Conan or Leno?

That would suck for all parties involved. Conan has enough money to survive for that long, but Andy Richter, the band, the writers, and all the others who relocated to CA from NY for seven months of work will be screwed big time...

Some people say Conan's ego is responsible, but I think he's telling the truth when he wants to save the institution that is The Tonight Show. But I will no longer watch it when he leaves.



Also, is Jay the real reason behind this? All signs point to yes, but I haven't heard anything official about it being about him. I know he has some bigger role within the ranks of NBC, so I would assume it to be true.
