Team CoCo

Is Conan leaving NBC? Jay Leno seems poised to return to 11:30. Personally I think Leno should just retire, as he had announced he would, before NBC decided to give him the weeknight 10:00 slot. (Another bad decision on NBC's part.) But more importantly, Conan gives me more laughs than Leno. Does this late-night feud really engross America to the point that they are distracted from the vital issues of the day? It seems not. But it does make the US look stupid, that this seems to be such important news. Maybe Americans have nothing else to talk about at the water cooler; or the prospect of talking about health care "reform" or what the banks and mortgage companies and so on did to precipitate the economic crisis is too daunting.
