Conan is the one who demanded he be given the tonight show or he was going to leave for another network in 2004, and NBC agreed to do it in 2009
Where is Jay in the wrong here?

I believe the deal was that NBC would either give Conan the Tonight Show in 2009 or give Conan something like $35 million. They should have just paid the money and kept things as they were.
As is, Leno, Conan, Fallon, and probably Carson Daly are all rightfully upset with NBC. They've handled this as poorly as they possibly could from the start, and these time shifts are just the lastest in a long line of mistakes.
