John,

I was kind of following you until you mentioned that loser Dennis “Friggin” Miller. He couldn’t find a joke if it fell out of the sky and hit him over his flat head. Don’t you know? Dennis has gone all Faux Newy on us and he is not at all funny.

On Jay, I don’t watch him as much as I did Johnny, but who could replace the Great One? Given the crop of comedians out that, you would have to put Leno really close to the top. Hang in there Jay.

After Johnny Carson left the Tonight show, I could give a rat’s *** who took over. Since NBC didn’t have the foresight to put somebody funny, like Letterman, or Robin Williams, in the spot… as far as I’m concerned, the show died the night Johnny left us. Leno isn’t half the comedian Johnny was, and doesn’t bring the bright, witty and funny aura to the show. After Johnny left, the show became quite lackluster and dull. I haven’t watched the show since Johnny retired, past one or two episodes of Leno flopping around like a dying fish.
As for replacing Leno with Connan… that’s adding insult to injury. Conan is to Leno, as Leno was to Johnny; a pale substitute for the King of Late Night Comedy.

We miss you, Johnny… There will never be another like you.

Of course, this is only my opinion; I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller disclaimer)

Come to think about it; Dennis Miller would be the perfect replacement for Johnny Carson. He still has that edge when it comes to running riffs and rants on current affairs. He has a sense of timing and delivery that Leno and Conan can only aspire to.

What was NBC thinking — letting Leno go!? Not Good! Wherever Leno goes, I’ll be watching!

I was hoping Leno would stay and we’d poch Conan, but I’m not going to complain about Leno moving to ABC

I would be glad to see Leno move to ABC late nite, as I refuse to watch Conan–so, I will watch Letterman or find Leno where ever he is!

There is no way that they would move Nightline to the 10 PM slot because that would mean 5 fewer hours of primetime every week. Kimmel would have to leave.

I’m waiting for an animatronic show at Universal Studios Hollywood: “Great Momenets With Jay Leno”.
