So you guys have probably heard this already, but in case you don't know, NBC's been thinking of bringing Jay Leno back to late night at 11:35 since his 10:00 show is doing bad in the ratings, and also planning to move The Tonight Show to 12:05. Conan doesn't like this idea and may possibly leave NBC to do a new show on Fox. My take on this is Leno's already had his time and he agreed to do the early show and passed the torch to Conan. This is Conan's time now and what NBC's trying to do is a bunch of bull. Simply put:

I couldn't believe the shots Conan was taking at NBC in his monologue...and Leno! I guess I can't blame him, I'd be mad too if they wanted to basically can me already. Leno had 17 years, Johnny had 30!! but than again, maybe Conan's just not that good, and NBC realizes it now...I can see both sides

I heard Friday may be Conan's last show if things don't get worked out.

I guess he can go to Fox, They're the only ones that don't have a late night talk show (ABC has Jimmy Kimmel, although I have no idea how popular he is. I've never seen him)

Well tonight's Conan's last show. I'll be watching. It shouldn't be ending though.

Good luck Conan. I hope we see you back on TV soon.
Leno, I hope you fail.

This whole situation was just stupid to the core.
1) Conan O'Brian is way funnier than Leno. 2) I've heard that it took Leno 2 years to get popular. And yet they only gave Conan 7 months. 3) And all this seems to be out of nothing but NBC's Leno at 10/9c bet not working. Its not Conan's fault it didn't. Just seems like NBC (and possibly Leno) screwing over Conan to save face. Also when Leno decided he'd step down, wasn't the only reasons he got the 10/9c show was so NBC wouldn't have to spend as much on programming and to keep Leno from going to another network/channel?
Wouldn't it be funny if Letterman retired tomorrow and gave his show to Conan? Conan followed by Ferguson would be 2hrs of tv I would never miss. Make me laugh so much it would probably help my brain chemistry.
I really hope Conan ends up somewhere else. I'd love a fox show. But fox has a bad rep with late night talk shows. Perhaps a talk show on FX or something like that.

Fortunately for me I guess Ive never cared for either of these guys or their shows.
