Karma's A B*tch: Jay Leno Getting Lower Ratings Than Conan Did

jayconanratings.jpg
Jay Leno's costly and embarrassing return to The Tonight Show was a gamble that hasn't paid off for NBC. Not only is he getting much lower ratings than he did before he briefly passed on the crown to Conan O'Brien, but he's getting lower ratings than Conan O'Brien did during his seven-month stint.

Although Jay routinely beats The Late Show With David Letterman, the new champion of late night is actually ABC's news magazine show Nightline.

Considering that Jay, who's got a two-year contract with Tonight, costs twice what Conan did, NBC may have the mind to terminate his run early (like they did with Conan) and go with a cheaper replacement.

But with Conan out, who would that leave? Jimmy Fallon?

Or would they try to pluck one of the other network's late night hosts, like Craig Ferguson or Chelsea Handler?



I say Chelsea all the way!

Never liked either one of those two azz clowns. They weredownright mean to people.

Kimmel and Letterman are funnier - their humor may sting but it does not destroy people verbally.

I love the way all you blogs don't print the whole story. Conan was ahead in the 18-49 market. Leno is still way ahead in overall viewers then either Conan or Letterman. Most people who watch Late Night Television are over the age of 50. That 18-49 age group are only households that bring in more then a hundred thousand a year also. If your household brings in less then that Nielson dosen't give a shit what your watching.

Chelsea Handler is the most annoying person ever. Why is she even on tv?
Is her claim to fame insulting people?
If I pass her channel and she's on I quickly change it.

Mark......thanks for clearing that.
The media always parses or takes things out of context just to attack someone they don't like or make them look bad.
It's called BIASED.

If any viewers are turning against NBC. it's because of their news division and management being in bed with Obama and the going green scam they are advocating not to mention the selling of goods to Iran that turn around and use against the troops in weaponized forms in Aghanistan.

Hey azz clowns, the commercial prices for shows are set by that lower aged demographic. That is what the advertisers want, so half the elderly population in the world could watch Leno and no one would give a crap, cause they wouldn't make a penny more. NBC wants the younger demo so they can bump up commercial prices. Know your facts before spewing shiat!!!
