Once NBC announced it was canceling Jay Leno, Conan started reading the writing on the wall. I don't know, but people in Late Night need to talk about something other than the president and celebrity break ups. In this case, a network president breaking up with his celebrity hosts. But I still feel bad for Conan. He didn't take the Tonight Show to make $45 million dollars, he took it to do a good job and entertain people. He wasn't given a chance to do thing one, and thing two he did masterfully before bowing out. Maybe this was a fluff piece for you, or you were asked to opine about this but didn't have much invested in it, but there's a lot to why this story got so hot. I think this speaks to the American people in general, and the nature of business versus the nature of man. But yeah, it was pretty catty too.

What a story. You've got the big bad guy, the plucky hero, his buddies on the sidelines, the smarmy guy who shouldn't win, and millions of dollars at stake. Fascinating.
