I don't like it. This Jay Leno hanging around even longer issue.
What is with my generation having these breakdowns over trying something new. We used to consider ourselves such trailblazers.
So here comes Jay Leno, who has been yelping for years he's going to step down and give Conan O'Brien his chance.
I thought this meant he was going to go away, and try something new, for god sake. He's been doing that Tonight Show gig sixteen years now--
Isn't he bored?
Maybe, being a Taurus, he's sincerely afraid of doing something different. It's possible.
But, I thought he'd at least race his cars around a little. Can't you hear the 'boys' out in the garage right now? The outrage?
"He promised he was going to spend more time with us, his family. What's up with this new television show at ten deal?"
"Yeah. And I'm not going to buy it when he tells us he'll be off early enough to come and change our oil before bedtime now."
The money must be spectacular.
The ego as well.
"Please please please, Jay, you gotta help us out here. NBC is dyin', man. You can't let this happen."
"But what about Conan?"
"What about Conan? He still has his show."
"Yeah, but no matter how big his fan base, they'll just say it's because of my little insignificant lead-in show-"
"But it WILL be because of your little insignificant lead-in show, Jay."
"Insignificant?" whispers Jay.
