Professional courtesy on Leno's part should have demanded that he simply bow out. Can you imagine if this had been done to him when he took over The Tonight Show?

And yeah, sorry, Conan is funny. That's my opinion. Leno was amusing to me, but rarely as laugh out loud funny. When he went to 10, his show was just painful.

The real blunderer here is NBC, proving they have no idea how to handle their talent and their ratings slump.
