My original point was to identify the winners and losers of NBC's mis-management of Conan. Frankly, I had assumed that Lorne produced Conan's Tonight Show, but I see that he did not. I guess I forgot that. In retrospect that might have been Conan's biggest mistake - one suspects with Lorne running his show NBC would have been less likely to screw him so badly. Still, Lorne always was, and always would be, a major player at NBC late night, with or without a Conan Tonight Show; Jimmy Fallon would now be NBC's third most prominent late night host (with Carson riding high with The Voice) if NBC had not screwed Conan. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
