People have been use to watching Jay Leno for the past what 17 years and if they enjoyed watching his tonight show its obvious they would continue to watch his new show earlier. If Jay didn't have his "Jay Leno Show" then that would have given Conan's tonight show a much better chance to survive.

Neither did Conan for 4 months and no, people that watched the tonight show for years would continue to watch it. Unless they didn't like it anymore.
