Yeah, why even attempt a late night show that starts a half hour after your competitors?

Conan's stance (and I agree with him) was that The Tonight Show has, does, and always will start immediately after the local news.

And Leno didn't screw NBC. Every night his show aired, NBC saved $2,600,000. Sure - it may put them in last place for ratings for a decade, but this is America, where no corporation thinks more than one fiscal quarter into the future. Everyone associated with this fiasco will be retired multimillionaires who won't give a rat's ass about NBC's future.

Jay should've taken a lesson from Kurt Warner - "You don't want to leave too early; but you never want to stay too long." Go enjoy your cars, Jay.

I think the only one who acted with any class was Conan - he got his 200 employees a $12M severance. That averages to $60 grand per person - that should last them till he starts on Fox in September. Plus, despite his jabs at NBC his last week, he ended his last show with a pretty classy thank you to NBC for all the wonderful years he spent there.

Now - on to more important business - why in the hell did TNT drop Raising the Bar; and ABC start The Deep End?
Wow - lose one great legal show and gain a terrible one that will be lucky to last past valentines Day.
