2018年6月1日 · O’Brien said he would love to be able to stream broadcasts of his seven-month stint on NBC’s “Tonight Show,” a famous time in the annals of TV history owing to the network’s decision to reinstate the host he replaced, Jay Leno, back in its 11:30 time slot.

First NBC put Leno at 10 p.m. with the Jay Leno Show. Ratings for that show and for Conan's Tonight Show were worse than they hoped for. Then they proposed pushing the Jay Leno Show to 11:30 p.m. and Conan's tonight show to 12 a.m. That's when Conan decided to walk. Leno then got back the Tonight Show at the usual 11:30 p.m.

2022年2月6日 · 295 votes, 29 comments. true. Man, that opening bit of the first show really hits me hard. I know it's supposed to be funny and all, but it kind of embodies how much effort it took to bring his whole team to the West Coast, the love and respect Conan had for NBC and that institution, and how significant that moment was for Conan's audience and his generation …

I imagine it would be even shorter if Leno was just doing monologue and like headlines. If Conan took that deal he might still be doing the Tonight Show. On the plus side Jimmy Fallon would probably fade away. But on the negative Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend would probably never happen. And Late Night with Seth Myers probably wouldn't either.

2022年1月3日 · A subreddit for Conan O'Brien, Team Coco and other related shenanigans Members Online Conan O’Brien's statement about why he will not host "The Tonight Show" if NBC moves it to 12:05 a.m. (January 2010)

2022年8月3日 · NBC then screwed Conan by locking him up with promising him the Tonight show so he wouldn't jump to another network like Letterman did. They then screwed Leno by showing him the door when Conan's time came. When Conan floundered NBC gave Leno a show before Conan and tried to fiddle with the Tonight Show's time slot. NBC was the bad guy throughout.

I also remember at the very beginning of the Late Night right after Conan's final Tonight Show episode and Questlove told you the episode number, there was a pic of Conan on the bass drum, and Questlove said "1-8-7 and Coco rocks."

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy was kinda letting Conan have this moment. You can tell Conan is emotional revisiting the set and reminiscing. I also think Jimmy admires and respects Conan, as he mentions he was his first talk show appearance, so he probably wants to hear his perspective as much as the rest of us.

2024年4月2日 · So by the the time Conan's Tonight Show came on chances were you already watched one late night talk-show as people were less prone to channel hopping in those days. NBC panicked and rather than part ways with Jay and let Conan work things out, they wanted to move Jay back to 11:30 and have Conan and the Tonight Show come on at 12:30.
