You may have heard of the problem NBC is having with the Jay Leno show. Basically, it sucks and is getting bad ratings. So, NBC wants to cut it's time in half and move it back to 11:30 and move back Conan and Jimmy Fallon a half hour.
11:30 is, of course, the same time Jay used to be on when he hosted the Tonight Show (His years were a definite step down from Johnny Carson, and David Letterman was always much better). Meaning all Jay will have accomplished by leaving the Tonight Show is having his show time cut in half.
After it was confirmed that this will definitely happen after the Winter Olympics (Go US/Colbert Nation Speed Skating!), Conan said he will not go on after Jay, and will quit The Tonight Show if/when this happens.
But, the answer here is simple. When you're stuck with a stupid, boring show that's tanking in the ratings, you don't move it back an hour and a half. You cancel it. And that's what NBC needs to do with the Jay Leno show.
In the end though, I don't really care, as I watch Letterman and Craig Ferguson (The funniest of all the late night talk show hosts). Then Adult Swim. Then the re-run of the newest Colbert Report, since it's on at the same time as Letterman.
