Hilarious.  I don't like his show and don't think it is particularly that funny, but he got the bad end of the deal on this.

I think NBC is regretting letting Leno go/moving him to Prime Time.

NBC tried to get greedy.  Instead of paying mucho denaro to pay for a prime time drama, which costs 10 times what a talk/comedy show costs, they thought they could save money and have leno at 10pm and move conan up an hour.  Now, it's gonna cost them mucho denaro anyway because they hav to buy out Conan's contract, $80 mil + AND still find something for 10pm (more $$) after the olympics end.

I don't like Conan, but man, his recent rips on NBC and Leno have me peeing my pants!!!  :D

He is getting the shaft, but I applaud him for standing his ground.
