NBC wants to move "The Jay Leno Show" out of prime-time and to the 11:35 p.m. EST daily slot, bumping "Tonight" to 12:05 p.m. EST.
In a statement Tuesday, O'Brien insists the move would "seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting."

NBC has a chance to improve their late night without Conan, I won't watch as long as he is on air.
I don't watch either one of them, but you know, they are both going to end up with a lot of $$$$$!
Conan's fantastic - but he needs more time to gain more audience loyalty during this time slot.
