I wonder how all of this will affect the Tonight show's legacy, it's ratings, Leno's popularity... I would have serious doubts about it ever achieving the status it was at prior to this whole mess.
I have contended from the beginning and i'll say it again now.
Conan was not the problem. NBC messed with peoples routine, by placing the show they usually watch just before going to bed at 10:00(was Leno's new show all that different?). Conan never had a chance.
I'd still like to see a poll on this thread.
Conan or Leno?
