I loved seeing that clip as a fan of both Conan and Young Justice.  However, I have seen the episode that the clip was taken from, and the character that they animated The Flaming C on top of is Superman or Batman (I can’t remember which, but he has Batman’s voice).  It was great seeing Conan’s character on the show, however, and I do hope that they keep pumping out the clips.  It was definitely animated by the studio, though, and looked spectacular and authentic.  I’m hopeful that they actually do a cameo, but I’m not sure of the legal implications of that.  Because Conan owns his show, it wouldn’t be too difficult to make a deal with Warner Brothers to make it happen.

Clip after the break.

In the meantime, Conan O’Brien will be returning to TV in a little more than a month.  His new show is simply called Conan and it premieres on November 8 on TBS at 11pm.

The logo for the show has also been revealed, as you can see here.

If you would like to keep up with the show, they have plenty of ways to do so:

I commented on TeamCoco about the new logo, saying: I need that on a T-Shirt, a mug, a hat, a Zip-up Hoodie and a Jacket!

Or just put it on a jogging suit, and include a Conan wig and sweatband to hold the wig in place as I run around the neighborhood.

Conan’s blogger Bley responded: Or what about a hoodie with the hair attached?!

Conan also tweeted about the nominations, saying “Congrats to my staff on 4 Emmy nominations. This bodes well for the future of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.”

TBS is likely responsible for Conan’s nominations, having campaigned for him when NBC did not.  Conan’s class-act attitude about the entire situation is also a big part of the nominations, I’m sure.

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien swept the categories for which it could have been nominated:

• best variety music or comedy series
• writing
• directing
• art direction

Besides, I’ve met many amazing people, and am likely to meet more over the next ten years or so, as more Narnia films are created, as well as M. Night Shyamalan movies and who knows what else.  That being said, just hanging out with Conan for a while would be terrific.

Anyway, Conan is doing the tour from April 12th, in Eugene, OR, to Atlanta, GA where he finishes at the Fox Theatre on June 14th. Could that be a hint of things to come?  Probably not, but I hope so.  Getting a new show together from June to September would give him three months, charged up from many sold out shows, to launch a new show to all new ratings highs.

Either way, this is very exciting!

What I’m going to do is quote the important parts of the interview, and I might comment on the quote, if I feel it necessary to elaborate on what should be fairly obvious.

WINFREY: It all started five years ago when Jay says NBC came to him and asked him to give up his number one rated “Tonight Show” to make room for Conan O’Brien to become host in 2009.
[GRAPHICS: THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO SEPTEMBER 27, 2004]
Mr. LENO: This show is like a dynasty, you hold it and then you hand it off to the next person. So right now here it is, Conan, it’s yours. See you in five years, buddy. Okay.

Here’s where Leno acknowledges what the Tonight Show used to be.  A dynasty, which he has now ruined.  That was also his first lie.

WINFREY: Okay. So were you planning at the end of that five-year period, 2009, you were–what were you going to do?
Mr. LENO: Well, I did tell a white lie on the air, I said I’m going to retire. It just made it easier that way. But I assumed I would find a job in show business somewhere. If I kept “The Tonight Show” number one…
WINFREY: Did you think you’d go to another network?
Mr. LENO: I assumed that’s what would happen, yeah.

A white lie is a lie, Mr. Leno.  In the end there are no different levels to lies.  It’s either the truth, or it’s a lie.  You lied.

And here’s where he starts talking about the people that work for him:

WINFREY: Mm-hmm. So at what point did the NBC executives come to you and say, “We want you to do your show in prime time?”
Mr. LENO: Well, the fly in the ointment was, uh-oh, we were number one right up until the day we left. In fact, they had me leave seven months early before my contract was up because this would preclude me from going somewhere. And plus, I have 175 people that work for me. So I thought well, the best way to keep things smooth was NBC came up with this 10:00 idea, and you know, I said…
WINFREY: When did they come up with the 10:00 idea?
Mr. LENO: I guess it was in the fall of 2008. And they had their charts and the graphs. “Well, you see people would love to see you at this time.” They had all these things about why it might work at 10:00. And I said, “Well, can I keep my same staff? Can we keep–maybe take a month and a half off or so and then bring everybody back in a smooth transition?” And they said, “Yeah, we can do that.” I said, “Okay, let’s try it.”
WINFREY: So this was your option, moving to prime time rather than going to another network or going through looking for another job…
Mr. LENO: Well, going to another network, boy, it’s a lot of work. I mean you don’t know where you’re going, you don’t know who you’re dealing with. I’ve been at this network since 1984 in one form or another. I know the lighting guys, I know what lighting guys I want, I know the makeup–I just know–I’m comfortable here. I’m not someone who jumps around.

