Conan Going To Cable?

Filed under: Conan O'Brien

They certainly want him!

FX has added its name to the list of networks eager to add the ginger haired funny man to their line-up. Of course, their bigger network sibling FOX probably has first dibs, but if it doesn't work out, Conan O'Brien could be headed to their station.

We don't know if cable is the way to go Conan. To really stick it to NBC, we think you need to join forces with the biggie network.

      Good for him. I've always liked Conan.
      He's one of the funniest talk show hosts ever.
      "Men's misfortunes are forgotten in the excitement of new enterprises."
      Mark Twain said that. I live by those words.

      Ha!

      Conan understands the meaning of the words living well is the best revenge.

      Although I don't think Conan's all that amusing, at least he's somewhat amusing whereas Jay's just an old big jawed twathead who hasn't been funny since around 1979.

      Go, Conan! Live well and prosper and show NBC and Leno the finger.

      Nobody watches the three networks any more - all the action is on cable.

      It's too bad COMCAST's purchase of NBC from GE hasn't been finalized yet. The solution to this problem is so simple for COMCAST. First fire Jeff Zuker for supreme incompetence and without any Golden Parachute. Then give Conan and everyone on his staff a 25% raise for "pain and suffering" plus Fridays off at full pay. Then hire Jay Leno as the substitute host for Friday's "The Tonight Show with CONAN O'BRIEN"

      yeah- hopefully he can take his crew with him and everyone will be happy! NBC only has a couple good shows going for them anyway!!!



    6. 6

      Results from People magazine's popularity poll:
      Jay Leno 39%….Conan O'Brien 45%…David Letterman 16%
      Read 'em & weep. LOL

      When are you going to upload my avitar? I don't want a fucking palm tree. Don't forget your readers gave you a career. Treat them right baby.



    8. 8

      no CoCo is too good for cable. Bring on the Fox 11pm slot!!



    9. 9

      I THINK HE SHOULD GO TO CBS! THAT CHANGE WILL BRING A NEW AUDIENCE TO THE NETWORK.



    10. 10

      the bottom line is … leno is funnier and more entertaining than conan it is not rocket science



    11. 11

      adult swim also gave conan an offer. switch to adult swim conan! thatd be great!!



    12. 12

      I'd tune in to see Conan on Fox, maybe not so much on FX. Fox needs a post-news show!



    13. 13

      Wherever Conan goes, I will be MORE than happy to follow him! He's my favorite TV personality of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      If Conan dosen't get any better ratings where ever he ends up then he's been getting he isn't going to be sticking it much at all to NBC.



    15. 15

      That's good to hear. I'm sure everything will work out just fine for him & his crew. Something good has to come out of all of this mess!



    16. 16

      What are you, his press agent? Jay has always, always been funnier. He didn't ask for the situation but tried to go along with whatever. Conan will find himself in the comic equivalent of Siberia soon.



    17. 17

      Who cares bout the pompous in the closet pedo.



    18. 18

      The saying fits:
      "Sometimes good things fall apart so even better things can fall together."
      SHOW 'EM CONAN!

      Re: sparkys nemesis –
      why do people like you insist that JAY LENO is the innocent one. That fucker passed the torched to Conan O'Brien 6 years ago in 2004. He said "Conan, in 5 years, the show is yours."
      Jay even said he'd take the 11:35 spot back if they offered it to him. "The Tonight Show" has always been at 11:35. That FUCKER should've done the right thing and retired and stayed OUT of the way, just like his predecessor, late great Johnny Carson did. Johnny wasn't even that excited for Jay when he took over, but at least he stepped aside and gave the show to him and let JAY have his own "Tonight Show." why the hell can't he do that for CONAN?



    20. 20

      I never liked Conan, still don't, and reality has hit ground. He didn't have the numbers and Jay does. Not a Leno fan, either, but what works does. It's a matter of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Good luck to all of them. Let's get back to good t.v.



