Conan May Leave 'Tonight'

January 13, 2010 | ISSUE 46•02

Saying that he doesn't want to take part in the destruction of the Tonight Show legacy, Conan O'Brien announced he will step down from the program he began hosting eight months ago if NBC moves it to a later time slot. What do you think?

Bravo.
