I doubt NBC is going to weather the late-night storm with Leno hosting on NBC.
I believe that Fox will pick up Conan and put him at 11:30, and he'll steal most of the younger demographic, putting Leno into a death kneel in a year or two. With NBC's late night dying, they won't have an answer without a guy like Conan, because I really can't see anyone else doing the Tonight Show because there really isn't a large group of comedians with the clout of Conan.
Also, Conan was incredible at guitar while playing Freebird with Ferrel and ZZ Top! I had no idea he was that good at guitar. Maybe he can get a music gig 'till September.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
