Conan is 100 times funnier than Jay Leno. Everyone knows it, except for NBC. That’s because they’re a network run by monkeys making decisions by slinging poo at a wall and attempting to decipher it like some primitive Rorschach test. Consequently, the latest news is that Conan will be done by next week.

Late-night funnyman Conan O’Brien’s last night as host of “The Tonight Show” will likely be next Friday, allowing Jay Leno to reclaim his old time slot.

“Conan does not currently plan on doing any more new shows after next week,” a source told People magazine’s Web site this afternoon.

TMZ.com reported today that Leno struck a deal with NBC to reclaim the 11:35 p.m. to 12:35 a.m. “Tonight Show” slot.

You know those reports that said if Conan left, Jay Leno would also leave NBC in show of solidarity? That was obviously bullshit. Leno just doesn’t want to be remembered as the guy who retired from NBC after two years of record low ratings. He wants to go out on top and if that means screwing Conan over in the process, then so be it. He’ll stab Conan in the back himself and then frame the knife.
