Go Team Coco

I am one of the rare [here] viewers who liked Leno and rarely watched Conan at either time slot. I tuned in to see the trainwreck.

But Leno made a huge deal about leaving the Tonight Show for his 10pm experiment and if it failed he was going to retire. Instead of the "handshake deal", he has an iron-clad contract that says that he is to be paid a ridiculous amount of money or moved back to 11:35.

I don't understand what went down with affiliates threatening to pull out because their 11pm news is losing viewers. If they are NBC affiliates wtf would they air.

On one hand I'm glad Leno is gone from 10pm (I never watched him there) and hopefully there will be some actual programming instead of reality crap (hey, a gal can dream). On the other Conan got screwed.

I'm bummed he wasn't actually wasting the Tonight Show budget.
