I guess I agree with ESPN's Bill Simmons, who tweeted a few days ago that if

I don't wonder what Johnny Carson would think. Johnny Carson wanted

Well, of course "O'Brien's own ratings performance in the 'Tonight Show'
time slot has been very disappointing." Low Leno ratings --> lower local
news ratings --> lower "Tonight Show" ratings. Though it's worth noting that
Conan has the numbers that count: on Friday, he outdrew Letterman in the

While on the face of it, Conan O'Brien's professional future may look very
challenged, several broadcast sources said Sunday that the late-night host and

There are a couple of decent dramas from Canuckistan they could pick up.
Joining the conversation late --
(1) Whether local news can be told apart does depend on the market, but it
hurt NBC the most in places where there were two passable products (the CBS
and the NBC) and Leno tanked;
(2) I can't believe I have to root for Fox Now.

It is that local news is usually equally bad, so you might as well not
change
the channel til Letterman comes on (or Nightline if you're watching ABC
though
more people might actually switch to it on a big news day).
