Monday – Leno (4.2/10) , Letterman (3.3/8)
Tuesday – Leno (4.0/10) , Letterman (2.9/7) (Leno -.2)
Wednesday – Leno (3.6/9) , Letterman (3.3/8) (Leno -.4)

You think Letterman will hold steady to that 3.0-3.3 while Leno continues to slide down for the rest of the week?

And Letterman is kind of down from previous weeks, even when he was vs Conan.

So far so good.
 
I was watching. It was hilarious. Then the makeover bit and the entire interview with Zack Gandafawhatever...fantastic. Schwepes.
 
eh god, Leno did several jokes on O.J. Simpson tonight! It's been over 15 years & that fucker is still doing jokes about mutherfucking O.J. Simpson!

That was the last straw, fuck him.

time to find a new avatar too.

Are you really shocked by that? I remember watching an episode of The Jay Leno Show and he was still doing jokes about Brokeback Mountain.

He might as well just record the whole show for the year in a few weeks and then be done with it.

At press time, nearly 10,000 Twitter users are following the budding Internet sensation. And along with the instant celebrity factor, Killen is also benefiting in a few other ways. "Before I was having a hard time with the camera, so this guy from HornBlasters ... they offered to buy me a webcam," she said. "And he surprised me with this brand new Apple computer that I'm using right now."

But that's not the only freebie Killen has received. One company has even offered to donate a ring for the newly engaged couple.

No shit sherlock. He'll be doing Lewinsky jokes next if he hasn't already (and I'm guessing he has). Old people who can't tell the passage of time don't care.

Now, if you want something funny..... try Craig:

Craig's Oscar rants on Hollywood was ....fucking awesome. :lol
 
Sure we get a California Dreams cast reunion, but where's my hot fake-Brit & Elena Lyons from USA High? I was a young man, I need to know!

Or hopefully at least see them naked in something
 
This Twitter "show" is awesome.

None of those accounts are actually him except the main one, are they?

They are all working together and reacting to each other, so it could be him and his writers.
 
Mistakenly turned to Leno for 5 seconds and I heard him telling Richard Roper that Hurt Locker succeeded because it was finally a war movie that portrayed Americans' soldiers as heroes.

Never again.
 
oh shit...

Andy Richter Goes Off on Jay Leno and NBC on Live! With Regis and Kelly

Andy Richter filled in for Regis to co-host Regis and Kelly today. In addition to interviewing the always charming James Spader, Richter had his first opportunity to speak his mind about the Late Night Debacle. He did not hold back.

Kelly Ripa very bluntly asked Richter if he had any ill-will towards NBC and Jay Leno after he and Conan were let go from The Tonight Show. Ripa follows this question by clarifying, "not that you're gonna be honest, but go for it." Much to her (and our) surprise, Richter was completely candid, blatantly discussing how he felt Leno and NBC screwed him and Conan over, saying he would be a self-hater if he didn't hold a grudge against NBC.

After he was finished telling everyone how NBC screwed him over, he moved on to Jay Leno. Vacillating between a calm and measured voice, to a high-pitched, almost angry shriek, Richter discussed his "displeasure" towards Jay Leno, the man who explicitly said one thing on tape, and then very obviously did another.

Richter has obviously had a lot of time to think about the NBC and Leno screwing him over, and he is speaking with a calculated chip on his shoulder. The anger in his voice is toned down, but it also sounds like he is channeling his hatred towards NBC and The Chin into motivation to do bigger and better things in the future instead of just moping.

What are you talking about?
 
Thanks for the Andy interview. <3 Andy just hearing his voice makes me miss the show. Also how can Kelly be so bad and unfunny I mean shes on tv everyday. Like she can't even play along properly.

I hate Leno's set. It's ugly

Someone here posted that Kevin wouldn't return to the Tonight Show, did I read wrong or did he just change his mind?

I would think the most likely reason why they're reacting to each other is because they all seem to be Conan fans (or just out for shits and giggles) and posting jokes. You don't need to have an actual connection to someone to respond to them. As far as I can tell, the account confirmed as Conan's has not posted anything related to the other accounts. If I created "ConansWife" account and started nagging you'd have as much reason to think I'm one of his writers.
 
Score one for Team CoCo/Letterman, I guess: last night, Leno was beaten by Letterman for the first time in the important-to-advertisers-demo.
Monday's "Late Show with David Letterman" beat "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in adults 18-49 and adults 25-54, the demographic groups that matter most to advertisers. That's according to preliminary fast national Nielsen data just released.

Leno still eked out a win in total viewers, drawing 4.36 million vs. Letterman's 4.19 million.
