I wonder why his ratings have been slipping as of lately, though?

In test runs, Jimmy Fallon has been reading his hate mail that people have been sending him about taking over Late Night.

He is just silly and Not funny.

It would be interesting to see next week how he does, who knows? He might be good, I don't wanna cut the man short, but he's got some big shoes to fill

Didn't Conan originally meet harsh criticism when he took over late night? I don't care for Jimmy Fallon (He just isn't funny to me), but I guess people should give him a chance before getting out the pitchforks and tar and feathers.

I think my concern is that Conan's humor may be too much for the 11:30 time slot. I have a feeling some things that would have made it in the 12:30 time slot will be censored in this earlier time. I hope all works out.

I just don't understand why Leno and Conan didn't just trade completely. Considering the stink that Leno gave NBC till they buckled and gave him that 10:00 show that hasn't been formally announced yet.

That said, imagine if Andy Richter took over the Late Late show.

I think that Andy is going to be the Tonight Show announcer.

I still don't understand the terms of what happened to Jay. He graciously bowed down than later on felt that he got the bum's rush, and then whined about not getting work... Fox initially felt this was an opportunity, but the plan fizzled and NBC caved in and gave Leno some 10 PM show...

Is that right, or am I missing something?
