Oh whee! Conan O'Brien to be replaced by Jimmy Fallon

[MonkeyFunk]

breaking live on MSNBC, believe it or not. Lorne Michaels will produce it.

Keeping alive the tradition of not being funny!

1. You must be kidding.

Please?

[MonkeyFunk]

2. Nope

Next year, it's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

3. Gah

:crazy:

I never really watched Conan (I'm a Craig Ferguson fan), but that is just crazy. Did Conan want out?

5. Worse

Conan is replacing Leno on The Tonight Show.

I still can't comprehend it. From Johnny Carson to Conan O'Brien in a few short years.

11. I actually think Conan will be better than Leno

Leno was still doing the post-70's Vegas circuit schtick.

Conan, love him or hate him, presents a funny yet vanilla type of humor.

As for Fallon, well, let's just say I think he would be better at parking cars in the NBC parking lot.

6. I have this horrible image....

of Horatio Sanz being a frequent guest on that show...and the two of them cracking each other up, being spectacularly unfunny.

Ugh.

9. That's exactly what I was picturing.

:eyes:

7. What a doofus.

It's like putting that gas-bag Drew Carey on the Price Is Right.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

8. WHAT!!!????

I'm gonna die, i swear...:wtf:

[Reverend_Smitty]

10. Yuck!

I can't stand Jimmy Fallon! I like Conan but I don't know how his style of humor will go over during that 11:30 timeslot
