Dont blame Conan!

To be fair the tonight show has been bad ever since Carson left. Actually Leno was filling in often before that, so it has been at least not great since the late 80s. At least everything else Conan has done has been gold. The tonight show brass suck balls. At least they got Conan and Andy back together <3

14 years later and Conan was right, the jokes lasted longer

“Tame” is an interesting way to say “not funny”

Conan is the Goat

LMAO

How could they possibly care about what the viewers want, if the gave jimmy fallon the job?

Title should be Conan sticks it to. Not sticks it up to

The way he is sitting reminds me of Big Baby Stewart from MadTV 😂

How tf was leno ever so popular? He’s the worst. Lol Conan has always been 100 times funnier and likable

What a fuckin' tool. Hate that guy.

The accent is the weak point. Great actor but accents aren’t his strong point.

Dave really does not like Jay Leno. JFC that was hilarious.

ooh spicy

A bit of extra tea for those who don't know this story already... Leno once was in serious discussions with ABC to leave NBC, and if it had happened, Leno would have taken Kimmel's timeslots and been his lead-in. So Jay started reaching out more to Jimmy in order to start a positive relationship with him in case that went through. Once NBC renewed Leno's contract once again, that whole dog-and-pony show he was putting on for Kimmel abruptly stopped. I remember Kimmel quoting that he felt "worked over" once he figured out what Leno was doing. So yeah. Jimmy wasn't a big Leno fan.

i dislike kimmel a lot but he ate this ONE thing

In 2024, NBC is still seen as the Stupid kid on the block. Missed opportunity after missed opportunity. Imagine backing the literal horse looking man over the peoples Conan. Whichever exec made that decision shouldn’t only be fired but kept from working in tv ever again. What a joke.

Leno's response is somehow more bitter and less funny despite him holding all the cards. Impressive!

I can’t STAND Kimmel… but I guess he ain’t all that bad after all. Lol

Here we see a VERY rare W from Jimmy Kimmel

Valid history lesson at the end. Comanches killed Indians because they wanted their land.

We were robbed of having this legend on a tonight show... Now we have to deal with the Jimmy's.

Oh Jack mcbrsyer says here’s a fun fact

OK its been 10 years and Kimmel sucks as a late night host - but this moments is great. Good for him.

Kimmel > Fallon

Jimmy Fallon sucks

I want to know who in their right might would yield a 6 figures gig to another guy for no reason than because the other guy has been lobbying for it for 15 years. How about no.

I didn’t know about this. Jimmy earned my respect.

Don't Blame Conan

Conan destroyed Conan! He blew it and let’s not pretend that it was someone else’s fault.

Maybe it wasn't all Leno deciding if Conan was leading the waltz. Sounds like NBC had the final say on this. That's why Leno was quiet.

I couldn't tell you who was after Leno or Conan but I remember Conan online.

Even at the time kimmel did not have that much pull pretty sure i saw he could of been gone so that took serious balls to do that to leno at the time 😂

Conan is 100000x funnier than leno

Y'all all think this is Kimmel "roasting" him, as if Leno wouldn't know the jokes that were going to be made Ahead of time. That was literally Leno bringing Kimmel on to try and say "Look, I can take a joke!"

Before kimmel was a complete shill eh

NBC sucks..,has for decades

THIS is why I'll always love him.

Conan❤

Everything on TV is scripted. Anyone who thought these responses were a surprise to Leno is intellectually under the age of 11.

They're still hitting 14 years later

I dont like kimmel but i like him 1% more now

Jay leno lost all credibility in my eyes because of this

Can’t deny he’s golden banned from Kazakhstan caused riots and trolling the whole nation love him or hate him nobody would ever achieve the level trolling he’s achieved period ….

Opie and Anthony brought me here. Idk wtf I thinking but I was expecting some 2020s graphics 😂

Okay this is the best thing Kimmel did 😭

Scripted af

This never happened before prayed was outlawed in pubic schools. /s

Si Peter Griffin hubiera conocido esta app antes, hoy en día seguiría vivo peter jr. 😢

That’s the Jimmy Kimmel I remember😂
