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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
