Conan introduces new Tonight Show character

What really aggravates me about all this is that NBC did not give Conan a fair shot at the show. It usually takes awhile for the public to warm up to a new host on a long-time running show like The Tonight Show. How many people tuned out the first year when Leno took over for Johnny Carson? How long did it take for Jay to gain ratings equal to Carson's?

If it were me, I'd say to Jay Leno, "Hey, it's too bad your prime time experiement failed, but such is life. We/you took a risk and it didn't pay off. We'll help you find something else, but you cannot have your old job back." Just out of principle, I certainly will not watch Jay when he returns to the Tonight Show.

I don't feel sorry for Conan, as he's getting a nice severance package, who I do feel bad for are his staff, many that don't make exorbitatant amounts of money and are now unemployed. Some even moved to LA.
