I hope Conan jumps ship from NBC caving to Leno's demands

Patton Oswalt had a great take on Scott Aukerman's Comedy Death Ray. In short, most comedians don't have much respect for Leno and they do the show only because they should.
Letterman was a huge Carson fan and took what he saw, said how can I make this better and did. Conan did the same with Letterman. Jay Leno just wanted the Tonight Show and didn't really change much. Most of his segments are just old Paar or Carson segments.
Letterman did his time, Conan did his, Leno was handed everything for some reason. A real talented stand up at one time, now he just reads questions given to him by movie studios. He gets stars there to pimp their new crap not guys like Norm McDonald that show just cause they are funny. I would much rather watch Letterman take his guests out of their element by making them uncomfortable or Conan getting his guests to make fun of themselves.
