Ha, if only everyone was a easy to trick as Rorschach...
Now I just need to find out who this Jay Leno person is...
Heh, another good comic strip.

Leno's just a talk show host. He's not that important.

Good strip, Shamus, but I'm on Team Belmont.

Well I'm on nobody team cause CoCo got fired. So I guess Team Coco vs The Chin battle is over. But Conan managed to clean NBC for 45 million dollars on the way out. So I guess he is the one laughing right now, considering NBC status.

Also yay for new Stolen Pixels.

I'm Team CoCo for the fact that he apparently made the most expensive joke in history just as a big 'fuck you' to NBC.

Haven't watched either in years. I think Conan's the better interviewer, while Jay's far better at standup. Since the most I'll watch is a monologue, I guess that makes me Team Jay. But I don't really are.

The thing is, NBC was enormously kind to O'Brien. Leno had neither the desire nor the need to leave The Tonight Show, yet they started pushing him out 5 years ago just to please Conan. Who then repaid the network with lousy ratings.

So although "Team CoCo" won the Twitter war, Jay pulls a much bigger audience. Which leads me to conclude that Jay fans are less likely to spend time on Twitter.

Huh. I guess I have to pull for Team Jay after all.

Hey, none of this is Leno's fault. He's just doing what he's told. I feel bad for Conan, though.

The only late night show I like is Craig Ferguson, so I'm immune to these "wars".

Placing all the blame on Conan is colossally unfair. Not only was Conan's lead-in worse than Leno's (being Leno, rather than ER), but he didn't even have a year to build his own following from what viewers were left after Leno's failure.

Leno was cancelled from prime-time precisely because he was delivering horrible ratings himself. Blaming Conan for that seems completely nonsensical.

I'm not from the US, and honestly I have never seen Conan. But I have seen a few Leno stand ups, and I found him funny, so I will go for Team Big Jaw.
By the way, I remember Conan telling Bart (Simpson) that he was the only one who could do the dance, so screw him....

I'm on team who cares.
Because I don't really care.

But I do feel for ConanLeno.

If Leno wanted to leave, then let him leave, but don't take him back just because he changed his mind.

It seems that Leno got screwed over in the first place, and he's just trying to get his show back, so good luck to him I guess.

Wait, Rorschach hates communists? What's up with that? Is that because he's supposed to be a Nazi of sorts, or what?

As for talk shows, i don't give a flying excrement about it. You see, i rarely even watch TV, and i'm on the other side of the world to boot.

I'm not really familiar with Jay Leno, but I even more enjoy Conan. So I'm siding with Team CoCo.

And as others have said it, in one way or another: Don't go changing your mind when the change is done. You'll end up paying huge compensations and then the Masturbating Bear happens.
