He was just too fricking loud. His show is all screaming and gunfire. People are watching it to fall asleep, which ironically makes Leno's milquetoast style of humor the best for for it, even if it created literally nothing of substance. There's basically no notable clips of Leno's tonight show to be found anywhere, I've been looking
Conan always went on and on about what an institution the Tonight Show was and how he was so honored to be doing it. If he really felt that way, why didn't he bow out once it was clear he wasn't working out as the host?
Letterman but Leno was indisputably more popular at the time after Hugh Grant cried on his show after getting busted with that prostitute.
Letterman is more fondly remembered and revered though so probably says a lot about the shows.
Letterman was great...but once Leno started beating him in the ratings he became a bitter butthole on his own show. Then during the W. Bush years he started wearing his politics on his sleeve.
When Conan took over the Tonight Show, Letterman started winning in the ratings, but when Leno came back, Letterman started losing again. And for years Letterman and CBS claimed that Leno was only winning because of better lead in programs, but then CBS became the hot network with Survivor, CSI, and NCIS, and Leno still kept winning. The most brutal beat down you'll ever see.
Based Leno slapping the punk b***h down
Verification not FRICKING required
>Boomers spent 20 years watching him do this bit
Jesus christ just HOW many people grew up in a high lead environment to keep this shit on the air so long????
My sould would leave my body if I had to read out typos in front of people like that.
Compare this to Conan's Chuck Norris lever, or his staring contests with Max Weinberg. It's like comparing the Roman empire to a mud hut village.
This one time Max was laid up at home with a broken leg or something, and they set up a satellite video feed (this was early 2000s, no facetime) in Max's living room just for the purpose of having another silent staredown after exactly two lines of back-and-forth pleasantries.
One of the funniest things I've ever witnessed.
>Leno was telling OJ and Lewinsky jokes well into the late 2000s he's a turbo hack
Making jokes about blacks and israelites = hack? Those jokes couldn't even be made today.
>Helen Kushnick will never berate you, insult your intelligence, then tell you to get the frick out of her office
I need a powerful woman to dominate me
Letterman's old slot was pure sovl. It had a smaller budget than a lot of shows on youtube today and had a lot more counter-culture guests. Leno was a more worth successor to Carson, though and Dave lost the magic moving from late late to late.
Anyone else on Earth would have been fricking that fertility goddess every day and night but you just know Conan was too much of a pussy to make a move.
This is a list of the funniest Leno moments according to tv tropes, and those turbo autists catalogue everything so you know this is about as extensive as the list gets.
4600 episodes and this is all to show for it
conan gays need not reply btw, we don't talk about failed men in this thread
his failure is more noble and enjoyable than their success

CONAN'S ENTIRE SHOW HAS CAPS LOCK TURNED ON LIKE THIS WHICH ISN'T IRRITATING AT ALL
Haiti was not noble
This is pretty sad lol. Just doing fan meet and greets, can't even afford good guests for his shows anymore.
Leno kicked the shit out of Letterman in the ratings, so Leno.
Leno did facebook meme tier humor Letterman actually had some edge to him
Lenos humour appealed to more people, hence the bigger ratings. It was a tactical move. He won.
Young Sheldon has the highest ratings right now. Followed by Gray’s Anatomy. Who the frick cares what slop the most animals watch?
Frick off.
Its a Craig Ferguson board

.....he did? That was part of the whole controversy...? What fricking planet are from?
Money talks bullshit walks, friendo.
tbh conan was a bit of a naive gay about the whole thing all he had to do was read picrel and he would have seen the whole thing coming
What shit casting for leno
...Is Crispin Glover supposed to be a woman here? Either way, would
Find another person who looks even remotely similar to Leno
For me, it's Dick Cavett

Leno. He was one of the grayts
>leno acts like a mentally handicapped 10 year throughout the film until he all of a sudden turns into James Bond eavesdropping on people
great writing
Leno listening in on the meeting is chad behavior and Letterman could only seethe he didn't think to do something like that

Headlines is a funny bit. Zoomers have done nothing funnier.

Leno's one hell of a car guy though.
Conan has an unrivaled ability to extract comedy from literally anybody and any situation

Reusing decades old material should be beneath any comedian and doubly so for the most famous working comedian in the world
Don't try to obfuscate the obvious point I'm trying to make with low level /misc/ shit, it's incredibly boring. We're trying to have a discussion here
>low level /misc/ shit
Is it true or not?
youre right. the low-tier 'blacks & joos' old schtick was his bread and butter.
>Helen Kushnick will never berate you, insult your intelligence, then tell you to get the frick out of her office

I'm a fallon guy.
He has exactly one bit that I enjoy
um, it was a joke, anon.

Y'all Ausländers don't know about the best to ever do it.
Even compared to Leno this guy has an impossible not to despise facial structure
deep impregnating sex with sona movsesian
unfunny no-talent dime-a-dozen c**t. boring.
>Seething that you weren't the one to make Sona swell with child
that's cool shes all proud to be cummed in successfully all women need this
Anyone else on Earth would have been fricking that fertility goddess every day and night but you just know Conan was too much of a pussy to make a move.
He did frick Martha Stewart tho

Never watched either.
Everyone knows Letterman’s show was smarter. Dave is the comics’ choice, even one’s that adore Leno’s stand-up.
i've been waiting for someone to post a Leno bit so I can judge for myself but it doesn't seem like any actually exist
Leno's a hack 1 trick pony
