Report: Jay Leno has some advice for the haters…

Leave a comment

Jay Leno admits that he gets a lot of nay sayers, aka, haters toward his “Tonight Show” that he is hosting. Jay Leno laughs off the haters, brushes them aside, and says the haters are just part of the competition.

Let me correct that to what he reallys means, the more they talk shit, the more popular you are making them.

More on it here:

I’ve been saying this for many years in my blogs. The haters make people popular. How do you think Miley Cyrus is one of the biggest stars around? The same goes for Paris Hilton.

That is how gossip blogger, Perez Hilton, got famous for blogging because people hated on him.

I’m sure Conan O’ Brien gets his share of haters too. Look where that got him? The haters got Conan to take over for Jay very soon. So….yeah….

Not a Cool Video: Barack Obama makes fun of the mental retardation on Jay Leno last night…

14 Comments

Oh my. Did President Obama screw his first TV appearance on a talk show or what? He just went on “The Tonight Show” and made fun of the Special Olympics. It was a joke, I know, he did this to make fun of himself of his bowling skills but I actually agree with TMZ for once, that if Bush said it, everyone would hate him for it, and the public will stay behind Obama’s side 100%. There’s a double standard there.

Barack Nobama continues to show that he is the wrong guy for President, see it here for yourself, I did watch Jay Leno last night:

Presidents are supposed to care about the mentally retardation, not make fun of them and not bash ’em. I vote IMPEACH BARACK OBAMA!

I never make fun of mentally retarded people ’cause it’s wrong. It’s wrong, offensive, and immature. The special people can’t help what they are, because they were born that way.

Of course, there will be mixed opinions on this incident. Some people will find Barack’s joke hilarious, and some will find it offfensive. Well, I find it offensive.

I was never the type of guy to make fun of people, it’s just something I don’t do. When you’re an adult in the real world, it’s a childish thing to do to be a high school bully right now.

Thought: “Late Night” with Conan O’ Brien, final show from last night thoughts?

Leave a comment

Last night’s final “Late Night” show with Conan was a really good one. The show dragged on a little longer so Conan can do a long goodbye message doing all of these “thank you’s” and all that. Notice how in his goodbye message at the end of the show, there wasn’t one mention of Jimmy Fallon taking over his place soon? Weird. Conan was looking so nervous and emotional, he almost cried at the end of his speech, but then he lightened up quickly by saying something like, “taking over the Tonight Show will only get better”.

He had quite a career ride. Conan taking over Leno will not fail with ratings at all. This will only make Conan an even bigger of a star. A LOT more people will watch Conan now that he will be on an hour early soon.

I love Conan, been a longtime fan for years, I’ll be watching him on “The Tonight Show” when he makes his debut on that soon. I have no interest in watching Jimmy Fallon’s show. Unless, Jimmy Fallon has celebrities on his show that I’m a fan of, maybe I’ll watch it, but I’ll be watching Conan all the time still like I always had. It’s kind of sad that he will no longer be a New Yorker, but him moving to a different show is a huge opportunity for him, he will be more famous and big than ever.

Congrats to Conan, I’m happy for the guy. Usually I’m never this happy toward celebrities I don’t know about, but I am with Conan. He’s the fuckin’ man!

The White Stripes were really good too last night by the way. Jack and Meg are both looking great. The song they did was great.

Confirmed: The Max Weinberg 7 still going with Conan for new show…

Leave a comment

Conan fans! To those worry about if Conan’s move to the “Tonight Show” will get Max Weinberg’s band and Conan seperated, that is NOT going to happen. On last night’s episode of Conan O’ Brien, Conan made it clear that each member of the Max Weinberg 7 band are moving to California permanently to still do the “Tonight Show” with Conan. So that’s great news to hear! I can’t see these two apart ’cause that would be weird.

More unsanswered questions that still need to be confirmed about Conan’s new show:

1) Will he still have Triumph the Insult Dog?

