I think what makes all of Conan’s Leno jokes funny is that he probably has thought of so many that he just doesn’t say out of respect and legal reasons that whenever one does slip he knows it’s gonna kill.
I like how, at that time, celebrities fully supported Conan and kept mocking Jay Leno on national televison Just so cool to see them do the Jay Leno's impression just like Conan 😂
And some celebrities supported Leno. The real issue was nobody really knew what happened except Leno and Conan. Unfortunately Leno, for whatever reason, chose not to respond, unlike Conan who couldn't stop. Leno's silence made him look bad. It wasn't until much later that it all came out in Bill Carter's book "The War for Late Night". That's where the truth about what happened is... for those who are willing to hear it.
@@nicke.3782Lenos a snake. It’s not a secret. He literally hid in the closet to spy on Letterman then took Late Night from him. Imagine what he did to Conan.
@@mervinprone You got one thing right. Leno did hide in a closet and listened in on what the NBC's execs were saying about TTS. However, he did NOT take TTS from Letterman. Letterman NEVER had the job. The execs did not want him. Carson wanted him as his replacement, but he didn't own the show. Leno was chosen because he had been guest hosting for -5- years and when he did, TTS numbers remained consistent. "Imagine what he did to Conan"??? You offer no specifics. Here are some for you. Conan cut a deal behind Leno's back to get TTS. His ratings were dismal. He resisted changing his routine up to reach a broader audience and refused NBC's suggestion to move back 30min and let Leno do a 1/2hr show at 11:30. Leno's monologue was the highest rated. This would have given Conan the lead in he whined about. He refused... and then he QUIT. One more thing... where were all you Conan fans when he was hosting TTS? I'll tell you where... watching Letterman.
The fact that Jay is SO serious about the cars makes it so easy. I mean, he could be the same enthusiast/collector he is now, but also have some perspective/humor about the whole thing.
I like how the sound ranges wildly between clips. Makes for a suspenseful viewing experience, as you sit there with your finger on the volume regulator.
God DAMN Ray Romano was fucking fast on that "That was Jay Leno" crack. I don't even think Dr. Ruth got the joke, she probably immediately thought "Oh a joke about me being forgetful because I'm old, huh?" and you can tell Conan is going "God DAMMIT I wanted to say Jay has a dong for a chin!"
Conan and Letterman remain relevant to the cultural conversation years after leaving network TV. Carson, too, for that matter. Leno is a ghost - 20 years as host of the top late night show on TV, and it’s like he was never there.
@delvictor7570 Well yeah, at the being because he wasn't a known well figure when he took over, but he proved himself as a great host and comedian and still has a dedicated fans even after his show ended and has a successful podcast and upcoming travel show on hbo
Jay Leno, for how long he did his job and how popular he was, has left no lasting impact on late night. He’s forgettable, did not innovate, and made years of mediocre TV. I can’t think of anything he did. Even compared to Letterman, who I don’t even like all that much, Leno’s legacy is small.
@@nicke.3782 He didn't dispute that Jay was popular at the time; in fact, he admitted it. He said that Jay left no lasting legacy. And I think that's 100% correct. Conan and Letterman are still part of the culture today. Nobody important has thought about Jay Leno in years.
@@louisgreubel742And I will say the same thing to you. That's your opinion. Leno left at number one... twice. Conan couldn't get any traction on TTS and then left for TBS where is one hour show got reduced to a 1/2 hour show, amid severely declining viewership. And you say Leno left no legacy? You got the wrong guy.
I always think about what Conan said about cynicism on his last Tonight Show. I wonder if his anger and hopelessness in this situation helped fuel that speech since this is the most cynical I've seen Conan. He probably saw the world responding with anger with him and young people getting hungry for blood seeing Conan diss Jay, and he wanted his final message to be more than just a bitter goodbye. I'm thankful that he did that because in todays ultra cynical world, those words have meant more and more to me. Thank you, Conan.
