It's true that they're fucked, but I don't blame Conan for it. If Conan had gone on at 12:05 there is no guarantee that it would have helped the ratings, or that this wouldn't become an issue six months down the line. It's hard to say what would have happened. They have regular show lead ins, but then they have the condensed Jay Leno Show up against Letterman. That seems like it would have been a bad strategy too.
