How funny is that nobody that matters is on Team Leno in the whole NBC/Leno/Conan fuckfest? You’d think that a loooong-time standup, who’s helped launch the careers of so many others (via the Tonight Show for damn near 2 decades) would get some more love, but damn. Like Conan found out this week, that’s just life in the fast-lane, playboy. Allegedly, Jay doesn’t even accept a paycheck from NBC and instead makes his living doing standup gigs around the country (mostly in Casinos). But Illbert Garenas seriously can’t see a Jay Leno contract ending with the phrase “…for the rate of $0.01 per annum…now sign this.”
We here at IDW are mostly on Team Conan, but we have to think that all of his recent stuntin on them hoes at NBC is, in some ways, meant to distract people from actually contemplating how huge of a slap in the face this is for him and, frankly, how embarrassing this is for him. As red as the carpet might be over at FOX (or FX), he’s got a long and steep uphill battle ahead of him when it comes to regaining his relevancy after his hiatus.
