I saw this on TV, I don't have a link.

They were saying now that Leno is moving back to the Tonight show then what was Conan going to do...


I like Leno, but what an ass. You can't leave and then come back.

Then I thought maybe the network is having him comeback bc Conan isn't cutting it. And that makes me sad :(

Why We're on Team Conan O'Brien | PopEater.com


Conan essentially altered his entire life to take over 'The Tonight Show.' He left his comfortable New York City life, digs and reputation for Los Angeles, and was repaid with Jay undermining him right off the bat. To boot, now his ultimate reward is not only being initially sabotaged but also muscled out in the long run because the man who screwed everything up has so much clout he's now rewarding himself with his old time slot. Sadly, that's how things go more and more nowadays: Failures and incompetence are overlooked and sometimes rewarded, because loyalty and smooth talking are the only things that matter.


O'Brien is generally the smartest guy in the room -- or on television. The Harvard-educated former 'Simpsons' writer is always able to convey his wit in countless ways on his show. Sometimes it's conceptual and ridiculous (see: In the year 2000), sometimes it's lowbrow and idiotic (see: masturbating bear) -- but it's always in good fun and never mean-spirited. Leno, on the other hand, has always had a heavy hand when it comes to making those around him seem lesser. Making people look dumber than him became Jay's schtick over the years -- be it tourists on the street or the 'Jersey Shore' kids. Jay's brand of entertainment was to make Jay look smart and others look dumb. Everyone knows that when you overcompensate, you become easily transparent. Conan doesn't need to resort to antagonizing and "Ha ha, you didn't know that answer" antics because that's low-hanging fruit -- and it's hard to find anyone smarter than him anyway.

I think it's less about Conan's ratings and more about Jay's. The local affiliates were threatening to drop his 10PM show because it's killed the ratings of the late news on almost every NBC affiliate. I think they're just too chickenshit to let him go, fearing either really bad PR or that he'll go elsewhere and beat them a la Letterman.

Latest I've heard is Leno taking a 30 minute slot at 11:30, and the other shows following in the same order. They can get away with it because Conan's contract states his show cannot start later than 12:05.
