I've been Sick all week, saving my Voice for this Sunday
He wasn't forced out. The guy had the highest ratings of late night.
Here's what happened:
Conan's contract was gonna be up and he could've gone to another network and done the 11:30 time slot. NBC wanted to secure Conan and promised him 11:30 when Leno retired.
They offered Leno money at an earlier time slot because they didn't want to risk him going to another network.
I think he's horrible but his show always had higher ratings. They made a mistake. Conan doesn't even get half the audience of Leno.

i seem to remeber Leno doing a show with Conan as a guest like 4-5 years ago and was saying he was going to retire in a few and Conan was getting his job, but then in the past few years Jay started acting like he wasn't ready to retire.
I don't know, but i think maybe Jay planned on retiring and maybe doing something else and then he changed his mind but NBC already had plans made, again i'm just assuming, and NBC had to make another plan.
about the show itself , i watched the 1st just to see what it was about and because Seinfeld was going to be on. I liked the bit with that Dan Band guy.
I didn't watch Tues or Wed , but switched over during commercial of the game last night and just happened to catch Halle Berry coming on (she looked smoking hot) amd watched that interview then switched back.

I never really watched Jay too often.I was always a Letterman fan @ that time slot.Now,It's Conan for me.I make sure that I'm changing the channel though as soon as the credits roll because I can't stand the Jimmy Fallon show,it's repulsive.I caught a little of Jays new show this week and it was alright,I'll probably watch it now that its on @10 but more for the guests than for Jay.I wish they had put Letterman on @ 10 so I could watch him first then Conan afterward just like the good old days.I know,I need to just get a recorder.
