It's sort of similar to an agent, who has a "book". Let's say they hire to replace Agent 'A' and hire Agent 'B' to do so. They want Agent 'B' to become even better than 'A' used to be. Unfortunately, Agent 'A' has decided after the fact to stay and keep his book to himself, instead of letting Agent 'B' take it over. The agents' clients will tend to stick with the agent, not the company (or in this case, tv show) they are representing. Some people who liked Leno moved with Leno and this left Conan (agent 'B') with an uphill battle.
Poor decision making at NBC.

Then Leno would take viewers to a different network.
Bottom line is that Leno is the best in the bussiness and NBC made a blunder by changing the Tonight Show. Did they ruin it? Not yet, but they are getting close. What a shame.
If it ain't broken.....
Conan was doing better in his Late show too so again, if it ain't broken.....
