Comics Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien aren’t done with their humorous mockery directed towards their very own employer. On Monday night, the talk show hosts continued to attack NBC with unrelenting monologues. O’Brien, before the start of ‘The Tonight Show’, took a jab at the network during a promo saying, “It’s an amazing show, airing who knows when?”
After getting a round of applause from the audience, O’Brien started the show saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, please. You keep that up and this monologue won’t start until 12:05. And then where would we be?”
He added: “Good evening, everybody. I’m Conan O’Brien, the new host of Last Call with Carson Daly”.
O’Brien also joked about a California earthquake which “was so powerful it knocked Jay Leno’s show from 10 o’clock to 11:35″.
“Everybody wants to know what my plans are”, he said. “Everyone’s asking me. All I can say is I plan to keep putting on a great show night after night while stealing as many office supplies as humanly possible. I’m going to rob this place blind. I got 10 cartridges of toner shoved in my pants right now — just jammed down there”.
As for his take on NBC anticipating a $200 million loss for the coverage of the 2010 Olympics, O’Brien described it as “hilarious” and he might just “leave television altogether and work in a classier business with better people, like hard-core porn”.
Leno also mocked NBC in his show saying, “As you know, we’re not just a show anymore, we are now a collector’s item”.
