Like many people out there, I've been on "Team Conan" during the NBC late night battle. I'm glad Conan has stuck to his guns and I think he's gained more fans during all this by putting the show before himself. On the flip side, karma is going to come around and keep NBC's late night ratings low because of the awful way they have handled things and Jay's likability has definitely gone down. So, Conan will no longer be the King Of Late Night after this Friday -- but I guess *NOT* being king isn't so bad after all when you leave with your principals and $45 million ($33 million for Conan/$12 million for his staff). Conan can go back on the air somewhere in September -- here's hoping he gets picked up right away.

Wait, didn't "The Tonight Show" die midway through Leno's tenure?
