He is funny, but his humor is for a certain audience and he can't seem to draw enough viewers at 11:35. If they just canceled Leno and left Conan, he would still be in last place. Now they are trying to salvage it all and it makes Leno and NBC look really bad.
It took Leno YEARS to take over after Carson handed the show over. I want to say for 2.5 to 3 years the show was floundering before it finally started to take off and gain traction. Back then people bitched about Leno for not a few months,... YEARS.

Frankly, while I do not care for any of them, however that said, they need to refer to the history after Carson when Leno took over and how long it took for people to accept him.
