If he's so gifted then why does he get beaten in every time slot? Craig Ferguson used to beat him. Letterman beats him now. He's the comic everyone says they like - but don't watch. Maybe we like the idea of him better than the reality.

Sad as it is, ratings wise, NBC would have been better off extending Jay Leno for another 5 years, and telling Conan to hit the pavement.

The deal was that Conan would take over the 11:35 time slot with the Tinight Show. He hasn't even been there a year yet, and NBC already wants to bump him to start 1/2 an hour later! Don't you think that is rather unfair?
