I caught a little bit of The Late Shift once, but I was not as fascinated by the television industry as a whole as I am now. I'd love to go back and watch it. Conan O'Brien could probably play himself, since he may not be working on an actual talk show for a while.

I wonder just how much Jay has to do with it, though. I mean, didn't he threaten to jump to another network and compete if he didn't get his prime-time show, even though it was a ridiculous idea (that failed and apparently cost a news programs a 40-50% weaker lead-in in some markets)? If Jay really wanted to pass the torch to Conan, he would have left NBC last year. Leno wanted to stick around, and that congestion has really added to this mess.
