Leno's show has been having low ratings compared to the very high ratings of Conan's. The Tonight Show got off to a very good start, but eventually the ratings rapidly dropped. It is now tied with the Late Show with David Letterman. As a result, NBC has cancelled O'Brien and brought back Leno to the Tonight Show. The details are still being worked out but O'Brien's final show could come as soon as January 22nd. Luckily for Conan, his exit deal will not prohibit him from going to a competitor. He will most likely end up doing a late night show for another network. At one time, it seemed like he would of gone to ABC but now, he has the option of FOX.
