Because we at Mollygood are well aware that so many opinions are so wrong so often, it comes as no surprise that there is a fervent backlash against Conan O'Brien taking Jay Leno's Tonight Show hosting gig. What is surprising is that many of O'Brien's detractors don't even know what channel their favorite comedian – Jay Leno, the "kind" one – is on. (So [sic])
When Monday's column led with news that Jay Leno was thinking twice about the deal he signed to hand over his Tonight Show hosting duties to Conan O'Brien in 2009…the overwhelming majority thought losing Leno would be a big mistake. Interestingly, many of the same people who voiced this opinion mistakenly thought that the "Tonight Show" runs on CBS.
"When I heard that Jay leno would be replaced with this idiot Conan, I told my husband that we would need to find a new show to watch in the evening," wrote commenter TatianaTova. "I would be happy if CBS will listen to the viewers and keep Jay for a few more years. I cannot imagine anyone in the place of Jay; he is funny and kind at the same time…"
"CBS better rethink this one," agreedf Boston1954. "Can't stand Conan, he's a herk, and what's with the hair. Won't be tuning in to CBS anymore if that happens!"
A few other commenters piped up and tried to explain that Leno and O'Brien were the late-night stars of NBC, not CBS, but they were overwhelmed by the ire of Leno's fiercely loyal legions of fans.
Occasionally, people's words express much more than they intended. Here, for instance.

Jay sucks. Conan's funny. Conan needs to keep his own damn show, I don't want him on the Tonight Show.
i never watch either one of these yahoo's. Past my bedtime!
I met Jay Leno once at a car auction. He was actually pretty cool for a Mr. Potato Head. Of course I was helping to get him registered as a bidder so I held his automotive life in my hands.
I saw (but didn't get to speak to) the Dali Lama at the same event. He and his brother (a prof at Indiana University)came up to take a look at the old cars.

dog- cute
Leno- dull
what a cute puppy!
Screw them both and get that puppy a show. I'd watch him, look, he can friggin type. That's talent if I've ever seen it. I bet Leno can type with his chin.
I have a friend who thinks Jay is hot. I just think she wants to know what it would be like to be chin fucked. She doesn't fool me no way he's hot.
I agree with jujubees. I'd rather watch the dog! More talent and much better looking.
I can't wait for Conan to take over - I might actually watch the Tonight Show again. He's hilarious, interesting, a good interviewer, and he wrote some of my favorite Simpsons and Saturday Night Live bits. Jay Leno is boring, awkward, and annoying. Conan rules!!!
