Fans of Conan O’Brien took a Jay Leno Tonight Show promotion video, and spoofed it.

The only way to make Leno leave The Tonight Show is to ignore him, and stop watching the show, rather than making spoofs.

My dad said he never liked Conan, but I liked both Leno and Conan. I just don’t like how Leno left the show, failed with another, then outsted Conan to get his old job back, but that’s show business.

The spoof video is below, and the original is below the spoof.

Conan O’Brien got a $45 million payout deal that turns The Tonight Show back over to Jay Leno who hosted the show for 17 years. One of the sticking points with Conan was his entire staff relocated from New York to Burbank, but NBC did not want to give the staff much of a severance so Conan chipped in his rep said:

"Conan appreciated what NBC did to take care of his staff and crew, and decided to supplement the severance they were getting from the network out of his own pocket."

Conan got a $45 million dollar package of which $33 million goes to him, and the rest to his 200 staff, which means each person gets $60,000. Conan will be free to appear on another network in September 2010.

David Letterman is already attacking Jay Leno before he retakes The Tonight Show. Letterman quoted Leno from a recent statement:

"He said [Leno] we should not blame Conan for what’s going on, and I said to myself, ‘No one is blaming Conan.’"

Do you feel strongly enough about how NBC treated Conan O’Brien to boycott The Tonight Show with Jay Leno?

Saturday Night Live (SNL) didn’t have the real Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien on, but they did have a skit about the drama than has engulfed bumbling NBC. The skit centered around a mock Larry King Live interview with David Letterman making a guest appearance, not the real Letterman.

NBC executives who are responsible for this debacle are really feeling the heat.

Jay Leno had Jimmy Kimmel on Jay’s now cancelled 10 p.m. show. Jimmy made no secret of the fact he doesn’t like Leno taking back The Tonight Show from Conan O’Brien after passing the torch to him personally.

I won’t be watching The Tonight Show until Leno leaves. Instead I’ll be watching Jimmy Kimmel at 12:05 am weeknights on ABC. Reports say Conan won’t be doing anymore shows after Friday of next week.

I have a lot of respect for Kimmel after he said what most other people are thinking, but wouldn’t say directly.

There are a lot of negative feelings towards NBC and Leno now. It is a big mistake to get rid of Conan under these circumstances. Hopefully The Tonight Show audience will abandon NBC until they get rid of the executives that made the decision to fire Conan.

A report a few days ago said Leno was talking about leaving NBC because of what they were doing to Conan. Really? His show was cancelled, but he is still under an exclusive contract, so it’s not like he was going anywhere. I guess Leno doesn’t mind doing The Tonight Show since it’s better than traveling around the country doing comedy shows, and collecting NBC paychecks. I guess Leno also doesn’t care what people think of him for helping NBC do this to Conan.
