Conan O'Brien Invites Jay Leno On His New Talk Show: "He Can Come As The Musical Guest"
Posted on Thu Nov 4, 2010 01:35 PM PDT
Ouch! But Conan O'Brien is a funnyman, so we're assuming he was just joking around. Ish.
The 47-year-old talk show host, who debuts his new TBS shindig on Monday, gives a pretty frank interview with Playboy's December issue about, you guessed it, leaving NBC and rival Jay Leno:
- "I have had too many good things happen in my career to end on any kind of bitter note. I'm just saying this to you; we're alone in this office, and I don’t have to say this: I am an incredibly fortunate person ... And as crazy as this sounds, my career with NBC was overwhelmingly positive until this ... The entertainment business has an amazing way of turning really lucky people into bitter, angry, rage-filled, jealous, resentful wretches who can’t believe they got screwed. Some things have worked out great for me, some things haven't. You keep going."
Someone's not holding back! And about Leno himself? "[Leno is] a guy you hear coming a long way off. There aren’t many three-cylinder engines in California that run on peat moss. And we hang out in different circles, so I don’t think we’ll be bumping into each other."
Conan adds that Jay Leno is welcome on his new show "as the musical guest." Why? "Because that I want to see," proclaims Conan. "No one knows he has an operatic range."
Awk!

Well, here goes. I can't even believe I'm lowering myself to comment on anything to do with this turd head. Ha! Look at this poor guy Coonan's hair. That's enough to make anyone laugh.
Get a life and get over it. You're nothing but a second rate idiot. Who's laughing now? Leno, all the way to the bank.
You were losing audience that's why they canned your dumb ass.
"The entertainment business has an amazing way of turning really lucky people into bitter, angry, rage-filled, jealous, resentful wretches who can’t believe they got screwed."
Well, Conan, the rest of the human race, the majority of people are never lucky. They never get out of paycheck by paycheck no matter how hard they work. Should they all be bitter, angry, rage-filled, jealous, resentful? What will the world be if they all turn into bitter wretches? Regular folks got screwed on daily basis, all right, you spoiled brat.
Conan got lucky because his college friend was the head of NBC. Can we say nepotism? He didn't earn it by showing talent. There is some connection involved. It's not exactly a fair and square situation. Now he is crying foul play because they wanted to push his show half an hour late? What earth does he live on?
It's all cool and fair to him when his friend helped him get ahead even though there's plenty of more talented comic writers who can also do comic act. But it's not cool to this albino when they take the time slot away due to poor ratings.
He complained NBC didn't give him enough time to warm up the ratings but Jay Leno got more time to jump start the ratings 15 years ago.
What is that? Kids counting candies at kindergarten? "Not fair! Not fair! He got more candies." Give it a rest already. Get over it! That was what? 15 years ago. NBC had different management, different style and different situation then. Corporations change all the time. Big deal.
Conan is a cry baby. Dude! You are an American. You don't have a clue how corporate America operates? Mergers, drastic changes, and so on. You like the big paycheck and perks corporate America can give you. You should also be prepared what it can do to you when it's not profitable.
Conan better watch his Irish a** or Rupert Murdoch is gonna hunt him down like the dog he is and send his Italian goons out for him. He better hope his show doesn't take viewers away from Hannity or O'Reilly?...lol.
His Leno jokes are getting as old and stale as the same jokes he told week after week on the Tonight Show. He seems to always forget that he went to NBC when his Late Night contract was coming up and refused to sign unless they guaranteed him the Tonight Show within a few years. What did he think would happen to Leno when he did that. Exactly what happened. NBC went to Leno and asked him to retire so they could keep Conan. Only thing is Conan couldn't bring in the ratings so they canned him. What a jerk. I'm sure his new show will do good for a couple of weeks but I'm willing to bet his ratings will drop off after that as people remember, he wasn't that funny.
You failed and landed on cable where nobody watches so consider yourself lucky you still have a job... ugh whiny libs
Con_an, suck my Bone-an you worthless piece of shit.
Oh yea, do something with that fucked hair do too and shave. You look like shit on a stick.
This guy looks like he's getting ready to lose it. Looks really bad and fragile.
Stop Fcking bashing Jay, you pussy..Christ dont you have enough Fcking money from that piece of crap show you hosted??
Letterman the creep and bitter Coco still can't get over the fact that Leno is the King of Late Night for twenty years now.
