I doubt that many members of Team Coco are watching Leno while they wait for Conan to appear on TBS. > Even if I watched TV in real-time anymore, neither Dave nor Jay would > merit viewing.

Until the end was in sight, and everyone (including Johnny) wanted to do well in their last appearance, there were a lot of formulaic Tonight Shows with forgettable guests doing forgettable segments that had me watching reruns on other channels while I was waiting for Late Night to come on. -- TV or Not TV ....
