I find certain things about his show funny but personally I don't like it all. I'd rather watch Kimmel. But this letter is proof of his writing genius, like on the Simpsons. I think this letter is funny as hell.

Yes, this letter is very funny.

I thought it was funny last night when he was like Stay Tuned for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and come see our show tomorrow....probably(during the last part he had a huge smirk on his face).

If Conan sticks to this and sacrifices his job to keep NBC from diluting the Tonight Show franchise any further, he'll go down as a hero.

Sounds like Conan is taking the advice that Carson gave Letterman. "If it were me? I'd walk."

In my book, Leno looks like a tool for even considering mooching his way back into the 11:35 spot. Conan has been a team player and has worked his dick off for that network.

Letterman should invite Conan over to just hang out on his couch for May sweeps.

well its not Leno's fault. he didnt ask to be put back at 11:35. Leno would rather just keep everything the way it is.

That would be the biggest slap in the face to NBC most likely...and would be great TV.

You are obviously talking about new material. But, I laugh everytime I think about the Chuck Norris Lever.

The Walker Texas Ranger lever was greatness.

*pulls lever...boring scene of Chuck getting his Romance on*

Conan:...umm...NO *pulls lever again. Shows scene of Walker kicking some arse* YES!

Also, Conan had the best rerun episode ever: Claymation!

The best one I rememeber was a scene where a kid is hanging off a high book case and his dad tells him to jump promising that he will catch him. The kid jumps and the dad backs off letting the kid fall straight to the ground.

If that were true then he wouldn't agree to do it.

As dumb of an idea as it was, the W:TR lever remains one of the funniest things I've ever seen on Conan. shite cracks me up every single time.

The kid jumping off the bookcase. Chuck punching that woman. "Walkertold me I have cancer." Etc. And Conan's reactions to them were hysterical.

Leno knew that the prime time show was a way of diluting the Tonight Show franchise. He should've moved on or gone with a series of specials on NBC.
