"Hosting the Tonight Show has been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for me and I just want to say to the kids out there watching: You can do anything you want in life, unless Jay Leno wants to do it too."

From Conan O'Brien's monologue tonight. If this really is his last week on NBC, he's going out swinging. Bravo.

Leno's prime-time show is the reason for the crappy ratings for The Tonight Show. Nuke it and give Conan an opportunity to cultivate his time-slot without interference. How many people would have bothered sticking around to watch Leno if NBC had put Carson on right before him?

Agreed. I pay no attention to late-night talk shows (that don't start with "Daily" or "The Colbert"). Until very recently, I thought they'd just moved The Tonight Show to the 10:00 slot. Maybe I'm not the only one confused by the Leno Experiment.
