Warb, sorry if I seemed snappy back in post 70. I honestly thought you were using the Fox News comment as a bit of a slam, I hate being pigeon holed like that. Whether you did or didn't mean it that way, I should not have reacted so harshly.
And now back on topic:
After reading Mielr's post, the whole thing makes a lot more sense. The whole idea that Conan who, as popular as he was on Late Night, was fairly expendable, was able to demand Jay's spot never really added up.