2) Will his jokes still be as funny on “The Late Show”, will he be forced to keep his jokes Jay Leno style when he moves to the “Tonight Show”? (I hope not, I’m sure he’ll still be the same old Conan he’s always been)

3) Will the “Tonight Show” still let Conan talk to impersonator Arnold on TV

So much more questions that still needs answers.

I’ve been watching Conan O’ Brien all week, every night. Only 2 more episodes left, tonight and tomorrow, that’s it. The White Stripes have been confirmed as the musical guest of the show for Friday’s last show.

Report: Conan O’ Brien almost done with the Late Show…

Leave a comment

There has been many late night talk shows over the years. None of them have been funny and entertaining except for one who really is…that man, is Conan O’ Brien. In my honest opinion, he is the King of late night talk shows. Jay Leno has never been funny, Jimmy Kimmel has never been funny, Carson Daly has never been funny and Craig Ferguson is not even funny either. Conan O’ Brien is the man who knows how to make someone laugh out loud non stop, and he knows how to keep a smile on your face everytime you lay an eye on him. That’s how amazing of a man Conan O’ Brien truly is. The most entertaining late night talk show host since Johnny Carson, indeed.

After a 16 year long run on NBC late night, Conan is moving to California to take over “The Tonight Show”, to replace Jay Leno, which means America will get to see the most funniest man on TV an hour early. He maybe leaving “The Late Night Show” for good, but don’t worry folks, Conan is not dead and he won’t be leaving TV anytime soon.

As this article says, Conan’s been receiving goodbye gifts from famous rock stars, mostly gifts from legendary guitarists. Those who don’t know this, Conan is a musician, I believe he plays both electric and acoustic guitar, he sings too. Conan is also a drummer himself, I think.

Thanks for the entertainment over the years Conan, and we shall soon look forward to seeing you an hour early which will be awesome. We don’t have to stay up late just to watch him. I watch Conan every single night. One of my favorite shows on TV.

Report: NBC unveils “The Jay Leno Show”…

7 Comments

Since the shocking announcement that Jay Leno is staying put on NBC, the peacock station just revealed more details on the new show. The name of the show is simply titled “The Jay Leno Show”. Like I said in a post before, the show will be basically the same thing as “The Tonight Show”. Making jokes about current news, two celebrity interviews and a musical guest. Guitarist Kevin Eubanks and the rest of the “Tonight Show” band will stick with Leno as well.

When Conan makes the move to “The Tonight Show” replacing Leno, I wonder if Max Weinberg the drummer and his band will move along with Conan or will they stay put at Jimmy Fallon? I would hate to see Max Weinberg and Conan O’ Brien apart, it would be weird to see, and I hope NBC keeps them together even if Conan is moving to “The Tonight Show”.

Max Weinberg friggin rules, he’s funny as hell and plus he’s one badass drummer.

BREAKING NEWS: Jay Leno is staying put at NBC late night!!!!

Leave a comment

Just when everyone thought that Jay Leno is retiring from TV late night and leaving NBC studios, it seems that Leno changed his mind and the iconic talk show host isn’t leaving anytime soon!!!

NBC announced they will give Leno a deal where he can appear on NBC at the 10 p.m. hour. They also gave Leno a better pay deal as well. Leno is reportedly to make $40 to $50 million a year for his 10:00 p.m. slot. He’ll be able to buy more cars and motorcycles!!!

Jay Leno’s move will be similar to how he usually have his shows. You know, the usual making fun of news reports, interviews with two celebrities and a musical guest. Jimmy Fallon will take over Conan O’ Brien when Conan moves to an earlier hour on March 4th.

Jay will never retire, he’ll be doing late night ’til the day he dies. What a copout!!!! I don’t like Jay Leno that much and I was hoping that he would be gone but nope. I think Conan’s the best late night host, I watch Conan all the time. Conan makes me laugh, Jay doesn’t.

Kev

EDIT TO ADD: On a side note, the only reason NBC is paying Leno more is that they are doing whatever it takes to make him stay at NBC. NBC doesn’t want him to leave.
