Conan vs. Jay

The news is full of the NBC debacle. Was giving Leno five hours of prime time each week a brave experiment or an unimaginative way to save money? Is Conan's Tonight Show underperforming in the ratings compared to Leno's? Will NBC be sorry if Fox snaps Conan up because Leno's audience is so much older? Has Leno been a weak lead-in for the affiliates who count so heavily on the local news for revenue? Or is the new owner of NBC, Comcast, eager to dump Leno because it's hungry for scripted comedies and dramas that sell better ON DEMAND?

It's all interesting from a marketing and programming POV, but as a viewer? At 10:30 (CST) I'm strictly Colbert Nation.

    I'm usually fast asleep by the time these shows are even on.
