So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.
-Conan O’Brien
What will happen now at NBC? NBC was recently purchased by Comcast and hopes to resurrect the struggling television network. While the Tonight Show has struggled behind David Letterman’s late night show since O’Brien took over as the host of the Tonight Show, has NBC made a mistake in replacing Leno to save O’Brien?