Conan probably never liked Leno. Its not playful banter like if talked to Letterman or other hosts. I love how he made fun of Leno to his face but still kept it light.
The entire issue was ending Jay's tonight show BEFORE his contract. That was illogical. So Nbc tried to give him something to do, and what he did screwed Conan. Just a wild ride of terrible decisions on Nbcs part.
Leno also verbally agreed to back up 5 years prior publically. He then changed his mind and some how tried to make it seem like NBC was the one who screwed up... in reality he had his team negotiate a better contract. Yes, that was his right and legal. It was also unethical and that's why nobody likes him.
Leno's contract didn't end until the following January. It was probably done that way to keep Leno from going to ABC and starting a new show. Then Conan would be up against Letterman AND Leno. He would have been crushed.
@@nicke.3782Yes, unfortunately because majority of Americans didn't like Conan's absurdity, and preferred boring Jay. Just like the repetition of Fallon now.
Actually the issue wasn't that contract, it was the 2 year pay and play contract he struck with NBC when taking the 10 pm slot. That way if the show tanked and they had to pay him off, he'd take NBC to the cleaners. So, NBC did what businesses do. Paid off the cheaper person.
Conan wanted to leave at the end of his contract so they gave him the tonight show to keep him. He moved his family, young kids and staff across the country and they pulled this crap. Conan is too smart and funny for NBC
@@ytsn_THE_OG Publicized by Conan and Howard Stern. If you read "The War for Late Night" you can see for yourself who was at fault for the whole mess. The facts are in the book. Conan has no one to blame but himself.
@@nicke.3782 I don't understand what your point is. You asked a question and I answered it, then you argued with it. Clearly you weren't alive or old enough at the time.
@@ytsn_THE_OG When I asked how the poster knew that... it was done "tongue in cheek". I already knew all about. I was just calling out another Conan fan who thought this was all on Leno. Notice he didn't respond, and notice your answer was so ridiculously general... that it really wasn't much of an answer. I read the book. The real... fact based... story of what happened. As time went on the REAL story came out... not just the unsubstantiated views of Conan fans. You all think that Leno voluntarily retired, gave TTS to Conan, and then stole it back. Nothing could be further from the truth. I suggest you read the book. One more thing... I was in my fifties when this came out so... wrong again.
Years after all the drama with The Tonight Show, Conan still remains memorable and relevant to the TV landscape, while no one even remembers or cares about Jay Leno. Karma always comes back around.
Gee... I remember Conan as the guy who jockeyed behind Leno's back to get TTS... and then couldn't hold onto it and subsequently QUIT. Then TTS was offered back to Leno, who never should have lost it to begin with. Karma got somebody... and it wasn't Leno.
@@nicke.3782You must be Leno's burner with the way you're glazing him all over this comment section. Or maybe it's just an unhealthy obsession on your part.
Conan is such nice guy but man his feelings for Leno run deep and I love everyone has Conans back. Personally I'm happy as I'm not sure we would have the great Conan abroad segments which are his best work.
I saw leno at a casino last night, was given a free ticket. I was the youngest guy there at 42. The jokes were basically all one liners like he was doing a monologue on the tonight show. Some of them were definitely from that era too, super dated stuff. There was a few chuckles from me, but nothing to make me actually laugh. Just soft chuckling. It was definitely aimed towards the crowd of 70yos there.
What was NBC thinking getting rid of Conan!? He is a late night legend. The very last of them and they went with Jimmy Fallon! 😂 How are those ratings doing now!?
Yes. She had a show about sex toys, and the last time she was on, she brought a dildo that straps to your chin, and she put it on, and just let the visual create the humor. Sitting next to her were WWE superstar THE BIG SHOW, who's about 7 feet tall, and 500lbs, and next to him was Burt Reynolds. She brought out the chin dildo and said "Not every guy needs to have a big penis, so I brought this" and BIG SHOW says something like "Oh, I don't know. I wouldn't know anything about a small penis. Nothing about me is small" And Burt said something like "I've never heard any complaints". Then they swing back to her, and this chin dildo is just bouncing on her face, and Conan is losing his shit in his chair.
