NBC was warned by thousands of Tonight Show viewers this would happen. The show was a icon, viewers of all ages tuned in for 50 years. O'brien fell flat on his face. The ratings dropped by 40 percent. His frat boy comedy didnt cut it. I say good riddance. AGREED! NBC was warned by thousands of Tonight Show viewers this would happen.

Because when Jay Leno first took over the show after Johny Carson (which he stole from David Lettermen) Jay didn't get first place until about a year after he started. And then when Jay Leno was told that he would be forced to give the tonight show to Conan, he decided to run an absolutley terrible show before Conan so that Conan wouldn't get as many ratings. Because in order to have a succesful talk show you must have a good lead in show. When Jay was head of the Tonight show he had some of the best lead in shows on tv. But now Conan has one of the worst lead in shows on tv. Plus if you just read about all the people that Jay Leno went out of his way to screw over, its pretty riduculous. And it doesn't seem out of character for him to be messing up Conan's new show on purpose, which is what I and several other people who have met Jay think he is doing. Jay is an ass hole.

Conan signed a contract back in 2004-2005 to take over the Tonight Show. In 2009 Jay was to retired (forced retirement by NBC) but was enticed by offers to move to ABC to replace Jimmy Kimball. To prevent Jay from going to ABC and competing directly at the same time with Conan, they offered Jay a show at 10 (and offered him twice the money that Conan currently makes) Though Jay's ratings are down (since he is competing against Drama Shows on ABC and CBS), so are Conans. Jay left the Tonight Show with it being the top show at 11:30 to 12:30. Conan has transitioned, and has taken the show from #1 to #3 (Yes, he's even trailing Jimmy Kimball). NBC is replacing Conan because Conan couldn't get the Job done after 6 months of hosting the Tonight Show. I agree, they should fire Jay (since crawling back to Jay would make NBC look terrible). However, Jay and Letterman will end up beating Conan. The only person who got screwed was Leno; pure and simple facts! Funny how many errors are in this story.
