Would it be fair to say that O'Brien is an ingrateful bastard cause NBC plucked him out of near total obscurity and placed him on Letterman's pedestal

I mean someone took a big flyer on him from his own statements. True if he flopped back then they would have kicked him to the curb so he did have to hold his own in the deal.

Jay and Cona should both leave then NBC would be stuck with Jimmy Fallon -- nm - eag Jan 12, 20:32
No, it would not be fair. -- nm - kelly Jan 12, 20:25
Giving him the Letterman spot was a gamble that paid off. Conan earned respect (and the Tonight Show). He's totally entitled. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 20:25 1
- but not in the same sense that Leno *feels* entitled. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 20:29

  - hey, you know him best. i'll trsut your characterization. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 20:30
No. He worked hard, earned his chops, played by their rules. It would not be fair to say that at all. -- nm - Qale Jan 12, 20:21 1
- I agree with Qale. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:24
No. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 20:21
Uh, no, I'd say that NBC is the ungrateful bastard in this whole thing. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 20:21
