Whether or not Conan O’Brien stays at NBC, the recent drama surrounding late-night programming has given the host the ratings boost he has been hoping for.

Tuesday night’s airing of The Tonight Show saw a 42 percent gain in adults aged 18-49 from the previous night. Also, O’Brien’s 1.7 adults in 18-49 rating in local People Meter markets trumped Letterman’s .9 18-49 rating for Monday’s shows. Leno averaged a 1.2 18-49 rating in those same local people meter markets. Last week, for Monday, January 4, O'Brien had a 1.0 18-49 rating.

As for Jay Leno’s primetime program, the ratings were stagnant, staying about the same they were last week. Letterman’s Late Show (which airs against O’Brien’s show) ratings also remained constant.

Leno made his choices and now he has to live with them. His show is just not funny, and moving the time back is not going to change that. Conan deserves his turn as the Tonight Show host.

This debacle will only hurt NBC and Leno, no matter how they try to spin it. I agree - Leno should step aside and STAY RETIRED!!

Jay be the big man and step down, your career isn't over but you made the choice to go to 9PM it didn't work that doesn't give you the RT to screw someone else Remember WWJD? Not what your doing!

WWJD in regard to a television show? Give me a break. Besides its 10PM not 9PM. I'm sure neither of these guys are going to be broke and not doing a show - just depends on what network and how many millions.