    21. 21

      it sucks



    22. 22

      In any case, after all is done and the dust settles, Conan will have a job on Fox (or pretty much anywhere he wants) with a contract of tens of millions of dollars with most likely much better circumstances than now and all his staff taken care off. And then we can wonder what has all the fuss been about.



    23. 23

      he looks great in mimi miogi



    24. 24

      I hope he goes to fox and kills Jay Leno's ratings, he got seriously annoying on the show he had last!



    25. 25

      Re: Lalaloo – Agreed. Leno is an A-Hole. He killed the 10 PM shows because he refused to let go of the spotlight. He threatened to go to ABC and NBC was dumb enough to believe he was an actual threat and they decided to keep him. I believe the only reason why Leno beat out Letterman was because of the 10 PM programming. Conan suffered due to Leno's horrible show and even the affiliates were pissed that Leno was put at 10PM because it affected their News ratings. Then instead of being an honorable man with integrity and just walk away after his horrible show was canned, he decided to go along with squeezing into Conan's time slot. NBC and Leno are A-holes. Leno for taking back the tonight show and NBC for hyping the horrible Leno 10 PM show and pretty much ignored Conan's Move. They were even advertising Leno's 10 PM show in movie theaters before the previews. I hope Conan goes to FOX and beats Leno's @ss. It would be a good move to put him at 11PM. It would be great for me. Watch news at 10, watch Conan at 11 and if i am still up, Kimmel at 12.



    26. 26

      Funny. If Nonads was so good, why were his ratings worse than Jay's … in the same time slot.



    27. 27

      He should do anything he can to stick it to NBC. They're a bunch of pricks for the way they treated him and everybody else on his show.
      He blows Leno out of the water & I hope Leno's show goes right down the tubes where it belongs.
      Leno should do the right thing and just quit for gods sake. What a prick.



    28. 28

      Re: Spooge – You mean like he did to his staff? Y'know, the same ones he dragged out to LA. The same ones he's leaving behind.



    29. 29

      Leno sucks eggs! Go Conan!



    30. 30

      So happy that Jeff Bridges won a Golden Globe tonight. I watched Conan treat him like a nobody the other night. "I'm over here". I can't believe that I used to love Conan. There's no excuse for a being a brat when you are a middle aged man like Conan.

      I'm a Conanite!



    32. 32

      I am hopeful that Conan will continue to do his show… somewhere! He is the funniest of the four of the light night hosts.



    33. 33

      FX and FOX and all those bottom of the barrel cable channels should keep their hands off him! Conan SHOULD go to HBO and be able to bring back the masturbating bear, etc. Only premium networks deserve him and his genius! No Conan no!



    34. 34

      Conan is the only true entertainer in this pot of has been comedians…jay leno needs to retire his chin to the garage and polish his hundreds of vintage automobiles…letterman needs to stick his head between his legs and kiss his ass..jimmy fallon..he was so funny before he took on the talk show circuit…jimmy kimmel has that younger brother thing going for him..he is quite endearing…but Conan is the real deal..perhaps he is just too w.a.s.p. for the networks…shame on you…



    35. 35

      Conan is the only true entertainer among this lot of over-rated fools…jay needs to take his chin and polish his vintage cars..letterman needs to stick his head between his legs and kiss his ass…fallon is just way in over his head…kimmel has that younger brother thing which endears him to me…but truly, at the end of the day, conan is the winner…perhaps he is just too w.a.s.p. for the position…shame on you



    36. 36

      NBC execs are dumbshits. You can't put an hour long comedy show, with the previous Tonight Show host, half an hour before the Tonight Show. Of course Conan's ratings are going to suffer because you're basically moving Leno's whole show, with audience/fan base, to an earlier time. Leno's fans stuck with him because they had the option to. Think about like this: what would happen if you put Johnny Carson right before Leno? Would Leno be able to build his own base immediately?

      NBC execs= DUMBSHITS

      Jay Leno sucks. He's just not funny-why and HOW do people still watch him? Jaywalking..really? The most stupid bit I've seen. Editing your face into things to pass it off as being funny? 8th graders do that for their school project. RETIRE YOU FAT SELFISH TARD.