I am so sad about how both David Letterman and Conan o Brian were treated I want to take there place Letterman made and estimated 200 million more by going to CBS and Conan went to tbs and went to 9th place plus has a net worth of over 100 million dollars I have a hard time fealing sorry for these guys
4:41 Funny thing is, Sandra Bernhard briefly dated Jay Leno, and she said on the Stern show once that he was so big, she could barely "accommodate" him.
I thought Sarah Bernhardt wasn't really a fan of "accommodating" anything down there. 😂 I bet he's got more a Studebaker than a stretch limo if ya know hee-hee-hee!
I wonder how much of the whole fiasco was Conan's doing, versus how much was his agent. Leno was pressured into giving up the Tonight Show by NBC, who were being pressed by Conan's agent, that if he didn't get the Tonight Show immediately he'd go to another network and compete directly with Jay. NBC finally offered the infamous five-year plan. But by then, Conan wasn't as hot, and so NBC hedged their bets by putting Leno on at 10:00, which he was not in favor of. Both shows completely tanked, and NBC had little choice but to revert to the status quo. People think Jay planned to retire, and then he promised the Tonight Show to Conan out of the kindness of his heart. Nothing could be further from the truth, but Conan sure sold it. I like Conan. I have a few issues with Jay. So I'm not just taking shots here. I just think that the public was intentionally manipulated into viewing Conan as the victim, when he (or his agent) was actually the one who set the whole thing up to fail from the beginning.
@@inranglhood60 How did he screw over Letterman? "Ask anyone under 30 who Leno is" .... How about this... Ask anyone over 30 who Leno is. NBC wanted Leno. They did not want Letterman. Carson did. However, NBC owns the show... not Carson. Conan took TTS from Leno. That is a fact. He did poorly and in the end he QUIT. Leno's legacy is just fine.
@@wecantfightgravity he said that he was done with the tonight show, he decided to take it back which conflicted with what he promised. Conan has said that if the roles were reversed, he would have done the admirable thing and just retired when nbc offered to screw over his friend and colleague. He didn’t technically steal it but he shouldn’t have taken the job back, it’s not like he was strapped for cash
@@JGHMusic Leno was forced out of TTS by your hero Conan. He did not have a choice in the matter. Conan did a deal with NBC... behind Leno's back. Leno was offered TTS back after Conan QUIT.
Lopez himself pushed for Conan to do it. The deal of Conan switching was delayed by a long time BECAUSE Conan said himself he didn't want to do to Lopez what Leno did to him
@@ignatiusjackson235 I agree, Lopez stole Mencia’s platform and tried to rebuild it on TBS. That barely worked then and only alienates your audience to a specific demographic.
Lopez deserved to be screwed. Oh man, is there a less funny celebrity ? Those exaggerated, stupid faces he pulls after every joke, like he's saying to the audience, "that was a joke, I'm so funny right?" And the way he laughs uproariously at his own jokes too. He's down there with Corden, and is worse than Fallon, Colbert etc. His tenure as a host of ANYTHING, should never have happened, but as it did happen, should be erased from history.
Everybody laughed when I made jokes about the Conan/Leno fued I hosted a Charity event in 2011 I did almost got kicked out when The Guy I was replacement wanted to come back to the show but not as host but as a performer U see he left due to personal problems so he asked people Directing/Producing so whos replacing me? he is told Kelly Berry the guy was like oh good ive seen his work hes funny but when he came back they wanted to give it back to him but hes like Oh no no no I promised it to Kelly he stays (he saw what Leno did to Conan he didnt want that to happen) I even joked about it in the Monologue at the opening by saying Im sorry im just waiting to have Jay Leno screw me so NBC will pay me to leave just like Conan im not sure if it was my impression of Conan I did or the Jokes that made the audience laugh but it was fun the guy I replaced was about 7 ft tall and left big shoes to fill no really his shoes were in my dressing room im around 5 feet so no the shoes would not have fit me
Bottom line is that Conan wasn't able to get the ratings. Not on NBC and not on his cable show. The format and the host were stuck in the '90s while the younger audience moved to people Joe Rogan. The fundamental problem is that Conan believed his viewers were stupid, he would always be quick to explain any reference or avoid any serious conversation.
