Yeah, NBC boned David Letterman too, back in the day when they went with Leno to replace Johnny Carson behind Letterman's back (even though there was a verbal agreement). They had Conan signed to replace Leno for at least 4 or 5 years, maybe 6. If they weren't ready for the replacement they shoulda waited another year or two. I'm with Conan on this one, though I don't blame Leno I blame NBC execs.
I honestly hope Conan the best. I enjoyed him a hull of a lot more than Leno and to be honest i think Conan would fit in with Colbert and them on Comedy Central.
I liked what Kimmel said about the best prank he ever pulled. "I gave some guy my show, then seven months later I took it back!" Jay's trying to give the illusion of taking the high ground, but it's just making him look smug and arrogant.
I actually work on the Universal backlot where the Tonight Show shoots - let's just say the mood around here will be very different with Leno lurking around.
