Is it just me or does Conan's Tonight Show suck now?

[Voiceman]

I've always liked Conan but the new Tonight Show seems to be geared toward people who used to watch Leno AND the old late night with Conan. Hard to win when you can't choose a solid format.

If they brought Leno back, where would Conan go? Would he have his own show again?

[dangerman]

Yeah, he's had to tone down the weirder stuff they could get away with at 12:30, but c'mon, he's still funny and the new show is nowhere near Leno level suckage.

[TheLazenby]

I actually really like "The Jay Leno Show" (since I loved Leno's Tonight Show, and it's damn near the same thing, rearranged), and I'd hate to see Jay get kicked off the air.

Besides, NBC won't cancel the universally hated "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon", why would they worry about Leno?

[Dr. Steven Poop]

Would they bump out Jimmy if that happened, or would that just be the end of Conan's late night shows?

I don't think Conan would go back to 12:30. I think he'd jump to ABC or Fox.

I know it won't happen but I'd love to see Conan on a cable outlet like HBO or Showtime. Imagine his abstract humor without censorship. Masturbating bear could really masturbate! And the old timey ghost who would sing those racist jingles would be hilarious.

I would pay for the channel to see uncut Conan. That is a great idea Tarynj.

Jay Leno on poor ratings: I would have stayed in later time slot

Jay Leno's jump to 10 p.m. has been anything but smooth, and now the comedian is airing his frustration.

In a lengthy interview with "Broadcast & Cable," the host of the "The Jay Leno Show" takes most of the blame for his new show's poor ratings, but also reveals that the earlier time slot was not his idea.

"Would I have preferred to stay at 11:30?" he asks himself in the interview. "Yeah, sure. I would have preferred that."

After dominating the late night talk show circuit for 17 years at the 11:30 p.m. time slot, NBC pushed Leno up to 10 p.m. in September. The initial results have been less than stellar. Last Monday, "The Jay Leno Show" posted it's lowest numbers yet, with just 4.6 million viewers, less than the rerun of "C.S.I. Miami" that was on CBS.

But Leno is not far from ready to give up on his new show. In fact, he's excited for the challenge of recapturing his ratings.

"I think it's too soon to say whether I regret anything or not . . . ," he says. "My thing is, I did 'The Tonight Show' for 17 years, that's what I did. It's like the America's Cup; you won it, they can't take it away from you. So now you try this and you see what happens."

Leno also said that after so many years at the top, "I enjoy being the underdog."

Despite being skewered in the press for his show's lackluster ratings, Leno has one thing going for him. He has had an easier month than his rival David Letterman, who admitted to having an affair with one of his staffers.

"I wouldn't trade places with Dave now for anything!" says Leno. "I don't think he's getting a free pass."

Brian McCann as Awesome Dave? Brilliant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9YsB443A8k

Speaking of Brian McCann on Conan, he was pretty funny as the "loser at the beach" back in the 90s. Here are some clips of that and a few other conceptual one-off characters that never seemed to make it...
