Yeah there are all kinds of different stories about it. Some say Leno thought he might want to retire then others say Leno was just upset at them and wanted a raise ( he thought he should be paid more than Letterman if he is always beating Letterman in the ratings) and other say that Conan was promised the job when he took over the 12:35 slot years ago and was on the verge of leaving if he didn't get it so they decided to make him happy and give him the show.
Who knows what the whole truth is, could be a little bit of all of those or something completely different.
