Why is the "low ratings" of Conan even a factor here? The whole reason this thing started is because Leno absolutely sucked and wasn't keeping people on the channel so they watched the news. NBC given the choice between old and true and newer and growing, decided to go with the guy that goes down on his knees easier. You compare numbers from Carson to Conan... tell me... what percentage do those numbers reflect? And where did those people go to?
Hard to complain about people not watching you because of low ratings of a show that ends 35 minutes earlier

If that is the case Conan should complain about the bad ratings of NBC's 8 and 9 pm shows because they aren't highly rated either

If his show was good enough people would watch it, he was just not doing a good show and people were not watching it. I would love him to go to fox and do a show like he did on Late Night, but it wasn't good enough on the tonight show.

All the people crying out that Conan is being screwed and are going on "team conan" on facebook etc. could have easily solved the current problem by watching his show in the first place.
