Either way, Conan or Leno, good people will be out of work.
I don't think that justifys what they're doing to Conan, however. It was the Jay Leno experiment that failed, not Conan O'Brien. Leave late night alone and deal with your primetime problems, NBC.

And I think NBC also is ignoring Conan's growing momentum. With Latterman's affair and aging loyal audience, NBC was lining up to overthrow Letterman in not just ratings but in the cult following.
Its also a terrible move because this is twice now Leno has screwed people to take that show, and if he goes to Fox or ABC, it now is two options that viewers have as an alternative to the Tonight Show.
