How did Jay run Conan into the ground for 7 months again?

Ok I was wrong about the 5 year part , I knew it wasn't until leno had Hugh grant on to discuss the devine brown situation that's when he first best letterman.


I was wrong about 7 monthS instead of 5.

Obrien was given 3 months tops to go it on his own, then leno came on. I stand by the rest of my statement. Leno was wrong and should have walked away.
