Damn that was so prophetic. He even said Jay stares at the wall waiting to work and he was right. Jaty wasn't retired for one second before he was back on the air.
Conan bombed. They all knew he would. They set him up to fail so they could get rid of him and bring in Fallon and Meyers. Fallon was the real replacement all along. That's why they didn't get rid of Jay. NBC only gave it to Conan cause it was in his contract. This was their scheme to oust him. It worked as planned.
@@aikcastle5043 because you're not? You can always wear boots and a hat. Conan was at least 6'6 and Howard was 6'6 with awful posture so probably closer to 6"8
Stern knew about Leno's tendencies when Jay snatched Stutterin' John from Howard's program (as an announcer yet) and paid him money he could never even imagine while working for Howard.
@@NARKISDUDE I completely agree that moving to TBS for his last 11 years of being a Night Talk Show host was the best move for him mental, physically, and emotionally, since TBS gave him 100% control, and he didn't abuse it; he even tried to help TBS get sitcoms and Pete Holmes a talk show, but didn't stick, unfortunately. That being said, the other half of his career was in NBC (and Fox for those 2-3 years of Simpsons writing), they treated him well and he gave amazing television content, and, most importantly, Tonight Show was his dream job; he would've been fine, imo, but the scandal with kicking Leno out for his job would've ended his run quickly, luckily Leno stayed on NBC, NBC tried to ass-fuck the Tonight Show, and we all love Conan and hate Leno for those events that transpired, lol. Anyways, if NBC didn't have a boner for Leno, I think he would've done really fine. He got all those A-Listers on his show on TBS anyways, didn't kiss anyone's ass, and even, indirectly of course, said that some celebrities are just crappy to interview when interviewing his closer friends or people that have a thick skin. But we wouldn't get Andy back, remotes, hundreds of actors getting a show under Conan's company on TBS, set changes, being able to take a year hiatus, changing how long the show is, and certain guests never being allowed on, due to NBC having a banlist; in the long run, we should all be kissing Leno's ass for being the scum of the Earth, lol.
@@NARKISDUDE that's accurate and it's also why Craig Ferguson wouldn't have been a good replacement either and why Stephen Colbert had to eliminate a lot of the things he wanted to do. That time period is for comfort food and certain big celebrities just want to talk about their last movie or show, they don't want to talk about anything else, their handlers don't want to talk about anything else, and these guys have to adjust what makes them great to begin with and it's not a natural fit. Colbert made the adjustment and while ratings wise he's doing fine he's also not nearly as funny or as creative as he used to be and it's why Conan wasn't as good and it sucks.
It cracks me up he has this huge car collection and the amount of gear heads that still won't fuck with him is insane. Hes got some of the rarest cars on Earth and people are still like naw he's too full of himself haha. Getting what he deserves.

Starting in fall 2021, he's slated to begin a new version of "You Bet Your Life", a comedy/game show format originally made famous by Groucho Marx.

@@lobitome I'm still on the fence on whether I'll watch it or not. Whether you like Leno or not, he's definitely an improvement over the last person to host a revival of the show. That person was once great, but has since taken a huge fall from where they once were.
It’s great to hear people who are at work discussing their jobs and their plight based on their years of experience and work place drama. I’m very tired of the all smiles everything is rosy once you are in “the business”. No matter what job you have, a job is a job.
I like Leno, Conan and Stern. Different paces and brands of comedy and I can relate to each one for different reasons. Leno was a workhorse or “the guy working down at the factory” who played the game well with execs. Conan, Letterman and Stern didn’t. In the end, everyone ended up where they needed to be.
Here is the thing for me. I don't really like Leno, as an entertainer. As a human being, I don't know him, so I can't judge him. But I am not going to take Howard's word on it. I know more about him, because basically he does love to talk about himself. He is very self centred. I don't mean narcissist. But I just cannot watch/listen to him. He is the worst interviewer. He doesn't want to hear the answers to the questions he asks, he just wants the guest to validate his opinions. As for Leno, Craig Ferguson had him on as a guest on his last show. Craig is/was my favorite Talk Show host, bar none. Pure Authenticity. So, if he had Leno on, it tells me that Leno cannot be that bad as people tend to make him out to be. And your exactly right. It's show BUSINESS! You cannot fault Leno for just being great at the game.
@@RogueBoyScout I agree with you on Craig. The guy was so charismatic. I’ve heard both of them on Adam Carolla’s podcast. They both sound like good guys.
@@RogueBoyScout And it's ironic to me that Dave Letterman produced Ferguson's show, and yet to the best of knowledge he never once appeared on it. But who did show up (and more than once) as Ferguson's guest? Yup. Jay Leno.

The tonight show went right down the toilet when they got rid of Conan.
Nah.. when Leno left it went down the toilet
First, the fact that they covered Rob Zombie's Stern theme is so cool
With the lyrics and everything too, not just the instrumental
What a terrific entry
I still can’t believe NBC didn’t give Conan more time to make a go of the show. He’s so much better than any of the late talk show hosts.
Not to mention guest hosting "The Tonight Show" on Monday's when Johnny was still the host.
15 years ago... Wow!
Stern always says what everyone is afraid to say. And because of that he looks like a damn genious here. I love his radio show, honest Howard.
Not lately. He is sell out and became everything he railed about. He is pretty cheap too. Ask those who worked for him.
Howard was so right.
Daymn, dude called it
2 incredible men.
lol, darcsystems, your reply had me in tears from laughter
Where is this reply... I wanna read it too
i think he probably saw it coming too and just refused to admit or show it because he's conan and one of the nicest guys on tv
so.... this was a Stern warning??
wow. Stern called it. I'd like to see the whole interview. lol
“I’m warning you…..Jay Leno is really friendly and wears denim a lot. Be careful”

Plain and simple. He gets anyone and everyone on the show, and the way he does it is all f'cked up.
The good old days:). When love was actually in the air… and friends were friends, for realz… I felt like the air was so romantic back then…
