TMZ is reporting that Jay Leno will go back to the 11:30pm timeslot after the Olympics, which means that Conan is out of a job.
Boo!
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hee. That's an accusing look on that dog's face. I've seen the same look on my parents' dog when she starts to go outside, and then discovers that it's raining.

Even funnier are 11 Hilarious (and Very Necessary) Newspaper Corrections. They are truly amazing.
That 1969 NYT one is a thing of beauty.
Conan on TDS? No. Stewart would never be able to get anything done.

And the Ottawa Citizen was clearly having some fun with the correction of their correction.

I once read a hilarious correction in the NYT about how many bras Ivana Trump buys in a year. She actually buys one dozen in each color, not twelve dozen in each color. So you know.

Booo!
So I went to the Whole Foods. I hate that place. In addition to the cat food (and they didn't have the flavor I usually get), I got some store-brand crackers and spicy cheddar cheese. So that was exciting.

Our wings are not tired.
The corrections were much fun.
I can't really see myself watching the Tonight Show with Leno or Conan because it isn't my thing, but I'm not sorry to see Conan go. I never saw him do the 11:30 thing, but I tuned in 3 times to see his later night show when he had a guest on that I was particularly fond of. All 3 times he knew absolutely nothing about the guest, hadn't seen the work, read the book, whatever. I never watched his show again.
I'm sure he is a talented fellow, but he really turned me off with his lack of preparation. At least when Jon Stewart hasn't read the book or seen the movie he will fess up to it. I hope Conan improved over time, but I never gave him another chance.

Man, I think Conan is so much funnier than Leno, although I'm not a super-regular watcher.
I also had some instant karma action: I found a $5 bill at the Whole Foods, and just shoved it in my pocket. So when I pulled my iPod out of that same pocket outside, the money went flying away in the wind. Easy come, easy go!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I get the impression Conan is more fun to hang out with than Jay, so I want him more employed. I've never found Jay funny. But the only interview shows I watch are Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton. I don't think I could keep up my interest for something almost every night of the week.
