

Jim Cramer now that would be a funny show.

Sorry guys... Conan really sucks. He's just not funny at all.
As for AWK's sensitivity on the subject, some people watch porn for sexual stimulation, and some people watch Conan... You don't earn the title "King of the reach-around" for nothing. Here ya go AWK...

Yeah, my bad. I forgot the whole age/comedy differential. Its too bad your old as shit or you might find Conan. But speaking of porn, I found some good jerk off material for you.

I really don't believe that it's an "age/comedy differential" with Conan. I usually enjoy watching Jimmy Kimmel if I'm going to subject myself to the late night clowns. Leno and Letterman aren't bad. The others are just lame. Maybe, if you smoked a joint, some of these others might stir a chuckle, but without some sort of chemical assistance, they just put me to sleep, which might even be the point.
To be honest, I've probably watched about 50 hours of Conan over the last 10 years. Of that time, I think I found about 2 hours of that time to be worthwhile and funny.
Its too bad your old as shit or you might find Conan.
Might find Conan what? What is it you're trying to say? Look, you're just going to have to spring out of that closet. The small rainbow bumper sticker isn't enough anymore.

Your collection of homo-erotic photos is amazing. Unfortunately, it doesn't interest me. Go try recruiting somebody else to your lifestyle.

Late Night Pecking Order:
1) Letterman...he's still the king.
2) Kimmel...he gets bonus points for fucking Sarah Silverman
3) Conan...he has his moments and his place is mostly solidified by his affiliation with The Simpsons.
4) That annoying British guy....because he's better than the remainder of the list, if only marginally.
9) Leno...anyone that makes my grandparents laugh is fucking lame, by default
10) Carson Daly....because he's Carson Fucking Daly.

The funny thing about you, is that you are always the one to go straight to the assumptions of gay. Which is rather funny, because for someone self proclaimed straight you sure do focus on homosexuality a lot. i.e. I said I think Conan is funny, and that translates in your mind into the fact that I want to have gay sex with him. I post a farked picture of O'Reilly, and of course your mind goes straight to gay. It must be rather lonely in that closet.

Not to mention he's made the only references on the board (two) that are associated with NAMBLA.
Just sayin'
But I still wish I hadn't googled that organization. Makes my stomach turn.
Fuck it. You all need to suffer as well
North American Man/Boy Love Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[1]The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is a New York City and San Francisco-based unincorporated organization in the United States that advocates the legalization of sexual relations between adult males and under-aged boys. It has resolved to "end the oppression of men and boys who have freely chosen mutually consenting relationships" in spite of the fact that such relationships constitute child sexual abuse under U.S. law, as the minor is unable to give legal consent. NAMBLA also calls for "the adoption of laws that both protect children from unwanted sexual experiences and at the same time leave them free to determine the content of their own sexual experiences."[2] NAMBLA's webpage claims that: "NAMBLA does not provide encouragement, referrals or assistance for people seeking sexual contacts" and that it does not "engage in any activities that violate the law [or] advocate that anyone else should [violate the law]."[3]
NAMBLA holds an annual gathering in New York City and monthly meetings around the country.[4] In the early 1980s, NAMBLA was reported to have had over 300 members, and was supported by such noted figures as Allen Ginsberg.[5] Since then, the organization has kept membership data private, but an undercover FBI investigation in 1995 discovered that there were 1,100 people on the rolls.[4] It is the largest organization in the umbrella group Ipce[6] (formerly "International Pedophile and Child Emancipation").[6]
Since 1995, public criticism and law enforcement infiltration have heavily impaired the organization. Its national headquarters now consists of little more than a private mail box service in San Francisco, and they rarely respond to inquiries; it has essentially ceased to exist. Some reports state that the group no longer has regular national meetings and few local monthly meetings, and that as of the late 1990s to avoid local police infiltration, the organization discouraged the formation of local chapters.[7][4]

Well, what the fuck do you think "King of the reach-around" means??? Do I need to describe the action for you? You put it out there for everyone to see, and as soon as somebody starts jabbing you for it, you get all bitchy and turn it on them. I do think that you protest a little too much. It must have struck a nerve. :poke:

Don't hate! It's not like we're talking about the Super Adventure Club.
I do seem to recall AWK throwing "child molestor" around in this very thread, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

She warms the cockles of my cold, black, Republican heart!
