nice stems. there was a time when uma thurman came on conan's show, not literally, when he was still after leno. i wanna say it was when kill bill came out. she wore this purple dress and her legs were the greatest pair i've ever seen. they were burnt into my frontal lobes. i wish youtube was around back then.

Dude. I you not. One of the first times I saw HD in action was that exact same show. I know exactly what you're talking about. It'll also be tattooed into my brain until I'm 85. Crazy hot.
only link i could find

I honestly can't remember the last time I watched any of these late night assholes on TV.
purple and conan
nice effort, but not even close though. On that Conan show, she was like glowing with some sort of sex energy that I'd never seen in a woman before or since. I don't know what was up with the universe or God, but for some reason she was just insanely, unbelievably hot that night.
oh damn. i think i found the video.
I know we're internet enemies, but... link???
it's just a messageboard, dude
BEHOLD

Yowsa.
That's the problem NBC has had for years.
They want high ratings, full stop.
And when it doesn't come automatically, they start tinkering and then dump quality before it has a chance to work.
Off the top of my head I can think of several shows they let go - Scrubs, Journeyman, Life, that one with Christian Slater as two different people, My Name is Earl. . .
They've kept other shows that are hovering well past their expiration dates - ER, Law & Order (perhaps the entire franchise at this point), the Office is pushing it.
It's just frustrating, because if it's not an instant success, no matter how much critical acclaim it gets, it's dumped. And they are the worst.
And NBC just looks flat out foolish right now by doing this big switch, instilling Conan as the THE Tonight Show host, in grand tradition and then saying - uh. . . so you can keep the set and the le, but really, you're sort taking a big step back.
I don't Conan is quite as funny as he was when he was less censored, but it still beats Leno.
I meant that so much, I posted it twice. But I thought it lost some impact on re-telling.
If I was conan, I'd be pissed. I'd tell them all to suck it, sign with fox, and head back to NYC and stomp their ass in the ratings. He can do it.
Here's what Conan wrote. Interesting that he talks about watching Carson on Tonight and doesn't say diddly about the mockery that Chin-Boy made out of the show.
People of Earth:
In the last few days, I've been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I've been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I've been absurdly lucky. That said, I've been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.
Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree
of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.
But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.
Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn't the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.
So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn't matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.
There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.
Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it's always been that way.
Yours,
Conan
Leno's retort, according to iwatchstuff.com:
http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2010/01/c...t_show_aft.phpWhile I'd love to respect Conan and the tradition of The Tonight Show, I'm sorry, but as long as there are modestly amusing newspaper typos to report, I must continue to exist. Also, Uncle Jay would like some extra scratch for filling another garage with indulgent vehicles. Hope you understand.
Stay tuned for Jaywalking! I found some fools on the street who will say the dumbest just to get on air!

Conan's getting shafted. He's earned the Tonight Show. Leno should retire.
Conan's too good for NBC and I have always thought he was way too funny for something as bland as The Tonight Show. Please walk to Fox.
Yes he should leave. After seeing how they treated Letterman the writing is on the wall. Leave NBC with Leno and Fallon and they'll never recover. Just how big an ego does Leno have that he won't just step aside!!
Sounds like he's tip-toeing around what would be the bigger issue if I were in his shoes: Leno's show was such a clunker that local affiliates were up in arms over it hurting their local newcasts' ratings and now he gets to carry this albatross as his lead in.
I never got into watching either Leno or Conan but i'm siding with Conan on this one. This should be a wake up call to Leno. He was an okay replacement for Carson but I don't think he ever developed a connection with the audience like Carson did. I don't see him as someone NBC should go all out for. Conan has the show fair and square and should be given a chance, unles there is small print in his contract.
If nothing else you can be sure a cheesy movie of the week will be made out of this thing and you'll find yourself thinking "why did I waste that two hours"?
