Financially speaking, dropping Leno for O'Brien was a mistake. They are correcting the mistake. I doubt that anybody at NBC WANTED things to turn out the way they did for Conan, but sometimes, difficult decisions need to be made.

It's how they said it. They literally said they wanted to forget the debacle and return to 2009 where Leno was #1 in late night. It was a douchebag thing to say/write and completely insulting to Conan, his fans, staff, anyone with half a brain.