Sad how Conan who is one of the wealthiest and most successful celebrities there is couldn't stop crying about losing The Tonight show or blaming Leno for his crappy ratings.
@@KalvinStrange His ratings were good till he took over The Tonight Show which he lost due to bad ratings then his ratings went up again when he went to TBS.
@@kenlompart9905 His ratings on Late Night were getting worse because of Craig Ferguson, which made NBC realize they made a mistake in this Tonight Show deal, so they gave Leno a show at 10 o'clock, but that made Conan upset he had to follow Leno again.
@@romanticwarrior97 Young people didn't watch the Jay Leno lead in, and just recorded Conan on their DVR. And once he moved over to TBS, he beat out Jay Leno in ratings. NBC wanted the has been. They lost in the long run.

Just comes off as bitter. Sorry Conan... maybe doing the cat eyebrows before every opening monologue... yaaaaa maybe didn't seem that authentic or off the cuff anymore. Maybe your whole thing was to "have a career" but you're actually not that funny. You never did the stand up scene... because you're not a stand up. You went to Harvard and tried to figure out how to "have a career" in show biz. You were always playing a character or personality to get ahead in "your career".
@@sebastianfischer2082 LOL, not a Leno fan in the slightest. He hit the jackpot with getting the tonight show. He's a very "safe" and moderately funny comedian.

I am so sad about how both David Letterman and Conan o Brian were treated I want to take there place Letterman made and estimated 200 million more by going to CBS and Conan went to tbs and went to 9th place plus has a net worth of over 100 million dollars I have a hard time fealing sorry for these guys
Once you have all the money, it's about image and legacy. It's why rich people are so sensitive to ribbing.
He's good but Bill Hicks did a better Leno impression
Company man 'till the bitter fuckin' end 😂
Yeah but Conan’s was full of raw spite, it made it way better lol
4:41
Funny thing is, Sandra Bernhard briefly dated Jay Leno, and she said on the Stern show once that he was so big, she could barely "accommodate" him.
I thought Sarah Bernhardt wasn't really a fan of "accommodating" anything down there. 😂 I bet he's got more a Studebaker than a stretch limo if ya know hee-hee-hee!
@@ignatiusjackson235wait, are you saying dudes with expensive cars are compensating??? That can't be Jay... 😂
Why in the world was he putting his chin inside of her? What a weirdo.
Jay Leno sounds like Rodger Rabbit
真个是愛恨交织。
Love, hate intersection. (-_^)
Jay is taking all this abuse to the bank.
I wonder how much of the whole fiasco was Conan's doing, versus how much was his agent. Leno was pressured into giving up the Tonight Show by NBC, who were being pressed by Conan's agent, that if he didn't get the Tonight Show immediately he'd go to another network and compete directly with Jay. NBC finally offered the infamous five-year plan. But by then, Conan wasn't as hot, and so NBC hedged their bets by putting Leno on at 10:00, which he was not in favor of. Both shows completely tanked, and NBC had little choice but to revert to the status quo.
People think Jay planned to retire, and then he promised the Tonight Show to Conan out of the kindness of his heart. Nothing could be further from the truth, but Conan sure sold it.
I like Conan. I have a few issues with Jay. So I'm not just taking shots here. I just think that the public was intentionally manipulated into viewing Conan as the victim, when he (or his agent) was actually the one who set the whole thing up to fail from the beginning.
