well, maybe I and others have demonized Leno too much. After seeing more info on the situation. I will agree that Leno isn't the bad guy. But I still don't believe Conan is the bad guy. The bad guy imho, is the Network.

Why are these 20-somethings so upset? Seems to me that they'd be happy for Conan if he will be cashing a $40 million dollar check AND most likely getting a show directly opposite from Leno on Fox. That way we'd have three to choose from Leno, Letterman, and Conan.

yeah, Conan may be able to get another show on another network, but it won't carry with it the legacy, history and prestige the Tonight Show has.

The people I feel sorry for are those that work with Conan behind the scenes. Some of these aren't people who are making millions of $$, They relocated across the country from coast to coast. Some probably sold their houses on the east coast and bought news ones on the West coast. Some of them probably had to take their kids out of school. There lives were uprooted and and for what? Just to be fired several months later. That just doesn't seem right.
