NBC pays Conan $45M to leave.

Huh, I climbed from a middle lower class upbringing to an upper middle class adulthood, and Jandurin's characterization matches my experiencexaos

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"] small minded thinking and prejudice would lead one to such conclusions.. but it really doesn't work that way.EMOEVOLUTION

Well, you're experiences aren't reality.EMOEVOLUTION

[QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"]Well, you're experiences aren't reality.Jandurin

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"] Great. But that's not what I was talking about. It's easy to think you did everything on your own and that you some how made a way for yourself. BUT it's not reality. Circumstances aren't the same for everybody. MANY Americans believe that in America there is this ability to move easily between social classes and with some hard work and effort anybody can do it. It's simply not true. It's a lie. Some people do it on a small scale.. some on a large.. BUT most of the population doesn't have those opportunities.. and it's not because they didn't work hard, or didn't make an effort.EMOEVOLUTION

[QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] life isn't "easy" just because there's a belief that it's "easy" doesn't mean it is or should be. it's whether it's POSSIBLE or not.Jandurin

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"]Well, you're experiences aren't reality.EMOEVOLUTION

Well, they do believe that. It's called the American Dream.. and it's nonsense.EMOEVOLUTION

[QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] What? :lol:Jandurin

Do I win an award? His experiences are only a very very very small portion of reality. As are mine. I wasn't questioning whether or not what has happened in his life.. but what it really means in the big picture.EMOEVOLUTION

Are you generalizing on the other side of the spectrum, so eager to assume that they ARE hard workers when they may not be?FragStains

OH, I'd humor you on this account, but then you'd get confused, and you'd think I really believed that about myself. Which would mean you'd never understand why I say anything I do. It's what I don't know that allows me to say anything at all. Not what I do know... because really, I don't know a whole lot. AND, I spend most of my time exploring what I don't know, and not what I do.EMOEVOLUTION

That's a nice batch of cash there. Still unfortunate it had to come to this but I guess he'll find another company that will welcome him.

I'd add more to this thread, but until I am assured of my own reality, I think it is best that I keep my own counsel :(xaos

Wasn't it just Colbert vs. Conan?

And how I miss the Walker Texas Ranger lever...

he should go to cc after stewart / colbert. that's a better lead in than leno anyway.comp_atkins

He would be on at 12, thats the reason he left NBC.

Besides, there's no way he is going on a channel like Comedy Central. His only option is Fox.

wish i had some popcorn for pages 2-3 of this thread :lol:

anyways, there's not many things i wouldn't do for that much money. actually, aside from kill a man, i think there's nothing i wouldn't do.

Leno's time had run out and passed the torch to Conan and Leno cries then NBC is like " don't worry we will give back your show" Leno is old Conan is hip and fresh NBC executives are idiots.Gunslinger_1988

Leno never cried to have his show back. Had he had it his way, he would have never left the Tonight Show when he did in the first place.

NBC moved around the late-night timeslots, Conan did not like that, so Conan decided HIMSELF that he would just leave NBC, and since the Tonight show is now open again, Jay Leno decided to take it back, since really there is no one else that could. That's why Leno is taking the show back. Not because he whined, but to replace Conan since Conan willingly left after NBC's crap.
