I still don't know what everyone was expecting Leno to do. He was pushed out to pasture before he was ready. Conan fell flat on his face in that spot, and NBC asked Jay to come back. So if Jay says no and they bring in someone else, would that make everyone feel better?

Surely Conan's ratings weren't low due to the previous host being on before him.

Look, the only reason Conan lost his show to Leno was because it wasn't making money for the network.

If everyone liked Conan and the ratings were there, it wouldn't make any difference who Leno blows, Conan is staying on.

I never really understood this whole "Let's stand behind Conan" stuff, because the people up in arms that he got cancelled were obviously not watching him.

I don't give network executives credit for enough intestinal fortitude to stand behind someone just because they like him. It's all dollars and cents for these guys.

A network executive would give his mothers murderer a show if the ratings were there.

Leno brings more viewers to the table, so he wins.....simple as that.

This.

I don't find any of the 3 entertaining.

Also, this.

People ragging on Conan aren't taking into account two things:

Leno still had a show on BEFORE Conan once he got the Tonight Show spot. Leno's ratings also weren't very good, but they decided to push Conan out because Leno was unhappy and wanted his spot back.

The other thing is, Conan's show wasn't Conan anymore. It was greatly reduced and toned down once he was doing the Tonight Show... I guess to cater to the older audience whose greatest joy was listening to "Headlines" and having a slight chuckle on 1 out of 10 jokes in Leno's monologue.

Good to see Conan still doing his thing, he is a hilarious guy and a great interviewer/show host.

      when we drafted Bryce Young that team might have been more talented than the team we currently have ?  that was the whole reasoning behind morgagting  our immediate future to trade up to #1 overall for BY. our front offices & owners felt like hey guess what the time is now to srike while the iron is hot go hire an All Star coaching staff we were only a Qb away from taking that next step ..just saying

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.
