We did it the way things used to be done, face-to-face, phone call-to-phone call. that s the kind of integrity that conan has. he wanted to make sure that i wase happy moving to midnight. that i was okay. he would not have come over if he would even feel a little bit like he was going to have done to him what jay leno did to him? larry: honestly, were you team cocoa or team leno? i have to tell you the truth if a show is promised to somebody, then that person should have a chance to succeed or fail on his own terms. the 10:00 show that jay leno did in front of conan o brien was a disservice to conan having a fair shot of succeeding as the host of the tonight show. it was offered to him six years before. it was not a surprise. and in my opinion, as george lopez, i don t think jay leno should have done a show at 10:00. larry: so you were team coco i m team coco now i m team loco. ....
you know, everybody s been asking me this question. i haven t answered this question from the time conan and i last spoke on sunday. i m going to tell you, respectfully on sunday, conan will not have an issue with this. what he was concerned with was that he wasn t going to do to me what was done to him at nbc. that was his biggest concern. he did not want to get, as they say on twitter, lenoed. i m not getting lenoed. i m welcoming conan. moving to midnight i go to work an hour later? a dream come true. and the pay s the same? conan o brien wanted to know that he could do the type of show that he wanted to do. and the biggest concern that he was not going to do to me what was done to him. that was not the case. if you hear about that, you didn t hear it from me. that s not the case. larry: in the conversation, did he tell you he was going to take the deal? you know, he didn t tell me that he was going to take the deal. i didn t hear about it until the morning when i was in ....
It. i enjoy i m curious, you know, here s the beauty of growing up with the tv as your sibling. i watched the tonight show with johnny jcarson. johnny carson threw a party every night, knew everyone in hollywood, loved music, smoked cigarettes, johnny carson was a good listener. that all came across. he was cool. my homage and this show is like what i grew up watching. craig ferguson, probably the most innovative guy, because most of his show is done off the cuff. that s amazing. i have no ill will toward anybody. and like i said, i m happy that conan s coming and it makes late-night exciting. it s almost like a heavyweight division filled with contenders. everybody can knock everybody out. larry: does it mean, then, you don t go out and do stand-up ....
