Seriously, Conan O'Brien has been with NBC since what, 1985? And NBC wants to throw that relationship away over some money issues? Pfft. I just didn't like NBC because of their habits for cancelling my favorite shows, but now they're just greedy

Because in seven months time, Conan wasn't able to get the same viewers that Leno needed 18 months to achieve. Perfectly fair. :?

NBC is a joke of a channel. They've booted Conan (and paying him a lot of money), are bringing back a man who's bound to retire soon (and who everyone now hates), and when the dust all clears they're going to be all out of luck. Somewhere David Letterman is smiling.

Its surprising how embedded people are in this feud. I don't really understand it. Are people that bored with their own lives?

NBC is in it for those money issues. In the world of business anyone is expendable.

I'm shocked.. you should all love this.. It's capitalism working at it's best.

Capitalism knows no loyality.. look at what happened to Brett Farve in Greenbay..

It's hardly shocking NBC is treating Conan like this..

It is unfortunate what is happening to Conan, but unlike 99% of the internet, I'm not completely blaming Leno on it.

I know we shouldn't blame Leno for this, but he's doing such a great job of looking like the @$$hole of the whole deal - the main reason for the whole mess is Leno's show being abysmal. It was just horrible, and NBC want to shove him back to late night, at the expense of Conan. Second - Leno seems perfectly OK with the Tonight Show changing time slots for the first time in what? Since it's been created? And, if Conan's gone, he gets the Tonight Show back. So it may not be completely his fault, but I still wish he'd just burn in h.... er.. I mean "retire" already.

He can find stupid people on Melrose Ave and read newspaper headlines. The guy's a genius. :?

That was ages ago. Are you ever going to drop that?

And mostly because it was other people quoting me and telling me I was wrong about that game. Or one user in particular.

Jay was great on the Tonight Show when he was on it last time, so hopefully he will be as good as he was then when he gets on it again.While I like Leno, I must admit his last show was not that great. And I hope that Conan gets a show on FOX, because Conan is awesome and I would hugely miss his humor. :(

Because NBC is run by morons who don't think about what they're doing or how it will effect them in the future. As a somewhat related additional comment, the last time Jay Leno was funny Johnny Carson was the one Hosting The Tonight Show.

EDIT: Oh, and nobody is going to ever come close to topping Johnny Carson.

the NBC execs are ****heads. They seem to be standing by their decision and willing to let Conan go while refusing to let Leno leave even though he had insisted.

No, they just need to feel better than other people. That's the same reason why people watch MTV reality shows and soap operas :P.

yeah I really don't think the Brett Favre situation is comparable to this Brett Favre retired and then said he wanted to come back months later, an NFL team can't progress if they are constantly waiting on one player

TEAM CONAN!!! and I have no idea why I care... I never pay any attention to whats happening to celebs, but for some reason im paying way too much attention to this. I don't watch the show regularly or anything, but when theres nothing on my dvr I'll watch it. I think its just the fact that A: I think conan's show is better than Leno's, and B: Ive been entertained by conan for as long as I can remember, and i like the guy. It sucks to see him getting so screwed over
