"The Mencia sitcom, based on his life and stand-up act, centers on a man in the middle of his very large multigenerational immigrant family."

Fire away ...

Now what's all this I'm hearing about Jay and Conan?

TV, why you gotta be like this?

Conan's out, Leno's back at 11:30. Maybe Conan will get a nightly hour-long improv show.

good guys lose I guess.

I never understand this shit in the first place

wasn't Leno getting the best ratings at the old time slot?

even from a business only, bottom line perspective you'd think they'd tell Conan to keep his old time slot or walk

Who even likes Jay Leno at this point? I think Tom said on a recent show that Jay's never done anything funny on his show ever, which is a great point. Conan and Letterman each have like 10 recurring skits that are well remembered. All Jay has "Jaywalking" and the stupid advertisements. He's hosted a show for like 18 years now and he still can't do an interview. He steps on his guest's jokes and brings nothing to the table.

We can all say whatever but Leno was the king of his ratings in his old time slot.

FINALLY, somebody willing to tackle this premise. I expect great things!

Two and a Half Men is also king of the ratings.  I think I see a pattern.  We're a bunch of collective shits-for-brains.
