NBC In case you're listening:

Fed Ex pope rules. I think he needs to bless the masturbating bear.

Looks like Conan may take his $40 mil and be gone.

Conan is going about it all wrong. He could really make Leno look like the piece of shit he is.

Good for him. I hope he lands a deal with FOX and then steals viewers/ratings from The Tonight Show.

He could but I don't think he wants to. It doesn't matter how Conan handles it, at this point it is pretty much a foregone conclusion he is not keeping the show. All the other late night guys are piling on Leno. The message that Leno is shitty is already being dealt with by them. Leno's comment last night "You know, folks, if you don't get the ratings, they take you off the air." doesn't help his image either, especially considering Leno's ratings at 10pm. Additionally, the public will only accept only so much animosity from Conan when he is leaving with $30+ million in his pocket. The way he is handling it Conan is able to look like a gracious victim of NBC's shitty decisions rather than bitter and vindictive.

Conan's pride is getting in the way. The money doesn't hurt either.

Conan isn't just sitting back, but so far he has confined his shots to NBC. There is very little fallout from attacking a faceless corporation that has a recent track record of mismanagement and a long track record of fucking up late night. If Conan goes personal and attacks Leno there is a much better chance of Conan losing public support.

Well, he has a point. You can't put it on after midnight, and still call it "Tonight".

Maybe they can fix it with different monikers, and keep everyone employed, but Conan has a point.

Dude, he's still funnier than Leno. I once had a boil that was funnier than Leno.
