Why are there so many unfunny, talentless people that continuously get opportunities in the entertainment industry?
>>

they are easy to work with and friendly

Your connections are ten times more valuable than your skill, and this is true of every industry
>>
>>63156154

Because talent is a distant second compared to who you know.

You post the wrong pic op.

Hey, wouldnt Conan be way better off today, if during his whole NBC fight he just sucked it up and aired an hour later after Leno?

Lenos not even on TV any more. Conan would still have been in a better time slot. If he would have just been patient and worked with the unfair requests of his network, he could be hosting the greatest Late Show of them all right now.

Im going to assume you used the wrong pic and not call you an utterly humorless retard like i would have

Once Jay Leno left, they would've put the Jimmy Fallon Cuddle Hour in his timeslot. Conan didn't get shafted because NBC loves Jay Leno, he got shafted because NBC has been in panic mode for almost a decade now and they didn't trust that Conan would be able to build the Tonight Show viewership to full capacity once he settled in.

He's barely getting by as is.

>>63156527
probably. Lots of insiders like Seinfeld and even Lorn Michaels didn't agree w/ Conan's decision to bail.

At the same time, if you don't feel like your network is 100% behind you and is still making you 2nd fiddle to the real ratings breadwinner, why stay? The NBC top brass at the time didn't like Conan or his humor anyway. They all left soon after the debacle, so we'll never know if they would've still tried to undermine a Conan show.

>>63156636
I don't get that, out of all these talk show hosts, Conan is probably the most interesting one.
>>
>>63156154

Conan was one of the most prominent writers during The Simpsons golden years. Including his years as producer of the show.

You can go fuck yourself right now fucking faggot
>>
>>63156527

He waited for that spot for five years (after already having worked there for fifteen years). He had every right to be pissed.

He pissed of somone.

>>63156866

Yeah but you dont make good decisions on the basis that you are pissed.

>>63156636

Lets suppose the worst, and they put Jimmy Fallon in instead of Conan. Wouldnt he still be better off?

>>63156690

>why stay?

Because you are hosting a huge TV show every night on NBC?
>>
>>63156366
Why is his face so weird. He looks like he's some kind of genespliced

>those videogame reviews
OH WOW LMAO VIDEOGAMES ARE WEIRD XD

on a network that doesn't think you're prime time material and still wants the old guy around to practically own your time slot and a time slot that has been purely tonight show territory for however many years.

If it got Conan Seth's ratings and kept Seth at SNL, it would have been worth it anyway.
>>
>>63156900
He cared about what time the Tonight Show came on a bit too much.

You are right. That sounds like literal hell. It must be the most excruciating thing anyone can suffer.

if Conan cared about ratings at all he would've sold out long ago and definitely wouldnt've taken a job at TBS.
