Jay Leno: The Tonight Show Fiasco

jay_conan

Oprah sits down with Jay Leno to hear his side of the story about the Tonight Show controversy and public blame game.

In case you haven't heard the news: there's a huge fued going on between talk show hosts Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien. The ins and outs about it from wikipedia:

In early 2010, American television network NBC and two of its late-night talk show hosts, Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno, engaged in a media and public relations conflict over the host and airtime of the network's longtime program The Tonight Show.

On January 7, 2010, NBC announced that effective March 1, 2010, Leno's program The Jay Leno Show would be moved from the 10:00pm weeknight time slot to 11:35pm and O'Brien's program The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien would be moved from 11:35pm to 12:05am.

The scheduling change was attributed to poor ratings of both shows and resultant pressure from NBC affiliates and NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker.

Though not a breach of either host's contract, the change resulted in a public outcry and public demonstrations largely in support of O'Brien.

Shortly after NBC made the schedule change proposal, O'Brien indicated that he would quit his show and leave the network if NBC were to implement it, citing the "destruction" of the venerable franchise which had aired at or around 11:30 pm for over 60 years.

The controversy surrounding the scheduling move, described by media outlets as "embarrassing" for the network and a "public relations disaster", led to public support for O'Brien from fellow late-night talk-show hosts and other celebrities along with protests on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

O'Brien's departure was officially confirmed by NBC on January 21, 2010, after nearly two weeks of negotiations. His final show aired Friday, January 22, and he along with his staff received a total of $45 million to walk away from the network ($33 million for O'Brien, $12 million for the staff with the exception of Andy Richter and Max Weinberg).

The Jay Leno Show was cancelled and Jay Leno returned as host of The Tonight Show - a move that has received a lot of media and public criticism.

Fast fact: Those who are siding with Conan O'Brien are called Team Coco.

Ah i thoought the Jay Leno Coco story was to day and i missed,so im in the middle of it on youtube.....

Pause:

This a weird story which i dont really care about yet it just caught my attention...
When the whole thing happened, i immmedietly was on Team Coco...lol... I never quite liked Jay Leno...i dunno why.
And i hope to be proved wrong when im done, but i bet Oprah is on Leno's side. 
I hope that Conan O'brian will get  chance to tell his side of the story, if he hasnt already on a platform like Oprah's show. Or maybe public opinion will  sort of vindicate him if it hasnt aleardy. 

$33 million ...americans..smh...

GA,I recently saw a clip on CNN, Coco speaking bout the issue and apparently he went into deep depression over this.He just got a new job and will air later this year,i think its on Fox.He has this ugly beard he's been growing since he left tv screens.

Green.arrow

shem,depressione......so the $33 million means nothing when one's ego and pride and etc is trampled on. Thanx Cnglemother, ill try look up the clip...i wanna see him in the beard....aarme skepsil as Naome would say....

Proved wrong: I think Oprah did a good job with the interview,...even waiting on Coco to come tell his side.
 
And i dont think i can cast the bricks i already had ready at Jay Leno after this....in this business it is more about , the numbers: ratings and the benjamins..not much about principle, although Leno says it was also about protecting his's staff' jobs?...debateable...

Hai but this is just an intresting drama, rich people drama, and i love how the others in the talk show fraterntity had a comic feast on it, Kimmel, Latterman, Ferguson etc...even Rosie weighed in...tl tl...

I still have no idea why im so intrested in this story...??

GA, i have never seen Coco in action but in the wake of the scandal i googled him to know him as as an entertainer.The sad part is how do you go to sleep knowing your popularity and ratings crashed another man's ego and made him a punchline.apparently Jay has never called Coco since he left the network to check up on him(dont know why that bloody agent asked Coco this)

11 May 2010 23:24

And that bugger who tried to blackmail Letterman got six months in jail,you gotta love how justice works when u got money.

