The whole reason they did this, is because 5-6 years ago when Conan's contract was up, they were so afraid of losing him to ABC or maybe Fox that theypromised him what everyone wants, The Tonight Show. Hoping to avoid the drama that Leno went through taking over after Carson, Leno agreed to step down...except like the big baby that he is, when it came time to he whined and complained. Meanwhile to make their star happy, the morons at NBC devised a"win/win" scenario of keeping Leno and saving huge sums of money by putting him on at 10pm.
NBC stopped caring about good broadcasting awhile ago, this whole fiasco just reinforces their failure, the whole reason was to save money, except no one wantsto watch Leno at 10 up against better primetime opponents.
I'm glad it's biting Leno and NBC in the %++, but I feel bad for Conan. He's had to change his show too much at 11:30 and his audience isn'tgetting any larger.
