Jay Leno is OUT......Conan O'Brien is IN for the Tonight Show

NBC thought they might lose Conan to another network so they bumped Leno and contracted for Conan. He's a HOT property apparently.
The official switch is 5 years away, though.

Bubbye Jay!

2. He lost me when he started giving air time to Dennis Miller's rants.

I switched to Dave full time who they say is gaining alot of ground...part of which is attributed to being coupled with CSI as a lead in. I'll bet Dave is reeeeeally happy.

3. This is a bogus headline.
It's 5 years away.

Leno will have logged 17 years or some such.

"Bumped"? Five years from now?

I'm not defending him or criticizing him. I think the headline is bogus.

5. Jay was asked to leave....which was a big surprise to him. It's not
like he chose to retire in five years. So in that sense, he was suddenly given the pink slip....bumped....