A very interesting point, I haven't looked at it this way, jay is automatically viewed as the evil guy who intentionally wanted this to happen....
So you are in fact... Blaming Conan.
@@antg3550, no, I'm thinking Conan's agent is primarily to blame.
@@sm5574 oh Jay is that you?
@@antg3550, sorry, I thought I was dealing with people capable of rational thought, not mindless fanboys.
The 'Conan's Sour Grapes' stories got old years ago ... Let It Go(!!) 😖.
You can't seem to let it go lol. WHat are you doing here then, if you've moved on? Why click on this video and watch it and comment under it?
The real Jay Leno screwed Conan O'Brien
Was that before or after Conan took TTS from Leno in his backroom negotiations.
Screwed over Letterman also. Meh, both had longer and more relevant careers than Leno. Ask anyone under 30 who Leno is 🤣. His legacy is dead.
@@inranglhood60 How did he screw over Letterman? "Ask anyone under 30 who Leno is" .... How about this... Ask anyone over 30 who Leno is. NBC wanted Leno. They did not want Letterman. Carson did. However, NBC owns the show... not Carson. Conan took TTS from Leno. That is a fact. He did poorly and in the end he QUIT. Leno's legacy is just fine.
Conan was more on leno’s 🏀 🏀’s than his wife
There wasn't much down there for his wife anyways...
@@inranglhood60 I never understood why it was leno’s fault that 46 year old man failed at the Tonight show
honestly i like both of them and i dont think leno is a bad person.
Stole conan’s job and robbed us of possibly the beat tonight show host that would still be on today
@@wecantfightgravity he said that he was done with the tonight show, he decided to take it back which conflicted with what he promised. Conan has said that if the roles were reversed, he would have done the admirable thing and just retired when nbc offered to screw over his friend and colleague. He didn’t technically steal it but he shouldn’t have taken the job back, it’s not like he was strapped for cash
@@JGHMusic No he didn't.
@@JGHMusic Leno was forced out of TTS by your hero Conan. He did not have a choice in the matter. Conan did a deal with NBC... behind Leno's back. Leno was offered TTS back after Conan QUIT.
@@nicke.3782 Buddy you have it backwards. Go watch some interviews or something. Plenty of interviews about how it went down.
Conan got screwed by Leno, but he in turn screwed Lopez.
Lopez himself pushed for Conan to do it. The deal of Conan switching was delayed by a long time BECAUSE Conan said himself he didn't want to do to Lopez what Leno did to him
@@chimpindoge3474 Nah, Lopez pretended to be ok with it but he was not. The network pushed and he begrudgingly accepted.
@@VuotoPneumaNN Yeah, but Lopez Tonight would have been canceled without Conan as a lead-in. That show was true dogshit.
@@ignatiusjackson235 I agree, Lopez stole Mencia’s platform and tried to rebuild it on TBS. That barely worked then and only alienates your audience to a specific demographic.
Lopez deserved to be screwed. Oh man, is there a less funny celebrity ? Those exaggerated, stupid faces he pulls after every joke, like he's saying to the audience, "that was a joke, I'm so funny right?" And the way he laughs uproariously at his own jokes too. He's down there with Corden, and is worse than Fallon, Colbert etc. His tenure as a host of ANYTHING, should never have happened, but as it did happen, should be erased from history.
Everybody laughed when I made jokes about the Conan/Leno fued I hosted a Charity event in 2011 I did almost got kicked out when The Guy I was replacement wanted to come back to the show but not as host but as a performer U see he left due to personal problems so he asked people Directing/Producing so whos replacing me? he is told Kelly Berry the guy was like oh good ive seen his work hes funny but when he came back they wanted to give it back to him but hes like Oh no no no I promised it to Kelly he stays (he saw what Leno did to Conan he didnt want that to happen) I even joked about it in the Monologue at the opening by saying Im sorry im just waiting to have Jay Leno screw me so NBC will pay me to leave just like Conan im not sure if it was my impression of Conan I did or the Jokes that made the audience laugh but it was fun the guy I replaced was about 7 ft tall and left big shoes to fill no really his shoes were in my dressing room im around 5 feet so no the shoes would not have fit me
You. Need! To. Learn? How, To. Use! Punctuation; Properly?
