Artie Lange Saw the Future of The Tonight Show, but No One was Listening
Artie Lange visited Late Night in November 2008, as Conan O'Brien prepared his move to Los Angeles to take over The Tonight Show. Lange did not want O'Brien to leave, and his words about it then ring eerily true today.
Watch as Lange jokes about how sitting with Jimmy Fallon on Late Night won't be the same, before telling O'Brien, "I think it's a bad move. I would've rooted for that bobblehead Leno to stay longer and you could've got the $40 mil for nothin', right?"
