Why not get all the late night hosts together and they can create their block of Late Night, well, something. LNTV will run 4 hours a night. The first 2 hours will be hosted by Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and David Letterman, collectively. The show begins with the Top 10 list of why NBC sucks followed by extended versions of “Jaywalking” and “In the Year 3000″ guaranteed to put everybody to sleep before the last hour long extravaganza of “Stupid Pet Tricks“.
Hour#3: Jimmy Kimmel, Carson Daly and Jimmy Fallon will fight it out in a triple threat match, every night. George Lopez will be the referee and Craig Furguson will appear every few minutes to beat someone with a steel chair. The final hour is dead air, you know, just like Jay Leno’s prime time experiment.
Sadly, LNTV will have above average ratings. Though, this will lead to much infighting. Then, they will all be pooped on by Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog. Thus, leaving us with 4 hours of brain rot TV sure to make anybody put a gun in their mouth.
This sad little trip through the late night twilight zone was brought to you by the letter W, for: Who gives a rats ass!
The whole thing reeks of a late night skit gone horribly wrong. Though it’s ripe for SNL to have fun with at their own networks expense. Shame it won’t be done with a better cast of comedians though.
Leno was supposed to be leaving late night to retire, go back on the road, or to just sit in his garage and wipe down his car collection with a really big diaper. Had that happened we wouldn’t be dealing with any of this BS. I’m still trying to figure out how 5 million viewers sticking around to watch him after the late local news was supposed to equal 20 million viewers watching him before the late local news.
David Letterman is sitting in his recliner at home, laughing all the way to the bank, with his show running at least through 2012.
Conan, well … Maybe Mr Pasty wasn’t ready to fill Johnny Carson‘s seat, after all. Giving him a little more rope would have been nice, considering the plan for him to take over Leno’s timeslot was in the works since 2004! For his own sake, lets hope he gets big money to go elsewhere, then he can sit back with Letterman and share NBC horror stories.
As for the rest of the late night cache of hosts, as is already the case, this just gives them one more thing to poke fun at for a few days, before it gets old and bothersome, though I think it already has.

I love Conan! So sad to see him go – he’s a true class act and the best host that the Tonight Show ever had. He will be missed. Don’t ever change, Conan! We love you!
