Punny Or Die
UPDATE 3: Conan’s actual response: No Thanks, NBC
UPDATE 2: David Letterman’s Advice To NBC
UPDATE: Conan addresses the rumors. Sort of.
In a statement about the decision to move Jay Leno back to his original time slot and bump Conan to 12:05am, a spokesperson for NBC called Leno “one of the most compelling entertainers in the world today.” IN THE WORLD. Let’s see how I stack up to Mr. Leno. Here we go:
“Hey folks. Did you hear ‘The Tonight Show’ is getting moved to 12: 05am. That’s true. It is. Yeah, they’re changing the name to ‘The Tomorrow Show’.”
ZING! POW! PUNS! I must be one of the most compelling entertainers in the world too. Here’s another from the same awesome monologue of compelling, world class comedy:
“Jimmy Fallon’s show won’t start until 1:05am. That’s true. Now they’re going to call it The ‘Shouldn’t You Be Asleep? I Thought Weed Made You Sleepy’ Show with Jimmy Fallon.”
One more. Can your sides handle it?
“Did you hear about this? Something something veiled dick joke. Amiright folks? Kevin? Amiright?”
I got a million of ‘em.
FOLLW ME ON TWITTER, because why not? Also check out Kevin Eubanks’s album art and tremble at the majesty.

First, and I refuse to take NBC seriously until Jeff Zucker's brain tumor returns to finish the fight. Shit like this is why.

Tiger doesn't want that old slot back – it had babies. That's probably why he dicked around in the first place. He might want his money back…
Also, poor Conan… I hope Conan fights it, if he is contractually able to. They shouldn't shaft him like this. "Go to California… naw, I'm just kidding. Get your ass back to New York."

No problem. That was information that needed to be shared with the world. I am more awesome and more shirtless for having read it.

I am the only person who un-ironically laughs at Jay Leno.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:33 am
This news really annoyed me. I've never watched Leno but believe people who say he's unfunny. Conan, however, won me over quickly. I really hope he doesn't get jerked around, moved back across the country, or worse, cancelled.

Conan's getting the shaft so hard he thinks he's dating Tiger…. *rimshot*
January 9th, 2010 at 3:09 am
If your talking about the under 30 crowd…probably.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:34 am
Oh I concur that Leno has only ever had the most bland broad appealing humor whereas Conan has always been more inventive and unique.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:36 am
The "Shouldn't You Be Asleep" joke is unfunny enough to actually be in a Jay Leno monologue. You should sell it to him.
January 9th, 2010 at 5:16 am
Nice Eli riff-pose.
Leno is like Chuck Norris, in my opinion. He's famous, and I think I know why he's famous (Leno fought ninjas and Bruce Lee, right?) but I'd never see a piece of his work long enough to judge.

Josh:
Brilliant comic. Truly brilliant.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Comics about Leno are made less funny by the fact that they involve Leno. On the bright side OMGPODCASTYEAH!!!
January 9th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
glad you liked it but Josh didnt make the comic.
January 9th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
i thought the comic was funny.
January 9th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Awww…
January 9th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Sorry for being negative. I thought it was great, just not funny, for the same reason that I don't think leno is funny.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:53 am
It's okay man, you'll get your own geek webcomic series someday…someday.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:14 am
Who made the comic? Do you have different writers or did i get the name wrong…?
January 10th, 2010 at 5:17 am
The creator….his name is Joel.
January 10th, 2010 at 5:17 am
And he said…let there me funny…
January 10th, 2010 at 5:24 am
Actually I think the dead pan delivery of a over the top joke is more like Conan than Leno…. Leno seems to giggle and grin at every joke he says like he hopes that you realize "Yeah that was a joke I just told…you should laugh now…"
January 10th, 2010 at 7:07 am
Check the name under the title. Josh is one of the fictional characters in the comic. No big deal.
January 10th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
And here I was calling the creator God, the Lord Almighty.
I will make sure to stand up in church and correct my pastor today.
January 10th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
His name is Joel, Joel Almighty.
January 10th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Joel the Almighty who
dances to Bob Segar in his tighty-whities!
(BTW Joel – I'm the Topher who helped with the Aggregate device for the podcast.)
January 10th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
Josh is a fictional character, God's a fictional character, it all evens out.
Keep bringing out the funny!
January 11th, 2010 at 1:28 am
actually no, I'm going to claim this one too.
January 11th, 2010 at 3:29 am
My wife has a theory about Leno.
Carson picked Jay as his successor knowing that he sucked because he wanted the world to remember HIM (Carson) as the most entertaining host of the Tonight Show.
January 11th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Sadly, Carson didn't pick the successor. Well, he did, he picked Letterman, but the network ignored him. Which is why he was the first guest on the Late Show with David Letterman, and never appeared on Jay Leno.
January 11th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Loved the comic!
If Leno gets moved back to 11:30 (or 10:30, as we CST'ers know it) it will at least make my Conan v. Letterman decision easier…
January 11th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
No one's mentioned what's going to be filling the Jay time slot. The execs are looking at David Tennant's new show "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" today. If it goes well, it could be fast tracked to fill the hole one one of those nights.
January 11th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
A splendid show old taste once more old chap. Its a bit of a shame a lot of your jests are centred on american tv shows, but it wouldn't be a hijink if it didn't methinks. Perhaps and amusing Peccadillo.
January 11th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
I would watch David Tennant hang wallpaper…
