No CBS had no idea it was gonna turn into this scandal(though they should have realized Leno wouldn't be good for shit on prime time). They are having their name dragged through the mud by everyone even their own comedians this isn't like family guy's shots at fox either its a bit worse. Anyways.... Ferguson is better!
Edit: two posts in and the Ferguson's have it add a Ferguson option for the poll!!

I couldn't care less about Conan or Leno - I've never found either of them very funny; David Letterman is the king, as far as I'm concerned - he's got much better writers on his side, and his delivery is fantastic.
I used to like Conan before Andy left to pursue his short-lived career. Now though, even with Andy's return, Conan is still crap. Letterman and Leno frankly just aren't funny.
I don't think it's a publicity stunt. I think Jay Leno is an arrogant ass and just cannot stand more than a weekend out of the spotlight. He tried retirement, hated it, and managed to himhaw himself back onto his former show after it was given away. Since they couldn't give it back so easily, they tried a short show before the evening news, and when the ratings tanked, they decided to screw Conan.
Conan is the victim here, and he should tell NBC to stick it in their ass.

I have no idea what this is about and I dont feel the need to find out... I'm going back to listening to SOAD now...
The only Conan I care about wears a loincloth and works as a barbarian conqueror. All other Conans are just impostor Conans.
That said, I haven't watched enough Conan or Leno to really have any opinion over this. I usually don't watch TV up late.

I doubt it's a publicity stunt, it's more like NBC not knowing what the hell they're doing and screwing Conan over. Leno should've been let go for good after his contract ended. I've never been a fan of his, and I don't blame him entirely, but I doubt without his persistent whining they never would've given him an earlier show and the whole mess wouldn't have happened.
At this point though, even if he gets the Tonight Show back, I think the ratings would still tank. All the old people who used to watch it before going to bed have probably just been confused by the host changes, and been disgusted by Conan, and have switched over to Matlock. Most the people who actually paid attention and watched it for some semblance of comedic value will probably realize Leno is a huge douche if he takes the show back. And as for Conan, with all the things he's been saying about NBC the last week, I doubt he'd want to stick around much longer even if they kept him as host at the same time.
I rarely watch late night talk shows at this point, but Conan was my favorite for a good 8 years, and he's still hilarious. Ferguson is alright, certainly has his moments. Letterman, well I'd probably get flamed if I said what I thought about him, but I'm not a fan.
