   I don’t live in New York, but if there’s anything I can do to help I will do it.

   this is outrageous. conan shouldn’t be forced to compromise. he has scraped and crawled through late night hell longer than any man of his caliber should to get to where he is and for them to take it away in any part is ludicrous, disrespectful and they wouldn’t remotely consider doing this to leno. leno’s had his run. if this happens leno’s going to go down in history as the man who ruined the tonight show. he had his time, he passed the torch in good faith and to agree with this decision from nbc speaks volumes about his character. when jericho was canceled on cbs fans sent over 20 tons of peanuts to cbs studios which had great effect and actually got the show put back on the air. it was a short trip to cancellation after that but now a movie is even in the works. apparently this type of fan reaction has impact. i would like to suggest that all of conan obrien’s true fans send mushrooms to nbc studio in high volume. the address is as follows.

   NBC Television 3000 West Alameda Avenue Burbank, CA 91523 USA

   i suggest mushrooms in trubute to conan’s new background featuring the super mario background. also because like mario eating mushrooms nbc needs to growu up and realise the importance of a promise kept. this isn’t feeling bad for conan this is taking up for him. he needs his fans.

   good luck conan we’re rooting for you. hope nbc wises up and just cancels the leno show which is the obvious course of action.

   Chester, Good idea but maybe you should have thought of something a little less expensive than mushrooms. But I agree with you that they should just cancel Jay’s show. Let him go elsewhere. He’s always bragging that he doesn’t need the money anyway. He’s said over and over again that he lives only on the money he makes from stand-up. Great. Then Jay doesn’t need a TV gig anymore. (He’d just go buy some old car with it anyway, lol.)

   I will be there in spirit. I live in Washington State. I’m a huge fan of Conan and have been for years. The statement he released in regards to NBC’s SHITTY proposals just made me a bigger fan of his personal character. He’s a man of honesty, integrity and dignity in a business full of sleezy business whores in it for themselves, and greed. I have been a loyal fan of his for life now for sometime, but now it’s really set in stone. What they’re proposing to do with Conan is one thing, but moving the Tonight Show to a different time slot is totally fucked. Another thing, I may not watch Jimmy Fallon or think he’s the greatest, but it’s also fucked that NBC just doesn’t give a shit about his career either. It’s awesome that Conan wouldn’t screw Jimmy over like that.

   i thought mushrooms were relatively inexpensive…i suppose i should shop for groceries more.

   anything would do the job. hell, why not peanuts or crackers like the last guys?

   or we could send “wonderful pistachios.” and write on the bags “conan does it BETTER than jay.”

   you’d have to see a wonderful pistachio commercial to get that.

   Does anyone have an email to contact Conan, an email address he might actually read? I have searched, maybe just not good enoguh though.

   thanks

   Does anyone have an email for Conan, one he might actually have the chance to read? I have search, just maybe not good enough.

    If I could say one thing to Conan, I would tell him that he has made late night television “worth it” for so many reasons. I remember watching the Tonight Show with the same feeling of how great comedy can be in the hands of Johnny Carson, the best late night host ever. When Jay Leno would fill in before he took over the roll it was a night to go to bed early. It’s no wonder than when he lost the prestige of the Tonight Show, he in turn also lost most of his following. Conan was decidedly the best choice to fill the shoes and I was very happy to watch Conan on the Tonight Show. That they want to move the time slot for the show to appease the 7 people that like Jay Leno is pathetic. Good for you for making the decision to hold your ground and not give in to NBC’s fickle attitude toward it’s audience. I’d rather watch the Tonight Show die forever than to see it bounced around like a whiffle ball.

    A ballsy Tweet by Steven Haute, the stuntman Conan had on a few times.

    A letter to Jay Leno from a longtime fan
    Dear Jay,
    I’ve been watching you since the days you were a stand-in for Johnny Carson. When you first got the job on the tonight show, I was so disappointed how Johnny wouldn’t appear or provide any comments to support the new host of the show. After all Jay, you were such a likable guy; a class act in the business. No doubt, I was your target audience and have continued to be from the beginning. Where others migrated over to Letterman, I stayed with you all the way. I thought your opening monologue was better than David’s and while others may criticize some of your other comedy bits (Jay walking etc…)….somehow I still liked it. It’s an interesting phenomenon in comedy. Your friend, Jerry Seinfeld talks about this. His audience has become so loyal that they start laughing when he simply gets on the stage. Because it’s Seinfeld, his comedy bit can be a little off and he will still get the laughs. Let’s face it….some of your bits were pretty lame, but because it was you, they still got the laughs.
    What you fail to realize is that this is never just about how funny you might be. It is about the connection between you and your audience. Johnny Carson knew this better than anyone. This show is different than any other talk show or variety show. Your show becomes a nightly habit for fans like me who make a connection with you. All those years where I would read about the ugly side of Jay Leno, I didn’t believe it. I saw you night after night and only could see a class act, with character and integrity. All the rumors about the dark side of Jay Leno were simply attacks from your late night competition that you blew away in the ratings. I connected with you Jay. You were not simply a funny guy, but I admired and respected you. Why do you think so many tears were cried when Johnny Carson stepped down? Do you really think his audience was going to simply miss his comedy? No, it was about the man….the audience was going to miss the person that they connected with all those years.
    When I first heard about the proposed changes with the Tonight Show, I knew you would be that stand up guy with character and integrity and say “No, this isn’t the right thing to do”….. Little did I know it would be Conan Obrien that would be the man with class who could do what you wouldn’t. He wasn’t going to ruin the institution of the Tonight Show and encroach on his friend Jimmy Fallon for the almighty dollar. For what it’s worth, I was the new audience for Conan. I have to admit, I didn’t like all of his comedy bits and monologue, but I do believe in time he would have won over a loyal following from an audience like me. There was and is a real energy about Conan that I like and I could see him building the tonight show into the success it has always enjoyed.
    The final nail in the coffin moment for me was watching your Jay Leno Show the other night. I sat in absolute disgust watching the 10@10 with you and Jimmy Kimmel. It was a true awakening to see Jimmy blast you with barbs of satire about what you were doing and you just stood there and said nothing. What you didn’t realize is that you said EVERYTHING. Your lack of response and smug stature revealed yourself as Kimmel hit you over and over again with the painful truth. I saw the real Jay Leno that I had never seen before…..it wasn’t about your audience, your peers or your craft….it was all about Jay Leno.
    Welcome back to your show Jay. I am sure NBC will be in for another shocker when your audience has left and you sink the Tonight Show to an all new low. Sadly enough, your network will no doubt give you as long as you need to try and build your audience….obviously something they never did for Conan. It’s an interesting twist;…..you’ve actually become the Corporate NBC Suit that you used to make fun of in your monologues…..ah….let me correct that statement. No doubt you’ve always been the NBC Corporate Suit; we just never knew it until now.

    Wow, couldn’t have said it better myself Robert. Thank you so much for that and I really hope both Conan and Jay get to read this. I supported Jay when he was on the Tonight Show and was always a fan of Conan’s as well. I was elated to find out he would take over and watched the episode where jay handed over the torch with such grace to Conan that night. Where did it go? I guess you’re right, it was never really there. I am so sorry Conan! TEAM COCO!