GA i guess we all scandal,i fell inlove with Richard Quest after his NYC drug bust and sextoy scandal.He got more human and relatable afta that lol!

Green.arrow
11 May 2010 23:32

aah...cant find the Coco beard clip..:-(

All in all...im happy Coco is sorted, he got a fat handshake from NBC...his staff also got sorted ...and he is bringing them along to the new show apparently....(and he went for principle *sideeye to Leno*? )

AND on the new show: George Lopez is either thee gentlemano of gentlemen for working times out with Coco....or he's very shortsighted business-wise?...time/ratings wil tell.

Aaand...hopefully Leno will worm his way into america's heart again...

And the rich guys will all stay rich...


I feel bad now...spotlight on our Mzanzi late night shows.
How is Melanie's show doing...ga ke na pay tv,so i have no idea? Gareth's show as well??
Aand...i heard Kgomotso is coming back....i love her and the show.
I watched Kabelo's new sports show...and i was impressed.

GA i guess we all scandal,i fell inlove with Richard Quest after his NYC drug bust....that must be true ...lol..bcos now im tempted to wikipedia Richard Quest... 

The sad part is how do you go to sleep knowing your popularity and ratings crashed another man's ego and made him a punchline....i hope it helped that 96% of the 80 000 people who did the Oprah webisite opinion poll were on Coco's side...

apparently Jay has never called Coco since he left the network to check up on him(dont know why that bloody agent asked Coco this)...even now?...On the O innerview Jay said it wasnt the right time to call?.....hai i promised not to throw bricks...Who is the bloody agent now Cnglema?

And that bugger who tried to blackmail Letterman got six months in jail,you gotta love how justice works when u got money...he deserves it that one...teaches other opportunists to weary of doing such. I still feel bad for Dave's woman....

The bloody agent is the journalist lol!,im glad the staff got sorted.so staffers dont belong to the network?I think George Lopez was securing his job and not wanting to stir more drama. Its funny how all these comics are not good on the eye but we love em to bits.GA Larry King divorcing for the 8th time manje he-he!i doubt Mel's show is still on-it was disastrous!the guest were more interesting than her.I am enjoyin Dr Love's kasi dramas on sowetotv,it lacks substence but entertaining.The Lundi interview was the highlight of the show so far,he was high as hell.

Cnglemother
12 May 2010 09:32

Eish GA,i wish you had paytv so u could see this guy (Stephen A Smith)in action.He's a controversial sports anchor/comedian who is a frequent guest on Larry King when discussing celebrity infidelities and scandals.he makes the other guests non-existant and he's funny as hell.make a plan kapaytv hun you cant rely on wikipedia and youtube.

Green.arrow
12 May 2010 09:54

Eish GA,i wish you had paytv.....no more than a year and ill have no choice but tor trade megabytes for paytv...no more than a year...for now ill have to rely on weekends paytv and youtube weekly (i even have reliable YT channels ..lol). Stephen A Smith you say...im on it..hi hi...

Im gonna try to stay up this monday at my hideout,im a nocturnal animal anyhows....im veery curious about Dr loves show now....infact im more curiosu about Dr love than i am about the show..i want to psycho-analyse him following his recent change of "being"... 

On Jimmy Kimmel: one of my fav moments on his show has to be the prank between him, matt damon and ben affleck and his girlfriend....and lots more. And ofcourse he had a piece of Leno during this recent fiasco.

Cnglemother
12 May 2010 10:49

Wow Jimmy Kimmel very interesting like the part where he says Leno must leave their shows alone as they have kids to look after and he has cars!Dr Love is a character nothing has changed since he "converted". I wish you could see mprofithi that "saved" him,he's a frequent guest on the show.thanx GA happy blogging.look at this eyecandy Errol Bennet (CNN) oh the brittamericanoaccent makes him even yummier!i have a gal crush on Hala Gorani,she does the International Desk on CNN i wish she had an accent to acompany her name and looks.
