Jay Leno is a penis. And I don't mean a good-looking, attractive one like mine.

Oh god, Oprah is fortifying Leno's old and decrepit army for him.

The best part has nothing to do with Leno at all. It's in the third video, where Oprah interrupts the woman speaking to ask her if she's seen Up In The Air.Originally Posted by John?
After some time to digest everything, it really still boils down to being Leno's fault. It's easy to blame NBC, but Jay is the one who put on the "Nice Guy" act of "I'm not going to let another debacle happen like 1993." But if he truly didn't want to leave the Tonight Show five years ago, as he is saying now, then he should have fought the battle then, rather than allow this clusterfuck to happen. End of story. Jay's fault.
Night gathers, and now my snark begins. It shall not end until it gets hacky. I shall take my wife(... please!), hold no lands, father no negative ratings. I shall wear no crowns and win no AST Top 20 Rankings. I shall live and die by my posts. I am the LOL in the darkness. I am the fire that burns against the trolls, the sneer that guards the realms of men from Kyle Cease's Comedy Boot Camp. I pledge my life and honor to the AST's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.
2004 Jay: I did a bad thing back then baby and I'm sorry. I ain't never gonna hit you again.
2010 Jay: Pow!
Affiliate's fault?
I don't blame Jay Leno for wanting to stay on TV. Do you think cars really fulfill him? He has no kids. The tonight show is literally all he has.
Maybe NBC shouldn't have put a 150 million dollar out clause in his contract. That way they wouldn't have HAD to fire Conan in this economy.
Oh yeah, and the economy's fault!
I'm a MAN, dammit!
To me, this was the part of the Oprah interview that really stuck out: Leno said that he didn't want to have to tell his staff, "I'm fed up with this. You all fend for yourselves. Good luck finding jobs. I'm outta here." He wanted to be able to tell them, "One year from today, it's over, guys." Oprah then asked, "Do you think now, you could've done what Conan did?" There's a split second there where Jay looked like he was gonna shit his pants because THERE IS NO GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THAT. He ended up just saying, "Could'a done that... but... I didn't. They offered me my old job back." Oprah, obviously frustrated with Jay's evasion, said, "I get that".
But the cunt is still on his side! And if you watched the post-show audience discussion, a LOT of the people there were still on Jay's side! What a bunch of dolts! Leno should sue Oprah for ripping off "Jay Walking".
She basically called her audience idiots at one point. The poll of HER viewers was 96% Pro-Conan, which she then shrugged off by saying it would be different if they understood how Television works.
I think the most disingenuous part of the interview to me was Jay's pretense that he's 'just an employee' that shows up to work when they tell him to. Does he really expect us to believe that he is powerless? He's Jay Fucking Leno, not some P.A.
Also, Kudos to Oprah for making this sound like one random incident, and completely ignoring everything that happened between Jay and Carson and Jay and Letterman. Bringing this up would've completely shot down Jay's entire defense of this just being some silly thing that he had no control over.

So did oprah change all her entire audience's mind or something?

Guys, let's beat up a car and send a photo of it to Jay Leno. Really make him squirm.
I'm in.
Oprah Winfrey is a vagina. And I mean a fat, condescending one...like my dog's.
I've been trying to find Jon Glaser's "Aholes Through History" (the follow-up to Ahole Ronald) for years, someone finally uploaded it to YouTube this week!
This video also features another good Glaser bit (Drunk Billy Joel POV channel) and "Ah-Bah" with Andy Blitz is delightfully stupid/awesome.

Thank you for linking that video. I had forgotten all about a-holes through history. Me and my friends used to reenact that back in high school for years afterward. We were really really cool.
Quick show of hands; how many people here regularly watch Oprah? Okay, I'm gonna round up to 1%. And how many of you voted in this poll, or at least knew about the poll and could've voted? One, two, th... okay, ALL of you. This was NOT a poll of HER VIEWERS! Myth debunked.
Polls are stupid. I would place the margin of error right up around ±100%. Never, ever view poll results as factual information.

That is super awesome, and it reminded me of Conan's farewell speech. You know the crazy creative outpouring of support.

We should commision that guy to make a similar Jay Leno portrait using turds
DAMN. Impressive.
This guy from the Kansas City Star totally disembowels Leno after "the interview".

(Also like that "the interview" is nicknamed "O-J".)
I'm cross-posting to this thread, since it's relevant. And I would hate for any of you to miss such a great opportunity.
