[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can anyone give a one or two sentence summary of how he fucked Conan over? I hear that a lot but don't really know what it refers to?[/quote]

He bought the network and fired Conan. No wait, he was at the mercy of the network just like Conan was. Conan's show wasn't any good and he was replaced by a host who had a history of successful numbers. It's that simple.[/quote]

Not quite. Leno started pushing hard for his old job back early. And as for the ratings, traditionally, they give them some time to find their audience, a concession which was not made to Conan (but was to Leno).[/quote]

THIS.  Also, when Conan started, he took a while to get off the ground (as any new show), but he then took off, once it happened.  Conan is by far more talented, funny and intelligent (Harvard grad) - I think Jay tried to allude tho that in closing.  Alas, too little too late.

I really resent Jay's pass the torch sh*t.  Its nonsense.  But Conan gave it back to him, in more ways than one.  Last night, supposedly Conan said that NBC will be covering the Olympics, the only show able to "carry the torch".  He followed that he was allowed one, and the audience gave him much deserved extended applause.   I am paraphrasing here, and my delivery may have not allowed full justice to Conan.

Conan handled the slighting by going to a cable network.  He had already moved his family to L.A. (he's an east coaster, obviously).  Now, Fallon will be moving the Tonight Show back to N.Y. for the first time, if ever.  It's just B.S. that NBC did not want to accommodate Conan.  Conan would have saved the show, long term.  There was no long term thinking on NBC's part.