Listen, Leno: did you not realize that your people, all 175 of them, also were aware that they had only 5 years left of working on The Tonight Show?  That they all had five YEARS to figure out what they were going to do next?  Most people would love to know that they were set for five years, and had that long to find another job.

WINFREY: The other side of that, many people say that your going into prime time five nights a week, it took away thousands of jobs from other people who would have been working on dramas…
Mr. LENO: I’ve got to admit, that was not something I even realized until we went on the air. But they’re not wrong. I have to admit, that one did catch me. We were on the air when I realized, wow, I have to admit, that one I didn’t know about that.
WINFREY: Because you weren’t thinking about…
Mr. LENO: No, I wasn’t thinking about that at the time.
WINFREY: …the shows that would have been on had you not been on.
Mr. LENO: Right. Right.

So, he didn’t think past his 175 co-workers, to the many thousands of people out of work  due to a lack of prime time tv series.  And again, the 175 employees had five long years to figure out where to go next.  Thousands of people are unemployed because he didn’t think of the consequences.  He could have said “no.”  It wasn’t like NBC was forcing his hand to sign.

WINFREY: Do you feel any personal responsibility for Conan’s disappointment?
Mr. LENO: No. It had nothing to do with me.
WINFREY: Mm-hmm.
Mr. LENO: I mean, as I say, there’s always someone waiting in the wings in this business to take your job. If you’re not doing the numbers, they move on. It’s pretty simple.

Conan’s ratings were down… like Leno’s were when HE took over the Tonight Show.  It took Leno 3 years to be on top of Letterman.  Leno also didn’t have “The Johnny Carson Show” as a lead in at 10pm each night, to steal ratings.  It had EVERYTHING to do with Leno still being on TV.  The simple fact is that NBC made bad business decision after bad business decision.  It was all about the bottom line, and while that’s understandable as a business owner, it was also really stupid.  As a business owner, you look for ways to save money, sure, but you also look out for the future.  Leno doesn’t have as long as Conan does in late night.  Instead of making expensive shows, NBC chose to save money by putting a cheap Leno show on at 10.  They saved money, sure, but lost a fortune when Leno’s numbers weren’t good.

Leno’s horrible numbers translated to less people watching NBC affiliate news at 11, and as a direct result: Conan getting even worse numbers.  This was the cause of the Tonight Show potentially showing in the red for the first time in 60 years.  It was nothing Conan did.  It was NBC’s fault for keeping Jay Leno around.

NBC also opted to not think about the future.  Giving Conan the chance, without Leno on TV, would have forced people to actually give Conan a chance to win their hearts, which I’m sure they would have.. and will at Fox, or wherever he ends up.

Not to mention: Conan uprooted his ENTIRE staff, moved them all to California from New York, and they’re all looking for work after only seven months.

WINFREY: We asked viewers to weigh in on the Jay versus Conan controversy. About 80,000 of you responded to our Oprah.com poll. When asked whose side are you on, Jay’s or Conan’s, a staggering 96% of you said Conan. And 94% of you believe Jay should not go back to “The Tonight Show.”

And now here’s where Oprah lays it on thick, and I think that Leno has basically been backed into a corner and is forced to confront, for the first time, the things we’ve all been thinking.  Not only that, but his answers show him to be self-serving.  He’s got very poor logic in his thought process about the whole situation, and doesn’t appear to be thinking about the larger effect that it has had/is having.

