Conan shoulda learned from "rebel" Leno: Grab "Tonight" back from NBC execs!
Conan O'Brien is repeating the same "Tonight Show" mistakes that Jay Leno made in his early days, according to Jim Windolf. For instance, Leno learned that a massive, expensive stage — like the one Conan has — is a turnoff to viewers. Conan, says Windolf, hasn't been himself and he "is allowing himself to play the good son to NBC-Universal's rich papa. At times he looks like a nine-year-old boy all duded up for a Sunday-night supper at the country club. There he stands, naked and alone under the gleam, which seems too bright for late night, with only his old comedy homeboy (and, let's face it, possible jinx) Andy Richter seated nearby to put him in mind of the smelly improv stages and foul writers’ rooms where he got his start. At some point, Conan, like Jay before him, has to grab 'Tonight' away from the well-meaning executives, before they fire his Harvard ass." Windolf also points out that "Although Leno is called a conformist and a hack and a survivor and all that kind of thing, he certainly positions himself against his network bosses more aggressively than the more rebellious-seeming Letterman or Stewart."
