Jimmy Fallon Tells CNN?s Piers Morgan NBC?s Original Decision To Replace Leno With Conan Was ?An Insult?
NBC?s Late Night host Jimmy Fallon speaks honestly about his own company?s missteps in handling the transition from Jay Leno to Conan O?Brien?and then back?calling the original decision to tell Leno he?d eventually be replaced by O?Brien ?an insult.?
In an interview set to air tonight on CNN?s Piers Morgan Tonight, Fallon describes the decision to decide Leno?s fate years ahead of time?and while he was number one in late night?made no sense. ?I think that?s bizarre. If you?re number one and somebody says, in five years somebody?s going to take your job, I don?t know what that means. If I was Jay Leno, I?d be like, what are you talking about?? Fallon said O?Brien, whose tenure as host of The Tonight Show was cut short and now hosts Conan on TBS, ?didn?t get much of a chance.?
As for the fighting between NBC (which has since changed ownership, with Comcast taking a controlling interest), Leno and Conan, Fallon described it as an awkward family feud:
It?s almost like watching your family fight. If you?re going to do it, get it over with, and I?m just going to sit uncomfortably at the table. Can I have more wine, please?
