How NBC Can Easily Solve the Jay Leno / Conan O’Brien / Jimmy Fallon Problem

Posted on 10 January 2010

NBC, in all it's complete lack of wisdom, moved Jay Leno to 10pm (wrong time), Conan O'Brien into the Tonight Show (wrong fit), and hired Jimmy Fallon (wrong person).

Now, its got a problem, namely that Conan is getting beat by David Letterman, and Jay might be out of place where he is slotted, and Jimmy Fallon is about half as funny as an Alec Baldwin voicemail message.

So, what to do?

Here's an easy solution. Put Jay Leno back where he was, then put Conan O'Brien after him for 30 minutes and then Jimmy Fallon after him for another 30 minutes. It might be temporary, but they all get to keep their jobs, be on the air, and attempt to make people laugh.

Like much of their humor, this is a no-brainer.

Conan O’Brien is getting a 33 million dollar settlement with NBC. That’s a heck of a lot of cash to give somebody to simply go away. I will admit that I much preferJay Leno in that slot instead of the prime time slot, but I think that Conan showed a great deal of class in fighting to get that big severence deal for his crew. I’m certain that he will land on his feet somewhere else soon enough. If he doesn’t, at least the 33 million will soften the landing.
