I don’t really have much in the way of explaining this strip, Mortimer the Brontosaurus explained things far better than I could.

Instead I’ll talk some more about Conan.  As someone who writes comedically twice a week it’s hard watching one of your idols getting screwed.  Not the majority of people I talk to, but some have said he just doesn’t fit at that time slot, that he was “better at 12:30.” I don’t really think those people were watching at 12:30.  Fun facts for the Conan uninitiated:  Conan wrote for SNL during it’s last great cast period, during the Sandler, Farley, Hartman Era.  He wrote The Simpsons when they were in there golden age up to and including the Monorail episode.  He was on his little Late Night show for 17 years.  I think the guy’s paid his dues.  If you haven’t been watching Conan these last couple of weeks you’ve been missing out.  The last two weeks when looked back in tonight show history will probably be looked back upon as the best shows in Tonight Show History.  Also you missed Sandler dropping the C bomb on national television last night and the Bugatti Veyron Mouse.  NBC’s taking the Tonight Show from Conan.  I wish someone would take the Tonight Show away from NBC.
