Conan is a crybaby! TV is and always was about ratings. Ratings are even more important in this bad economy. NBC is better off without Conan and company. Even if another network did want to shell out $70 million to start a late night show, it would be tough to take viewers from the already established Leno and Letterman shows. Jay produced better ratings both short term and over the long haul, He wasn't given long enough to develope a following in prime time – even NBC didn't expect a following until re-run season. His type of show isn't the type for prime-time anyway. The bottom line is that NBC was only trying to keep Conan and Jay happy by the whole time-slot change thing anyway and there isn't room for both of them.
Well, I think no matter what, when the change happened the ratings were going to drop. Even if Leno had retired all together, there still would have been a decrease in ratings because people naturally don't like change. I think had Conan been given more time he would have surpassed Letterman. The bottom line is both Leno and Letterman only have so much steam left in them and Conan is the future. NBC will learn that the hard way when Leno retires in a few years.
