One question is why didn't NBC ask Conan if he would move to midnight
before announcing it.
I realize the leak made them make an announcement before they planned to
(though they would
have gotten a lot of questions at TCA even if it hadn't), but they could
have delayed a day and asked Conan.
Another one is why didn't Leno say what he said Monday night sometime last
week? While the Chief would still be acting like Leno peed in his milk (when
did he turn the corner, exactly), saying something nice about Conan earlier in
the process would have diminished the bile, if just a little.
My guess is that someone in legal convinced them that it wasn't a
question of asking O'Brien as much as telling him he's going to 12:05.
I don't think NBC was far-sighted enough to imagine what this has
turned out to be. And I'd also guess that there was a group of
affiliates who were ready to
I guess most people just read Leno's remarks or watched a video:
Jay Leno Show (4.6 million, 1.3) was down 19%.

And Conan continues to do well:
Tonight averaged a 1.8 rating in Nielsen's 25 metered markets with
Here’s the thing about Leno: He’s a politician.
He thinks and acts like a politician every single second of his life.
Ratings are his votes. If you view Leno as a politician everything he

road pressing the flesh all the time.

Just watched the Rose/Zucker interview. Some thoughts:
Zucker is now indistinguishable from Ari Fleischer in appearance and
mannerisms, and I'm not unconvinced they're the same person expunging
the same hot air.
Ever bland, Rose asked the traditional questions with no followups and
brought no
Since Ari Fleischer is now flacking for the folks behind Bowl Championship
Series, I think Kevin's concerns are well grounded.
Have the affiliates really banded together to put Leno back at 11:35? Methinks
Kevin has been well and duly Zucked, and in a creepy way. I thought the

2004: I said, well, I ve been number one for 12 years.
Dave's LS trounced Jay's TS during LS's first two years. It was in
1995 when Jay first surpassed Dave in the ratings. Odd that Jay needs
to beef up his acknowledged impressive record by adding three years to
it.
