The NBC Late Night Disaster Continues

How much longer do we have to wait for NBC to confirm what we all know. That Conan O'Brien is leaving "The Tonight Show" and NBC. Since NBC Entertainment announced on January 10th that they were canceling "The Jay Leno Show" it's been drama daily. On Monday the 11th it was announced that NBC executives wanted to move Jay to 11:35pm for a half hour with Conan to follow at 12:05am. On the 12th Conan said he would not be pushed back to the later start time. Here we sit on day 11 of this saga, still no departure announcement for Conan from NBC. Published reports say that this Friday the 22nd will be Conan's last day as host of the 56 year old NBC late night show.

What do you think? Who got the shaft? Was Conan to blame, or Jay? Should NBC have given Conan more time to build an audience? Where will Conan end up?
