Um. Screw Leno. I saw Jimmy Kimmel make fun of him for a whole show and I got a kick out of it. XD Leno tried a show and failed miserably. I don't see why they should mess with Conan for Leno failing. Odds are, he won't do any better since a lot of people are mad over what happened.

The Jay leno Show isn't a failure, its meeting what NBC expected from it, but the NBC affiliates weren't happy with the smaller lead in and the 10 pm dramas that were all moved saw ratings drop as well. I kinda feel bad for Leno alot of people are getting mad at him because NBC screwed up

Ratings on the Jay Leno show were really low from what I have always heard. I don't really hate Leno, although watching someone parody somebody else always amuses me. I am not a big fan of Leno but the whole situation kind of pisses me off. Of course from the Media, it seems like Leno is pushing for the change just as much as NBC are pushing it.

Leno usually averages 5 million + from The Tonight Show and when he switched to primetime, he got somewhere around 6, maybe 6.5 million people, which is what everyone expected. NBC projected 300 million dollars a year profit from The Jay Leno Show. It was the affliates who got Leno's shows canceled. Conan O'Brien on the other hand, is getting 2.5 million to maybe 3 million viewers when he took over The Tonight Show. If you were NBC, who would you go with? Leno or O'Brien?
