Pity Conan, NBC execs

Oh, don't feel sorry for Conan! I'm sure he's not going to be hurting for fame or fortune.

I'll reserve my sympathy for people who deserve it.

Still--pretty much stinks for Conan. If I were him, I'd be ticked. He's way funnier than Leno, though, so maybe I'll actually start watching the Tonight Show again.

The big questions are: How long will NBC really keep a prime-time Leno show on the air? And when that experiment fails, what will they do with Leno? How will the comedy sandwich with local news in the middle really fly? How frightened are the local affiliates? Locally, will this hurt KSL's reign at 10:00? And will Leno's prime-time show still be as crude as what he's been doing for many years already? Can he really change his stripes now?

Aye, Conan is simply terrible, Im sorry but it pains to watch him, one would think that after all these years his comedic talent would get sharper but its just the same irritating mess. leno on the other hand is a true comic and thats why he endures, theres something about watching a pro hone his craft, leno is the King.
