40. No there isn't.

Leno stabbed Carson and Letterman in the back to get the Tonight Show. He threw is longtime agent under the bus to keep it and is now rolling over Conan.

NBC screwed this up in the '90s when they gave the Tonight Show to Leno and thought they could keep Letterman happy at 12:30. They gambled and lost their dominance over the Late Night daypart. They gambled again by putting Leno at 10PM. All that accomplished was to lose their affiliates money and undermine Conan. Now they are going to damage the Tonight Show franchise and Conan even further. All to make Jay Leno happy. They are destroying their own house for one man. The only winner in all of this is David Letterman.
