Apparently he was costing stations something like $500,000 a week. They needed to get rid of Leno from that slot. They also don't want him competing. It was inevitable something like this would happen, I guess.

Part of me wishes that Conan would stay on with NBC, take the hit and go back half-an-hour, and then compete with Leno from within. He already has the good will, and Leno's show will be horrible, especially with only 30 minutes to work with. Eventually Conan would have taken The Tonight Show back to 11.35. The man sticks to his principles, though. I've got a feeling that Leno/Fallon are going to have a hard time taking down Letterman/Ferguson right now, though.
