I still don't know what everyone was expecting Leno to do. He was pushed out to pasture before he was ready. Conan fell flat on his face in that spot, and NBC asked Jay to come back. So if Jay says no and they bring in someone else, would that make everyone feel better?

Surely Conan's ratings weren't low due to the previous host being on before him.

Look, the only reason Conan lost his show to Leno was because it wasn't making money for the network.

If everyone liked Conan and the ratings were there, it wouldn't make any difference who Leno blows, Conan is staying on.

I never really understood this whole "Let's stand behind Conan" stuff, because the people up in arms that he got cancelled were obviously not watching him.

I don't give network executives credit for enough intestinal fortitude to stand behind someone just because they like him. It's all dollars and cents for these guys.

A network executive would give his mothers murderer a show if the ratings were there.

Leno brings more viewers to the table, so he wins.....simple as that.

This.

I don't find any of the 3 entertaining.

Also, this.

People ragging on Conan aren't taking into account two things:

Leno still had a show on BEFORE Conan once he got the Tonight Show spot. Leno's ratings also weren't very good, but they decided to push Conan out because Leno was unhappy and wanted his spot back.

The other thing is, Conan's show wasn't Conan anymore. It was greatly reduced and toned down once he was doing the Tonight Show... I guess to cater to the older audience whose greatest joy was listening to "Headlines" and having a slight chuckle on 1 out of 10 jokes in Leno's monologue.

Good to see Conan still doing his thing, he is a hilarious guy and a great interviewer/show host.

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