Bottom line is that Conan wasn't able to get the ratings. Not on NBC and not on his cable show. The format and the host were stuck in the '90s while the younger audience moved to people Joe Rogan. The fundamental problem is that Conan believed his viewers were stupid, he would always be quick to explain any reference or avoid any serious conversation.
Sad how Conan who is one of the wealthiest and most successful celebrities there is couldn't stop crying about losing The Tonight show or blaming Leno for his crappy ratings.
I don't think you understand what truly happened.
@@dreamivey3405 I know exactly what happened and so does he.
Wait is he one of the most successful celebrities or does he have terrible ratings?
@@KalvinStrange His ratings were good till he took over The Tonight Show which he lost due to bad ratings then his ratings went up again when he went to TBS.
@@kenlompart9905 His ratings on Late Night were getting worse because of Craig Ferguson, which made NBC realize they made a mistake in this Tonight Show deal, so they gave Leno a show at 10 o'clock, but that made Conan upset he had to follow Leno again.
Throwing shade when it was Conan's own fault he lost the Tonight show
Exactly!
Conan was really nasty and messy about it,, Jay had much more class. Even now, Conan can’t let go of fame his podcast is boring ….
Jay its okay, you got the tonight show back.
He had a longer career and his podcast is one of the highest rated and listened to podcasts today. Where's Leno? 😂
O'Brien should have been funnier then he might gotten to keep the show.
Conan is the funniest and realist late night show ever
@@dr.zoidburger7515 Apparently not.
@@romanticwarrior97 Conan was by far the most popular late night show among people under 40. Leno had all the retirees watching.
@@Jake-rs9nq Apparently not popular enough.
@@romanticwarrior97 Young people didn't watch the Jay Leno lead in, and just recorded Conan on their DVR. And once he moved over to TBS, he beat out Jay Leno in ratings.
NBC wanted the has been. They lost in the long run.
The Irish always hated and were jealous of Italians lol
I’m Scottish. The Irish were never jealous of Italians. The Irish are fantastic. They’re hard working, they’re funny and they clawed their way to the top when Italians were still slithering in the gutter 😂
@@Highland_Moo Nah, they still have a laughable standard of living and with no goals nor even dreams. Go to Appalachia, Scotland, Ireland, most of Canada or Australia then say that lol. The Anglosphere is a giant trailer park and ghetto now with neck tattoos & weird piercings. That's why nobody assimilates nowadays especially immigrants from Asia, the Arab countries or even Mexico lol. What are you marrying into again? I'm an Italian American and I can't wait to get out of here. All of the reasons for why my grandfather came here no longer exist.

@@Nicole19989The Joshua Tree era U2
@@MikeSparksMusic no, U2 from decades ago.
Just comes off as bitter. Sorry Conan... maybe doing the cat eyebrows before every opening monologue... yaaaaa maybe didn't seem that authentic or off the cuff anymore. Maybe your whole thing was to "have a career" but you're actually not that funny. You never did the stand up scene... because you're not a stand up. You went to Harvard and tried to figure out how to "have a career" in show biz. You were always playing a character or personality to get ahead in "your career".
Found the singular Leno fan left
@@sebastianfischer2082 LOL, not a Leno fan in the slightest. He hit the jackpot with getting the tonight show. He's a very "safe" and moderately funny comedian. And his show didn't even compare to the best that Letterman was offering. But glad to see your intuition is alive and well. Oh, wait... no.
@@urwholefamilydied Try harder to deny it, this is way too obvious that you are indeed a Leno fan