WINFREY: Honestly, you know, we’re not like friends talking all the time but I think over the years we’ve developed a friendly relationship. So many people were against you. We did an Oprah.com poll, and there were so many people who were on Conan’s side, that I started asking like do I have it wrong? Am I missing something here? Because the way I understood it is the way that you’ve explained it.
Mr. LENO: Right, right.
WINFREY: So the fact that so many people seem to feel that you are being the selfish guy…
Mr. LENO: Right.
WINFREY: …who–that’s why I’m asking you the questions, who stole Conan’s dream? That’s why I keep, you know, hammering on is there a part of you that feels that you should have just retired?
Mr. LENO: Well, like I say, to me, being retired seemed like the selfish thing to do.
WINFREY: Why?
Mr. LENO: You walk out and say to the 170 people that work here, “Listen, I don’t want to get my reputation ruined, I don’t want anybody talking bad about me. So I’ve got enough money, I’m going to leave. You people can all fend for yourself.” I mean to me, it’s sort of a team effort. Everybody’s in it here together, and as long I’m working, they’re working and that seems to make sense to me. Is it a little selfish in that I still like being on TV? Oh, sure. But, you know, the minute you can’t do the job, they do tap you on the shoulder and tell you to leave. I mean, nobody is around who can’t do the job because you’re gone, you’re gone in a half a second.
WINFREY: Did you feel bad for Conan at any point?
Mr. LENO: I did, I felt really bad for Conan. I think it’s unfair, but TV is not fair. I thought it was unfair for me.
WINFREY: You felt that for Conan, but you didn’t think you caused–you were the reason …
Mr. LENO: No, I wasn’t the reason. The reason was the ratings.
WINFREY: Mm-hmm. Do you have regrets?
Mr. LENO: Oh, yeah, I do have regrets. I regret that it wasn’t handled better. I’m just not sure what I could have done differently.
WINFREY: Lots of people say you could have walked away.
Mr. LENO: Again, by walking away, that is an ego decision. That is me going, “No, goodbye, everybody, you know something? I’m fed up with this. You-all fend for yourselves. Good luck finding jobs, I’m out of here. To me, that’s the ego decision, not the other one.
WINFREY: Is it, really?
Mr. LENO: Oh, yeah, I think so, I think so. Like …
WINFREY: How is it an ego decision for you to say I’ve done it, I’ve done “The Tonight Show,” I’ve tried it prime time, that didn’t work. Thank you, NBC. I’ll take my paycheck and go.”
Mr. LENO: If I was going to do it that way I would say maybe after these two years of being on the air, I would tell my staff, “One year from today, it’s over, guys.”
WINFREY: But you could have done what–do you think now you could have done what Conan did? When they came in and said your prime time show’s canceled, you say okay, you owe me two years, because that’s what you said at the beginning.
Mr. LENO: Right, right.
WINFREY: You were guaranteed at least a year.
Mr. LENO: Right.
WINFREY: Two years if you were successful.
Mr. LENO: Right.
WINFREY: Pay me out, pay out my staff. You could have done that.
Mr. LENO: I could have done that, but I didn’t. They offered me my old job back.
WINFREY: Right, I get that.
Mr. LENO: Which is the dream job. I said okay.
WINFREY: Is there a bigger lesson in all of this?
Mr. LENO: The key is not to be bitter and I think Conan said it best when he said don’t be cynical.
WINFREY: Mm-hmm. And yet you said earlier you haven’t called him?
Mr. LENO: It’s not the right time, because I’m not sure what I would say right now. Let some time pass and I would hope we can talk again.
WINFREY: Will you have him on your show?
Mr. LENO: I would love to. I don’t know whether he would do it or not. I think he will have a successful show on Fox or somewhere else.
WINFREY: Wherever he goes.
Mr. LENO: And then we will all compete again and may the best man win.

Oprah then ends it with a call out to repeat this interview with Conan, to talk about the situation.  Personally, I think Leno’s speaks for Conan when Leno shows what everyone knows him to be.  A guy that doesn’t really see things for what they really are.  Who likes to put others down to make himself feel better about himself.  He’s the schoolyard bully, and that type of humor is not funny.

And to Mr. Leno, I say:

“Walking away from the “Tonight Show” is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Making this choice has been enormously difficult,” O’Brien continued. “This is the best job in the world, I absolutely love doing it, and I have the best staff and crew in the history of the medium. But despite this sense of loss, I really feel this should be a happy moment. Every comedian dreams of hosting the “Tonight Show” and, for seven months, I got to. I did it my way, with people I love, and I do not regret a second. I’ve had more good fortune than anyone I know and if our next gig is doing a show in a 7-11 parking lot, we’ll find a way to make it fun.

“Finally, I have to say something to our fans. The massive outpouring of support and passion from so many people has been overwhelming. The rallies, the signs, all the goofy, outrageous creativity on the Internet, and the fact that people have traveled long distances and camped out all night in the pouring rain to be in our audience, made a sad situation joyous and inspirational. To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. ”

“All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere,” he concluded. “Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.

Good night Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. See you in September, Conan!

People of Earth:

In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.

Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.

But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.

Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.

So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.

There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.

Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way.

Yours,

Conan

I’ve decided to start writing about entertainment.

I will inject a few personal things from time to time. Perhaps some religion, perhaps some politics, but for the most part it’ll be all video games, movies, tv, DVD and the like.

I’ve been wanting a place like this to have as an outlet for writing about my interests for some time now, and I’m looking forward to sharing that with people in the months to come. A lot of things have happened in the last year or so, and I’m hoping to write about some stories that have, perhaps, been written about to death, but simply because I am interested in those topics.

Look for new topics on Star Wars, Ghostbusters and more very shortly.
